Mechanics of Slide Scheduling
In order to allow each slide to rotate through 15 times in an hour, schedule no more than 30 PIN slides to run at any one time.
Schedule all slides with start and end dates.
The PIN slide media player does not randomize the slide display order.
The Content Administrators must manually set the preferred order of the slides when posting them to the player.
Format and Backup Storage of Slides
Submit slides to the Content Administrators as a PowerPoint.
Content Administrators will verify correct image ratio and correct any image display issues.
Optimal slide display duration is 8 seconds. Word count should be limited to reflect the 8 second per slide display.
The Content Administrator will save the slide as a PNG and load it to the appropriate playlist.
Wide format 16:9 fills the screens
Troubleshooting
The Office of Information Technology maintains the server for all the Library’s Visix media players.
The contact person for problems with the media players or the displays is Lora Amsberryaugier (lamsberr@uno.edu).
Policy Review
The Content Administrators will review this policy annually in the summer.
The Content Administrators will solicit comments from library faculty and staff.
