Content Update

Network: ViewStream media-players supporting a network connection for content update, for example the VS-500 and VS-700 models, can be updated via a user's FTP server or directly over a LAN network. DV Studio Play also supports writing to Dropbox (ViewStream VS-500 and VS-700 support content update via Dropbox).

USB Memory Stick: All ViewStream media-players support update via USB memory stick. Ideal for stand-alone (non-networked) media-players like the VS-300.

Converting Media Files

DV-Studio Play & DV Media Converter : A integrated media converter is built into DV-Studio Play to optimize media for the selected media-player, this is part of the Deploy workflow. DV-Media Converter is a small application specifically for media conversion to match a particular DV Signage media player.

FAQ: Network Update

What is the difference between the two network content update (Deploy) options: Player and FTP Server?

Player: Intended for use over a Local Area Network (LAN) where DV-Studio can detect the ViewStream media players on the same LAN. Using this update method files can be written direct to the ViewStream media player (see ViewStream manual for details).

FTP Server: For users with an available FTP server DV-Studio can upload content to a specified folder on the FTP server. ViewStream 500 and 700 series media-players can be configured to connect to the FTP server and download new content or files (uses DVSYNC, see ViewStream manual for details).
