The next step in the clip data configuration determines how the clip will display in the event the parking's data is no longer available. There are two configurations that must be completed in this regard.

  • Expected refresh rate
  • When unavailable

Expected refresh rate

When this check box is activated, you must specify the expected refresh rate for the selected parking's data. For instance, if you know that the parking's data is produced every hour, you must enter 1 hour in the appropriate field. In the event that the paking's data is not updated every hour, the behavior configured in the following field will be applied.

Note: It is also possible to configure the expected refresh rate for each parking individually in the parking management. In the event that the clip displays several parkings, you must take into consideration that the expected refresh rate configured in the clip will be applied to all of them. If this configuration needs to be different for each parking, you will have to enter these in the parking management rather than in the clip.

When unavailable

If the expected refresh rate is not respected, there are three actions that can be taken for the clip.

  • Play last downloaded content
  • Skip the clip
  • Replace content with image

Play last downloaded content

With the " Play last downloaded content" configuration the last information received by the display will continue to be displayed.


Skip the clip

As soon as the data is no longer available according to the expected refresh rate, the display will automatically skip to the next clip until the data is updated once more.


Replace content with image

This configuration allows you to select an image that will be used to replace the parking data until the data is updated once more.
