Introduction

• Fusion mode is an Operating mode where the player uses a self-contained browser-based content manager interface.
• This mode is distinct from others in that HMD (or another WebDAV client) is no longer used to publish content.
  • Although you cannot publish projects to a device that has Fusion enabled, you can upload projects created in HMD into Fusion (see Uploading Hypermedia projects in Fusion).
• To use external storage with Fusion, you must first disable Fusion, then follow the steps described on External storage page and then re-enable Fusion.

Enabling Fusion mode

• To enable Fusion mode, click the Enable button from the Fusion page in Control Center.
• Enabling Fusion mode will erase the current content from your device and replace it with the default Fusion content, until you make the first Fusion content active.
• When Fusion mode is enabled, the device is not longer available for publishing via WebDAV (this includes HMD).
• You can disable Fusion mode any time on the Fusion page in Control Center, after which time you will be able to publish to the device again.
• Content will be cleared with each switch on or off of Fusion, but Fusion username and password data will be preserved.
  • This does not affect Security settings in Control Center.

Fusion Limitations

• Fusion is designed for standalone or small deployments. Therefore, certain advanced features are not supported, including:
  • Synchronized content (including multiscreen content);
  • Pull mode (you can still use partial pull mode to pull content into the "publish" sub-folder - see Pull Mode and Fusion for more details).
• Some files are not supported and therefore cannot be imported into Fusion - see Upload content into Fusion for more details.
• Fusion mode is not compatible with USB storage mode (where a project is published in advance to a USB drive for playback without a network), you can only use an USB storage as external storage.

Browser support

These browsers have been tested as compatible with Fusion:

• Firefox 3 and later;
• Chrome 10 and later;
• Opera 10 and later;
• Safari 5 and later;
  • When using an iPad or iPhone, the Add media file button is not available. Safari on iOS does not support file uploading, that is, <input type="file"> elements. If your webpage includes an input-file control, Safari on iOS disables it. See http://developer.apple.com for more details.
• Internet Explorer 8 and 9;
• IE 7 limited support:
  • Uploading media gives an error "undefined", but otherwise works as expected;
  • Drag and drop in programs or playlists does not show the highlighted anchor to 'drop' in, but the function otherwise works as expected;
  • Schedule layout is rendered slightly incorrectly;
  • Advanced slides do not show tabs properly;
  • Advanced slide pages can be added from within a slide only;
• IE 6 is not supported;
