In practice
- Monitoring Interval also decides when the console calls a screen Disconnected: no completed check-in for interval + 1 minutes, so 11 minutes at the default of 10. See why a playing screen can show Disconnected.
- Daylight saving is added on top of the zone. Pick the city whose standard (winter) offset matches the site and turn DST on; picking the summer offset and DST as well puts the screen an hour ahead.
- Change MagicINFO Server URL while the display is awake. A display changed in standby can store the new address yet keep using the old server until it restarts.
