DL-2 preview

Hi,
just wondering is it possible to preview content on a DL-2 and if so how you would do that.
just to clarify if i wanted to preview content in a show situation so i know what the next image/video etc would be.
I have read the other post's and understand that you can preview the camera,and you can use the onboard LCD screen to preview the thumbnail's of content and you can also see content in the CMA application but i'm talking about about "on the fly" situation where if for instance an LD asked to have a look at the next cue before it became active.

Hope this makes sense

    "it isn't uncommon for a client or show caller to want to see a slide/image before the cue is executed"

    Absolutely true. And I think it's one of the more difficult things to deal with as a programmer sometimes. I've been in this situation myself, and it can be very challenging, technically.

    So, how you would actually program this would probably depend quite a bit on your programming style.

    I would emphasize that an Axon is the best way to go when using DL.2s, as the stock content on these boxes are identical (everywhere in the world! - how cool!) and they are programmed in exactly the same ways.

    It also means that content management is a snap, since the CMA sees the Axons and DL.2s in exactly the same way. So if you do pre-pro with your Axon at home, wearing your pajamas, your robe, and your Grommit house-slippers, in your bathroom...err...if you load a bunch of extra custom content on and program with that, the CMA can auto-magically replicate all of that to your DL.2s on-site. How cool!

    Did I answer the pertinent stuff?
