Presentations with Internet Connectivity:

The first demo under Corporate is a C orporate ViaDirect Wayfinder demo which plays highly sophisticated HTML content that is hosted online and requires the XT player to have an active Internet connection in order to load and play the presentation.
For the Retail Social Media Demo , this presentation will default to playing social media content locally stored on the player. If you prefer to show live social media content and have an active Internet connection to the player, tap the LIVE button. Tapping the LOCAL button will return to playing content locally stored on the micro SD card.
Both the Corporate Caterpillar and Healthcare Sutter Health presentations have some content elements that require an Internet connection in order to view them. If you do not have an active Internet connection to the XT player, the presentation will still playback, but you will see empty locations where live content feeds are not populating.
