PLAYLIST TRANSFER TOOL (-LT ONLY)
The 3040P Playlist Transfer Tool is an option for the 3040P-L-LT Playlist Playout
Controller that provides the ability to transfer a playlist from a computer into
the 3040P over a serial connection. The playlist may be transferred from a
computer into List 1, List 2, List 3, List 4, or List 5 on the 3040P.
Playlist transfer from a computer to the 3040P requires special software on the
3040P and a special software application for the computer called “3040P Playlist
Transfer Tool”. To verify that the 3040P supports playlist transfers, press the
MENU key to view the product model number in the upper right-hand corner of
the display. It should show “3040P-L-LT” as the model number.
The Windows based “3040P Playlist Transfer Tool” is available from DNF
Controls. Follow the installation instructions provided with this software.
All playlist transfers are initiated from the computer using the “3040P Playlist
Transfer Tool” connected to the 3040P over a serial connection. The 3040P will
accept a playlist from the computer only when all channels are stopped. If any
channel is playing out a list, the 3040P will NOT allow a playlist transfer.
Refer to the ”3040P Playlist Transfer Tool_TextFiles.pdf” document for
instructions to create a playlist using a text editor.
