Summary | 0001144: Slide show maker | ||||
Description | Hi,I just thought i should contact you and ask for a feature to DCP o Matic. Lets say to make this easy that there are only 6 company that are advertising and i need 12 minutes long slide show. Then it would be amazing if there where some kind of interface to manages this slide. For example: Dominos But in those placeholder i could add the actual jpeg slides 1920x1080 and each company placeholder could have more than on slide for that company. I know this slide show can easily be done already in DoM but it would be easier to manage this with some specific dcp slide show maker tool. I am doing this now with special digital signages system that i run from raspberry pi. I am using screenly today on raspberry pi, that works very well but i would rather like to use DCP slide show during intermission instead of changes the projector to another lens input. | ||||

Hmm. Honestly, from my perspective, this is way to special to be implemented on the mastering side of things. I would think of two ways to implement this - show the slides through external gear, like the Raspberry-PI, where it is much easier to deal with changes in the slide sequence. Should be very easy to do all the changes you want with simple scripting, adjusted to your specific needs. Or, if you absolutely want to got with DCPs, there should be an application that creates playlists for your specific server to handle the slide sequences. It is probably possible to do what you want with the command line Interface of DOM with some scripting as well.

Screenly is a great solution. And why changing format (lens) is a problem? It usually can be automated. If you have a manual lens you can create a format with a digital zoom, so the screenly input will show properly with the scope lens. I call it fauxFlat (fakeFlat for those of you outside Quebec). As Carsten proposes, I implemented a playlist based solution that it's still working. Pretty manual but well designed, not even a TMS involved, and the advertisement changes every week. There is a Mantis report with some ideas for slideshow optimisation. |
