Venus Media: Does Venus Control Suite automatically publish changes to the display(s) if I edit active presentations?

Topic

  • Do I have to republish/re-save my playlist after I make changes to a message that is currently running on my display?
  • Does Venus Control Suite (VCS) automatically publish changes to the display(s) if I edit existing presentations that are already playing or scheduled to play?
  • How long should it take for my sign to update its content after a content change is made in Venus Control Suite (VCS).

Environment

  • Product: Venus Basic, Venus Select, Venus Professional, Venus Enterprise
  • Components: Venus Pro Ad Grid, Venus Pro Playlist
  • Control System: Venus Cloud-Based, Venus Local

Steps

Venus Control Suite automatically updates.

  • If you edit content that is currently playing on your display, Venus Control Suite will automatically update it for you without having to re-publish the playlist.  Venus Control Suite will send out a notification to the display that content currently playing has been edited and will provide the updated content to download.

How often does Venus Control Suite update?

  • Any changes that are saved will sync automatically so you do not need to re-save (re-publish) the playlist(s).  Syncing is a method to keep content up to date on a controller.  Within 1-2 minutes of saving changes made to a file, Venus Control Suite sends out a new file notification to every display controller that is playing the message and the controller then downloads it.  There is also a 15-minute timer set to run continually in order to ensure that things are kept up to date as well.
