About the PDS Data Parser
The Polycom Digital Signage Data Parser allows administrators to acquire,
manage, and use live RSS feeds as a data source for the Polycom Digital
Signage Player output. With the Data Parser, administrators can publish feeds
from individual news outlets, topic-based searches, and specific geographies
to any audience.
While this chapter outlines the RSS use case for the PDS Data Parser, the Data
Parser can also ingest data from a wide variety of other sources. For
information on other use cases, please consult Appendix B: Data Parser on
page 171.

In order to use an external feed in the Polycom Digital Signage Player, a data
source must be created in the PDS Data Parser.
To create a data source:
1 Launch the Polycom Digital Signage Data Parser.
2 Open Tools > RSS Wizard.
