CountdownUsageExample

Typicallywhenyouuseacountdownyouwantthetimertoapp earintermittentlyuntilyougetnearthecountdown,

when the countdown should be shown exclusively. This effect is achieved using two countdown messages, both

configured with thesame countdowntime. For example, if youwishto set

 acountdown to finish at 17:00for the

launchofanewproductyouwouldcarryoutthefollowingsteps:

1. Addashortduration(15or30secondcountdownmessage)tothe16x9Playlistwiththetimersetfor17:00.

Thisplaylistisconfiguredtoloopbydefaultso

thismessagewillappearperiodicallyfor15/30seconds

showingthecountdowninprogress.Othermessageswillbeshowntherestofthetime.

2. Addaneditablecountdowndurationmessagewithdurationofonehour.Againthecountdowntimershould

besetfor17:00

3. Usevalidityrulestomakethe

shortcountdownmessageinvalid50m inutesbeforethecountdownends.

Maketheonehourdurationmessagevalidfromthis timesothatitreplacestheshortmessageonscreen.

Thismessagewillnowbeshownforapproximatelythefinal50minutesofthecountdownandfor10

minutesafterthe

countdownhasfinished.Toensurethecountdownmessageisnotplayedagainthe

followingday,usevalidityrulestomakethismessageinvalidwhenitends(i.e.at17:10)
