Your TMS software may have an option to program the schedule so it starts at a point prior to the beginning of the play list. For example, ours is programmed so it starts with the trailers. So when we program the show for 7:00pm, it automatically schedules the play list to start the ads at 6:40pm so the trailers hit the screen at 7:00pm. When we first went digital, we used a Popcorn Hour box (media tank) via HDMI to run our pre-show. We basically had to program dummy shows which would turn on the lamp, switch formats, open the dowser, and so forth.  |  IP: Logged Annli Com Expert Film Handler Posts: 140 From: ShibuPaul-India Registered: May 2014 posted 09-08-2014 11:04 PM                        Thanks You My Film God Mr Justin Hamaker Your idea is working perfectly and excelent, vista 10 am show schedule in 9:57 at server !!! one again thank you for your Great idea By Annlicom  |  IP: Logged Annli Com Expert Film Handler Posts: 140 From: ShibuPaul-India Registered: May 2014 posted 09-09-2014 04:14 AM                        I Creat 3 min welcome slide in Transitional Category and ad to first slide in play list with douser open cues, the vista 10 am Show load in server before 6 min ( 09:54)and play after 3 min( 09:57) with open douser and feature start in correct vista time 10:am.
