In deployments with large numbers of TVs, often it is important that all TVs are turned off for special events or to conserve energy. The TV Off application allows an operator or administrator to control the power to all TVs within one or more zones, or across the entire venue.
The Turn TVs Off provides the following features and benefits:
■Administrators can define which TVs (which zones) are to be controlled by the Turn TVs Off application.
■A non-IT person, for example the security guard, can access the portal to turn off the TVs (as defined by the administrator).
■Only authorized users can access the Turn TVs Off application.
■Administrators can exclude select TVs, for example those in the back offices, from being controlled by the Turn TVs Off application.
■Email notifications can be sent to a configurable list of email addresses whenever the portal is used to turn TVs off.
When the Turn TVs Off command is clicked:
■Commands to turn the TVs off are sent to the DMPs attached to all TVs in the configured zones.
■An email notification is sent to a pre-defined set of users.
■The change in TV status is logged in to Cisco Vision Director.
Note : The TVs must be connected to the DMPs and be configured in Dynamic Signage Director to control TV power.

Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director uses Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to control which functions are accessible by whom. For the Turn TVs Off application:
■The Administrator has access to the TV Control Configuration page, which allows the Administrator to configure which zones are controlled by the Turn TVs Off application. The Administrator can also access the TV Control Button page.
■The Event and Facility Operators have access to the TV Control Button page, allowing them to turn off the TVs in the configured zones.
The Event and Facility Operator roles are not configured by default. To provide access to these roles, the Administrator must create users assigned to them. For more information, see the Release 6.3: Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director Operations Guide.
