These properties control how an element switches between items in its playlist during playback.

​
Play Entire Play List

  • If disabled:
    Only the first playlist item will be played.
  • If enabled:
    All items in the playlist will be played based on one of the following methods:

​
Playback Methods (when “Play Entire Play List” is enabled)

  1. Play using Play List Durations:
    Each playlist item will play for the duration defined within the playlist itself.
  2. Play using Page Alternate Interval:
    All playlist items will play for the same fixed duration, as specified in the Alternate Interval of the Page Properties.     Important Note:
    • When this option is used, multiple elements using it will synchronize their playlist switching.
    • If elements have a different number of playlist items, the system will calculate which item should display at each time point, so they remain aligned.

​
Example of Synchronization

Consider two elements with different playlist lengths:
Element 1 (4 items)Element 2 (2 items)
Playlist item 1Playlist item 1
Playlist item 2Playlist item 2
Playlist item 3Playlist item 1
Playlist item 4Playlist item 2
Playlist item 1Playlist item 1
Playlist item 2Playlist item 2
In this example:
  • Playlist item 1 of both elements will always be shown at the same time.
  • The system automatically aligns cycles, even with different list lengths.

​
Synchronized Playback Across Viewers

When Play using Page Alternate Interval is active, the alternation of playlist items is synchronized across all Viewers (screens/players).
  • This ensures simultaneous alternation on all connected displays.
  • Make sure system synchronization settings are properly configured to support this behavior.

​
Summary

  • Play Entire Play List: Enables cycling through all playlist items.
  • Choose between individual item durations or a uniform alternate interval.
  • Synchronization keeps multiple elements and devices in sync.
  • Helpful for coordinated content display across multiple areas or screens.
