07 Group Editor

Overview

A Group button represents a collection of local media buttons that are combined together to send to Program. For instance: if the user wants to always show a certain sponsor bug with a video, then a Group Button that holds both the video media button and the sponsor bug can be created.

A Group can also be used to launch media on multiple local Players at the same time. This allows the user to set up a ‘Moment of Exclusivity’ where they can send specific content to all outputs at the same time to change the look of the venue.
