Control grid description
This allows you to give this control or play list item a friendly name, for when
it appears in grids.
Fast designing options for this control (Not available to all
controls)
The Repeat Signage Designer allows you to set out your presentation on
screen in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) way. For example,
when you add a video control, the video starts playing so that you can see
how it is going to look. However, if you are designing presentation to
spread over a large True HD (1920x1080 pixels) screen and have multiple
controls with play lists, then the Repeat Signage Designer will have a lot
of work to do keeping all these controls being displayed as well as allowing
the adding, editing, resizing, and moving of controls and the designer may
become un-responsive if too much is going on.
The options below allow you to turn off some of the designer features to
make designing and the data input of play lists faster:
IMPORTANT NOTE - You don't need to turn any of these on unless you are
having slowness problems when designing.
Stop this control refreshing after being resized - When you resize
most controls, including Picture and Text Label controls, then when you have
finished resizing them, they get refreshed so that they display correctly at
the new size. Now if the control is a Picture control, for example,
and uses a play list with dozens of pictures, then this refresh after
resizing could takes several seconds to do the refresh. Putting a tick
in this box disables the refresh. If you want to refresh the control,
then just right mouse click it and select the 'Refresh' option.
Stop play list and scrolling when designing - Controls that use
play lists or scrolling will update themselves continually. Turning
this off in the designer will speed up your designing.
Fast design mode - Turn off player optimisations when designing -
When you play a presentation with the Repeat Signage Player it does things
like dynamically resize images in memory before displaying them so that the
memory and processor usage are kept to a minimum. Many of these
optimisations are also done in the designer as well which is fine for basic
controls, but controls with scrolling or play lists can run a lot slower.
This option turns off some of these features so that the designer has less
work to do when setting up and refreshing controls.
