Content Studio: How do I configure a custom data profile in the Profile Editor

Follow the steps to configure the new profile in Content Studio.

Open the Profile Editor, located in the Utilities folder under the start menu and Daktronics folder.

1. Make sure Display Studio and Content Studio are closed on all Show Control computers.
2. Username and Password are automatically generated.

Add a new profile.

1. Click the GREEN + in the Profile: section if adding a new sport, then provide a name to the profile that is being configured and click OK.
2. If not adding a new sport and you would like to add the inputs as part of a different sport (i.e, DXTR with Major League Baseball) select the sport from the dropdown and go to step 3.
   
3. If the .did file needs to be added to the SCS computer, it can first be retrieved from dakfiles.daktronics/data/DID location. Place .did file in C:\Program Files\Daktronics\Display Studio\StandardProfile folder.

Manage the input and DID.

1. Click the GREEN + in the Manage DID Files section, and select the newly added .did file from step 3, then click Open.
2. If creating a new input, click the GREEN + in the Available Inputs section, and assign the name, number, etc of the input (typically similar to the name in step 2). Skip to step 5.
3. If editing an existing input, click the gear cogs in the Available Inputs section, and assign the name of the input (typically similar to the name in step 2). 
   
   • If using a DMP-8000, the DSRC File Name will need to match the .did file name, but will also require a .dsrc file match to work.  ***See Additional Notes section at bottom of page.
   • If using a DMP-7000, the Number value will need to match the RTD input value in Venus 7000.
   • If using a DMP-3000 (M3), the Offset may need to be adjusted in increments of 5000 (standard).

Pair the data source.

Clicking the GREEN + .in the Pair section, then select the Input setup from step 4.2 and the .did file from step 4.1 then click OK.

1. Click Save Changes at the bottom and confirm changes took.
2. Open Display Studio and Content Studio to make sure the changes have taken in the Dynamic Data Library.
