Introduction
A Multiple Display Control (MDC) is an application allowing various displays to be easily and simultaneously
operated on a PC. RS-232C, a standard of serial communication, is used for the communication between a PC and
a display. Therefore, a serial cable should be connected between the serial port on a PC and the serial port on a
display.

Troubleshooting
1.
The display you wish to control does not appear on the Power Control Info Grid
- Check the connection of RS232C. (Check if it is properly connected to the Com1 port)
Page 57
- Check the displays to see if any of the other displays connected have the same ID. If more than one displays have
the same ID, those displays are not properly detected by the program due to data conflict.
- Check if the Display Set ID is a number between 0 and 25. (Adjust using the Display menu)
Note : A Display Set ID must be a value between 0 and 25 .
2. The display you wish to control does not appear on the other Control Info Grids
- Check to see if the display power is ON. (You can check this in Power Control Info Grid)
- Check if you can change the input source of the display.
3. The dialogue box appears repeatedly.
- Check to see if the display you wish to control is selected.
4. Both On Timer and Off Timer have been set but different time is showing.
- Apply current time to synchronize the display clocks.
5. The remote may not function properly when you turn off the remote Function, disconnect the RS-232C cable, or exit
the program in an Irregular manner. Rerun the program and turn the remote function again to Restore normal
functions.

What is MagicInfo Pro?
MagicInfo Pro uses an Ethernet network for servers and monitors, and transfers media files (image
files, music files, and movies) and office files (HTML, PDF) from the server to the monitors over the
network. Multiple monitors are connected to a server via a network and the server can transfer files to
all the monitors at the same time or a single file to a single monitor. There are two ways to transfer
files. The first is that the server registers a schedule to the monitors and then transfers files following
that schedule. The second is that a monitor searches for the files registered in the library list of the
server and receives and plays them. If more than one server is connected, the monitor can select a
server and can receive a schedule from it. The monitor has a built-in Internet connection function. The
servers and monitors are connected to the network. Each server or monitor has a unique name to
identify itself on the network. A server and a monitor can only be connected if they have the same
server name. For example, if the name of a server is 'MagicInfo Pro', only the monitors whose server
name is 'MagicInfo Pro' can receive schedules from it. If a monitor cannot find a server whose name is
the same as the server name configured in it, it waits until a server with that name appears.
However, if Auto Connection is enabled, the monitor attempts to connect to other servers and
connects to the first server that responds.
Major Functions of MagicInfo Pro
1. Free Screen Design
→ You can configure the screens to be displayed on the monitor by placing and playing multiple areas
on them feely and changing the area properties.
2. Content Downloading or Streaming
→ You can select Stream or Download for the transfer mode to play content on the screens and thus
play the screens according to your circumstances. The downloaded screens are played on the monitors
at the scheduled time even though the monitors are not connected to the server.
3. Library Media File Management and Content Server
→ You can manage the registered content in the library efficiently by creating folders. You can play the
content on the screens according to your circumstances by operating the content server in accordance
with the network status.
4. Network/Local Schedules and Publishing
→ You can transfer the edited screens to selected monitors by using the publishing feature. You can
also transfer screens to the monitors which are not connected to the network by using the local
Page 59
schedules.
5. Instants message
→ You can display a message on selected monitors regardless of schedules.
6. MDC and System
→ The MDC and System functions allow you to control, view the status of, and diagnose monitors.
7. VNC
→ The VNC function allows you to connect to a monitor remotely and view the status of and control
and diagnose it.
8. Update and PXE
→ The Update function allows you to easily update the programs on the monitor. The PXE allows you
to recover the operating system image for a monitor.
