Schedule Builder
To make creating schedules more convenient, Alcorn McBride provides a free
Windows application for making schedules using a graphical interface. This program
is called Schedule Builder, and it can be downloaded from the software section the
Alcorn McBride website at http://www.alcorn.com.
Here is a step-by-step guide to get started making schedules with Schedule Builder.
1. Open the Schedule Builder application
2. Select the DVM8400 in the list of supported devices and click OK.
3. The Add/Edit Event window will appear automatically. This is where you select
the event you wish to insert into the schedule. Since “Play Clip” is the event used
to play a video, we will use it for this example.
4. Using the arrows in the ‘parameters’ box, you can select which type of Play
command you wish to use. For example, “By Number” would allow you to enter a
clip number. “By File” would allow you to enter the actual file name. If you are
using the compact flash card that shipped inside your DVMHD, select ‘By
Number’ and enter the number ‘1’ in the field.
5. Select the time and date you wish to execute the command in the Start
Date/Time section on the right side of this screen.
