Processor Limitations
The NTB100 series has a limited processing power budget.
-
Display of MPEG Video at reasonable (up to 10 Mbps) rates is no problem, as this will typically use less than half the processing power budget.
-
Images, especially digital photos, should be resized before uploading onto the NTB - idealy so that they match the size of the zone.
-
Scrolling Text and Stills use relatively little processing time provided they do not take up more then 30% of the screen area.
-
Animations (typically in Flash or HTML with embedded JavaScript) have no upper limit to their processing requirements and can overwhelm the NTBs processing resources.
If this occurs, the Animation will typically run slow but other Zones will continue as normal.
The NTB3000 series has a more powerful processor and the above limitations do not apply.
