Afternoon.

I just wondered has anyone got a feed from Tessitura to Public Digital Signage Screens or Kiosks as of yet? If so, what information have you managed to pull and then how does it display? How long did it take to implament etc.

    Hi David,

    We're using a product called Scala InfoChannel 3, which uses a VBSCript which hits an internal website generated by the API, grabs show information, and returns it as variables back into Scala.  It works really well.

    I think we're dark today, but here's a snippit of the XML that's returned by the API:

    <Theatre_A_Name>Marilyn and Charles Baillie Theatre</Theatre_A_Name>
    <Theatre_A_Production_Company>
            </Theatre_A_Production_Company>
    <Theatre_A_Play_Name>[dark today]</Theatre_A_Play_Name>
    <Theatre_A_Author>
            </Theatre_A_Author>
    <Theatre_A_StartTime_1>
            </Theatre_A_StartTime_1>
    <Theatre_A_StartTime_2>
            </Theatre_A_StartTime_2>
    <Theatre_A_Alert_Message>
            </Theatre_A_Alert_Message>
    <Theatre_A_Custom_Message_1>
            </Theatre_A_Custom_Message_1>
    <Theatre_A_Custom_Message_2>
            </Theatre_A_Custom_Message_2>
    <Theatre_A_Sponsor_Text>
            </Theatre_A_Sponsor_Text>
    <Theatre_A_Sponsor_Image_URL>http://192.168.55.16/UploadedImages/</Theatre_A_Sponsor_Image_URL>
