Steps

Create a new script button or edit an existing startup button.  For details, see: Show Control System: How do I create script buttons? .

  1. Create a new script line.

    1. DMP-8000 Player Control or DMP-7000 Player Control
    2. Choose the zone(s) to be blanked.
    3. Blank Display
    4. Select the transition. (available in version Show Control 2.12+ and DMP-8000 only; not available for DMP-7000)

Note: It is possible to create buttons that blank either just individual signs or zones, multiple zones, or all signs and all zones for a player type, i.e. all DMP-8000 signs and zones.  Or you can just blank an individual zone to make a graphic exit and blank from that zone. For example, you could have a button that pushes up a score bug graphic and a separate button the uses a push down exit transition to plan the score bug graphic during a replay.
