Polycom Digital Signage Administrator Guide Configuring the Player Directly
6 Polycom, Inc.
If using RDP to access a Player, you will not be prompted to enter login
credentials. Please note, however, that to reboot a PDS Player using RDP you
will need to enter A
LT + F4. This will launch a shut down dialog, from which
you must select Restart.
Configuring the Player Directly
After a Player has been set up, connected to an output, and connected to the
network via the Polycom Digital Signage Agent, administrators can configure
the Player for their particular implementation. The following sections outline
the various configuration possibilities. Please note that the following process
applies for all configuration changes:
1 Launch the PDS Player from the desktop, if it is not already running.
2 Stop Player output by hitting A
LT + ESC, if necessary.
3 Navigate to Tools > Settings. The Settings window will appear.
4 Choose which tab in the Settings window you wish to edit. The specifics
of each tab are detailed below.
5 When configuration has been completed, click Apply and then OK.
6 Reload the Playlist in the Player.
Configuring PDS Player Video Settings
PDS Player Video Settings is divided into two sections: Output Window and
Capture Settings.
Settings defined in Output Window let you configure the properties of the
PDS Player output window on the Player output display.
Settings defined in Capture Settings let you configure how the PDS Player
communicates with 3rd-party capture devices.
NOTE: Accessing the Player via RDP locks the Player output. As a result, RDP is
not a recommended tool for routine player management. If you wish to make
content and configuration changes while the Player is running, use the Polycom
Remote Manager and Polycom Web Controller.
