Scheduler Administrator before running it.
Near the end of the installation, you're requested to make changes to the
configuration.
If the MvTv Scheduler Server is not on the same PC as the Administrator, then
change the Server URL to the name or IP Address of the Server.
Change the port number to the port number that the MvTv Scheduler Server is on.
Once you've set the Port number, select Generate Config File, then close the
editor. |

|

3. If you need to change the configuration, the default location for the Admin
Config Editor (MvTvAdminConfigEditor.exe) is located in C:\Program

Scheduler Administrator, double-click on the MvTv Scheduler

in the UserList table... see the Server FAQ).
NOTE: The MvTv is a
remoting program that communicates with the IP protocol utilizing
ports.If you can't login to the Admin, check to make sure your
firewall isn't blocking all ports. Either turn your firewall off
(just for testing) or add the required port number as an exception
(preferred method). |

To add or delete videos to the Scheduler Server (if you have a video clip, browse
to it and add it).
Clip Running Times are not mandatory, however are recommended. |
| |
|
| |
Group
Management: |
| |
Use to Create different groups of Clients (each Group can play a different
playlist if you wish)
"Caption" is scrolling text that appears below playing videos. Add a "space" you
don't want a caption.
If you leave the Caption field blank, "Please change or delete this Caption"
becomes the Caption by default.
To change or delete it, select the check box beside that Group, then change the
caption (or leave blank), then select Update Checked Group.
If you wish to
delete a Group, select the Group's check box, then select "Delete Selected
Group", and select Yes when prompted. If you have more than one Client and
Group, you can move Clients to other Groups by selecting the Group, then
choosing available clients in the "Add to Group" box, then clicking on the right
arrow button to move that client.
You can also move clients by selecting them
from the "Client Stations in Group" box and clicking on the left arrow button. |
| |
|
| |
Client
Station Management: |
| |
Station Clients are the devices that play the scheduled playlist content. They
need to be members of Groups.
Even though different Clients may be located in different locations, all clients
that belong to the same Group play the same content. If Clients are to play
different content, then they should be created in different Groups, which can be
created in the Group Management section.
To create a new Client, add the new
Client's name to the "Client Station Name or Location" field. Select which Group
you want your new Client to be in, then click on the "Add New Client Station"
button.
You can activate or deactivate a Client Station by selecting its' check box,
then selecting "Activate/Deactivate Client Stations. You can delete a Client
Station by selecting its' check box, then selecting "Delete Checked Client
Stations.
|

|

Playlist
Management: |
| |
Playlist are what you create so that Clients play what you want in the order you
have chosen.
The Main Playlist is created for you by default. You can change it by selecting
clips from the "Videos" box and then clicking on the right arrow. To move a clip
in the Playlist order, select it in the "Playlist Order" order box, then click
the up or down arrows to move the clips order in the playlist. Keep in mind that
changes to active playlists occur in realtime... clicking submit is not
necessary.
You can create new playlists by clicking on the "Add New Playlist"
button, add the Playlist Description, then click on Accept.
You can change a Playlists' name by selecting the checkbox beside a playlist,
then selecting "Update Description".
Unlike the
Repeater, the Scheduler only plays what's scheduled in the playlist
each hour. The Scheduler plays only one playlist per hour, so if you
don't want any black space, you should schedule an hours' worth of
video for every playlist.
You can Activate/Deactivate a playlist by selecting the checkbox beside a
playlist, then selecting "Activate/Deactivate".
You can Delete a playlist (as long as it hasn't been used already), by selecting
the checkbox beside a playlist, then selecting "Delete Playlist". |

Schedule
Playlists: |
| |
The default Main Playlist is scheduled by default when you install
the Administrator.
You can schedule when you want playlists for different groups to change.
If you don't
schedule a playlist in a timeslot, then the previously programmed
playlist will be repeated.
You can schedule timeslots as far in
the future as you wish.
The
Schedule Playlists page also allows you to create multiple playlists for each
Group.
To schedule a playlist, select the Start Date from the drop down box, select the
Group that the playlist should apply to from the Group drop down list, then
click in the timeslot that the playlist should start playing from, and select
the playlist from the drop down list, by clicking on the down arrow and
selecting the available playlist. (If a playlist is missing, the program may
need to be refreshed. Just close the Admin program and reopen it).
Playlists will play for each group until a new playlist is scheduled. |

|
| |
Broadcast
Monitoring: |
| |
Allows you to see a history of what’s played on the Clients. Every time a Client
plays a clip, it sends that information to the server. You can see how many
times clips have played during a time period on a Client Station by selecting
the report start (From Date), the end (To Date) and then selecting the video
from the drop down list, then selecting "Generate Impressions Report". |

3. You'll need a valid license to operate the MvTv Repeater Server.
The license must be entered into the database file located by default in:
C:\Program Files\MicroVideo Learning Systems Inc\MvTv Repeater Server\Database
Replace the MvTv.mdb in the folder with the one MicroVideo supplies you, or put
a valid license in the CustomerID in the ClientReference table. |
