How to decrease the time the display is blank when publishing content to a Venus 1500 version 4 controlled display?

Potential Symptoms

Decrease the time the display is blank when publishing content to a Venus 1500 version 4 controlled display

Environment

Venus 1500 (v4)

Resolution

  • When publishing content to a display, the display will be blank until all data is finished being sent.
  • After publishing content you receive the following Overwrite Messages window that states: Presentations that are scheduled to run will be automatically sent with the schedule.  Do you wish to overwrite presentations that may already exist on the destination display(s)?
  • By selecting "No" the software will ONLY publish content & schedules that are new, edited or removed from the presentation. This will cause the display to blank for a shorter period of time due to it only sending changes rather then all messages & schedules.
  • By selecting "Yes" the software will republish ALL messages & schedule changes no matter what. This can cause the display to blank for long periods of time because it is resending messages and schedules that already exists out on the display.
