New features and suggestions / Template Builder and Placeholders

« on: July 18, 2012, 10:51:23 AM »

It would be really nice if we could build our own Templates in which we would use placeholders in the timeline. Not actuall images or files, but just open placeholders like the channels to the sign template. So I could build a whole template where I could just drag and drop an asset onto the placeholder and the placeholder would be replaced with the asset while including the specs of the placeholder. This could be accomplished on the timeline itself or similar to the dragging of a scene to a component in properties. Maybe it's already in the works? 

Call it storyboard builder or something?

mediaPLAYERS, Hardware and accessories / LCD Manufacture recomendations

« on: July 16, 2012, 09:08:22 PM »

I am looking at purchasing a few displays in the near future and before I did, I wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts from experience on their favorite brands. Currently I am looking at NEC, LG and ELO. I have not had any issues at all with my NEC monitors, in fact they still look awesome even though they are plasma. No burn in what so ever. The Samsungs on the other hand didn't last two years before there was major burn in. It has been about 6 years since I bought the Samsungs, so maybe they have changed since or at least the LCDs are better then they were. I have seen may LG's installed and I have not heard of any issues with them, but that is why I am asking the community what you all have experienced. I have also seen the ELO brand, but those are mainly used for touch screens. I believe that they have cpu's built in them as an option so I am not sure if these would be a great option since the player is already built in. I am sure I will be placing touch screens out there, so that is why I have added that as well. Thanks for everyone's input.

Report bugs and errors / Navigation Items disappearing!

« on: July 14, 2012, 06:38:41 PM »

I am just wondering if this is a normal behavior. I check of several items to be included in the Navigation pane such as outgoing ads and incoming ads. I have tried saving, set default layout, you name it. Every time I logout and log back in, I have to do it all over again as the only items that remain are Resources, Campaign, and Stations. Could it be a bad preference file on the computer or is this normal?

I am running 3.0 Enterprise.
