How to Assign a Player Channel or the
Software Player

From the Channel Explorer

Users can assign a player channel to a Playlist Panel from the Channel Explorer.

This can be done in the following way:

Drag a player channel from the Channel Explorer window and drop it on the Playlist
Panel (in the Channel Media and Transport Functions pane).

The name of the selected player is displayed in the Player field.

When a channel is assigned to an application, the Player icon in the Channel Explorer

window changes from

From the Player Field

Users can select a player from the Player field.

This can be:

a player channel from an EVS video server

the workstation channel, this means the player channel set as linked from the
IPDirector Configuration window of the Remote Installer

the Software Player, if the workstation has a valid license for the OCX Software
Player.

Note
You can only open one instance of the Software Player at a time in IPDirector. If
an instance of the Software Player is already open in a Control Panel, an error
message prevents you from opening the Software Player.
