Additional Device Settings

NTP Server​

The NTP Server button allows input of a custom NTP server address. This option is useful for setups with a dedicated NTP server, rather than using the one provided by the DHCP server.

Layer 1 Direct Mode​

Layer 1 Direct Mode is designed to enhance device performance by restricting playback to the first layer only. This mode disables all Play Page settings, including playlists and timecode lists. Instead, media will be played directly from the Media Page of the device.

Clock Correction​

Clock Correction ensures that frame numbers are selected sequentially. When enabled, it detects gaps or repeated frame numbers and smooths them out for more consistent playback.

Shared MIDI​

The Shared MIDI function ensures that MIDI signals are sent and received by devices configured for this communication.

  • Disabled:
    The device will not receive any MIDI communications.
  • Send:
    The Hive player will send MIDI commands to other Hive players on the network.
  • Receive:
    The Hive player will receive MIDI commands from other Hive players on the network.

OS Background Image​

The OS Background Image feature allows setting a custom background image for the device. This image will be displayed only during the booting process.

Start-up Data​

The Start-up Data feature allows configuration of a command to execute when the Hive player boots from power. This can be set in several different modes:

  • Startup data + number of seconds
  • Testcard + Startup data + number of seconds
  • Off

The startup data displays an identification banner at the top of the Hive output, showing key information about the device.

Service Interval​

The Service Interval feature allows setting a time interval for automatically restarting the Hive player. The restart can be scheduled either daily or weekly, depending on the desired maintenance routine.

Beehive Settings​

The Beehive Settings button provides a list of all configurable attributes for the Hive player when it is inserted into a Beehive.

Device Commands​

The Device Commands dropdown provides various options to control the Hive player, such as restarting the software, checking logs, or resetting the device.
