All items contained in a particular Play List are displayed on the same display or group of displays. By default, all new Play Lists are set up to be shown on all displays on your network, however, you can select the specific displays on which to show them. To select displays in the Display Network application, you actually select the Appliance associated with the display.

The procedure for selecting displays for Play List – video or ticker – is the same.
