Environment

  • DXTR
  • Pointstreak 50/50
  • Bump 50/50

Resolution

  • The recommended solution would be to implement DXTR with internet access to the source XML/RSS Feed.
    • There would be a standard charge for DXTR and the 50/50 Map File.
  • When interfacing with PointStreak's 50/50 or Bump 50/50, it is the recommendation from Daktronics Data Product Management group that XML and File RTD such as (and not limited to) the use of DropBox be prohibited.  This is because:
  1. This could introduce security risks including putting the security of the system(s) in risk of hacking.  (I.E. Dropbox has already been hacked)
  2. This could introduce performance risks because updating a file every couple of seconds increases network traffic resulting in a slower performance of all networked Daktronics equipment.
  3. Multiple sources accessing the same file can cause partial (not full) information to be transmitted.
  4. Some Daktronics players are not File RTD compatible.
