In order to change the TAG logo on the mosaic output into a customized one, you will need the mcm_icons.rar file. Please contact the TAG VS support team at support@tagvs.com to have it shared with you (The mcm_icons package is for file name reference). The file contains the default icons used in the MCM-9000. 

  • Connect to your MCM-9000 with the FTP using your management IP address and use the following credentials :

Username: icons

Password: tagvs

  • Upload your JPG file into the FTP folder.

  • Using a JPG box type from the layout editor, you edit the box and put a URL as below:

logo01.jpg

  • If you want a spinning logo, you can use a sequence of JPGs as below:

logo[00..90].jpg

  • If you put several independent JPGs and want a slower replacement, you can use the "rate" option as follows:

logo[00..03].jpg;rate=5

where "rate" is a multiplier, so "1" is regular, and any number is slower.

  • You can also use the "update" option if hot updates need to be done:

logo.jpg;update=20

where the number represents the number of seconds between each reloads.

** The images can be updated via FTP or from the URL of the image in case of multiple MCMs in the group. For example, http://weather.local/radar/nc/raleigh.jpg;update=20

Note: The default Logo should have a size of 256x160 (WxH). However, the error and warning images on the tiles must be 128x128 (WxH).
