Equipment List
Introduction
The Nightlife Media Player automatically plays pre-programmed music and visuals for each designated
location on board. All Nightlife music systems are designed to work “out of the box” and this includes any
additional Nightlife equipment (for example Turntablet® or crowdDJ® Kiosks) that is provided with each
music system depending on the location/zone. All equipment just needs to be plugged in, connected correctly,
and turned on. There is no programming or further conguration required. So please follow the installation
and commissioning guides, and everything will just work.
