3. PROXY STORAGE
Proxy storage is an option that can, but does not have to be used. This option allows D.Play to work in local mode with assets which are located on some external storage. If this option is on, D.Play will use internal SSD disk for storing assets from the rundown playlist and broadcast them directly from the local disk. The speed of transferring assets from external storage is limited, so it does not affect computer resource usage on the PC which broadcasts the program. If D.Play didn’t have the time to transfer asset that is next on program to a local SSD disk, that asset will be broadcasted directly from its original location on external storage.
