How to configure your Triton Player This training document is specifically designed to show you how to manage all of the settings needed to control the look, feel and functionality of your new Triton Digital streaming player. How to configure your station information It is from this screen that you will be able to manage and Edit the Station Name, description, format type, logo, and home page link. Each of these fields directly correspond to a specific element on the player. And you have 100% control over those elements. There are two fields on the Station Settings page that we want to take a second to explain in more detail. First, the Live Connection Time Out Setting. By default this is left empty so that anytime a player session is initiated, the listener s session will remain active as long as they keep the player open. However, if you were to set this to x number of minutes, say 60 minutes, that would force the player to pause the live audio once that listening threshold has been reached. The listener then would have to click play to confirm that they are in fact still active and listening. Essentially, this setting lets you control how long a listener can listen before they have to manually verify that they are still an active listener. Next is the Autostart option. By default this will be set to, yes. And for most people this is the setting that you want because if you change it to no the listener will have to manually press play in order to initially begin their listening session. For most clients the default settings will work perfectly. But we wanted to give you the option to control those settings should you have a specific need and reason to do so.
How to configure your station now playing data Once you are in the station s settings, click the + sign to the right of the Now Playing Information Link. This will expand the page and show the available Now Playing options that you can edit. There are really only 4 options in this section but they give you very powerful control over the Now Playing information. You can choose to display how many of the station s past songs the listener will be able to browse. Keep in mind that for each song listed, users will be able to access enhanced information like artist images, bios and other engaging content. You can also choose to show the album art on file for each song. And you can even upload a default image that will be displayed if by chance, the needed album is not on file. By setting the next option, Display Artist Pictures in Now Playing Background, to YES, you will enable your player to show various artist images as the player background. If you set the Display Artist Pictures as Background option to NO, then the player will load and display the Default Cover Image that you can upload in the next field. Keep in mind that if the Display Artist Pictures as background option is set to no, the default Cover Image, and only the default Cover Image will be displayed.
How to configure your player colors You can customize the look & feel to match your station logo, brand, and color schemes. Once you are in the station s settings, click the + sign to the right of the Player Colors Link. This will expand the page and show the editable color customization options. First, you can choose the specific Frame color. The defined Frame color will be used as the primary color for the Header and Footer sections of the player. Next, you can set the background color. This is the color that will be used if there is no default background image defined. The Highlight color is the color that listeners will see anytime they click a functional button on the player. Once that button is activated it will be highlighted with the color you define right here. To set any specific color, just click on the Color Picker icon. You can then choose to select a color from the Color Wheel, set the color using HSV or RGB designations, or, you can even define the color by its hexadecimal code. Any color can be easily set to match your station s branding! Last, you can choose the background image. This can be any image that you want it to be as long as it meets the needed file requirements. In our opinion, get creative with the image used as the background. Since the Triton Digital player uses Responsive Design Technology, the full background image will scale properly to the listener s screen and window size automatically! Giving you the ability to always have a clean, appealing, player look! It s important to note that the Background image will only display if the player is not using Enhanced Now Playing options. If the Enhanced Now Playing options have been enabled the background image will be replaced with artist specific images anytime they are available.
How to configure your custom links The Custom links section of the Triton Digital Player manager allow each and every station to have complete control of the various links that users can access on the player. You can define up to 5 different links that will display to listeners. Simply, enter the title and name of the link as you would like the audience to see it and define the web address that it should link to. The link URL or link to web address- can be any address!

It is completely up to you! Remember to click the Save Config button at the bottom of the screen.
