Content Studio: How do I configure custom possession indicators via sport media RTD?

Topic

I want to use an image of a basketball or football to indicate possession instead of < and > indicators.
Media RTD displays images instead of alphanumerical real time data.

This article is meant to show you how to put Media RTD into use. Refer to Show Control System: How do I create content with sport media RTD fields?

Environment

Product: Content Studio
Component: All Sport
Control System: Show Control System (SCS)

Steps

Saving your media

DMP-8000 Supported File Types: VMPL, VMPF, AVI, BMP, JPG, JPEG, PNG, MPG, MPEG, and SWF

Images must stored in the MediaRTD folder, located under C:\Program Data\Daktronics\VNET4\Content\MediaRTD

DMP-7000, see Venus 7000: How to display bitmaps based on data fields?

DMP-7000 Supported File Types: BMP, JPG, PNG, GIF, and TIF
- Images must be stored in the Bitmaps folder, located under D:\V7000\Bitmap

Naming your media

Images must match the same name as the RTD field it will be linked to.
Possession information comes into the Daktronics system as the abbreviation POSS. Therefore, the basketball or football image files need to be named POSS.png.

Import the RTD Field

Drag & drop into your presentation. Game In Progress: Football
- Use Home/Guest Possession Text (' ' or 'POSS')

Possession information comes from the All Sport for both football and basketball.

Check the "Is media RTD" checkbox.
A popup window will open. Browse to the image you wish to associate with the RTD Field.
When you select a file, you are not necessarily selecting the image that will always appear, rather a place holder that will allow you to properly place where you want the Media RTD to appear. The content that appears will depend on the naming of the files and the corresponding data.

Possession arrow considerations

The indicator is often brightly colored and/or realistic looking footballs or basketballs are used with a slightly grayed out placeholder near each team name and/or logo.
The football/basketball will fill in the placeholder depending on which team has possession as it is entered into the All Sport.
