## Notes:
      Creating a shadow file:
      A typical shadow file must be named the exactly the same as the media file
      playing with the extension changed to .SHD. Thus if you have a spot named
      TestVideo.mpg the corresponding shadow file would be named TestVideo.SHD. The
      files can be created with any text editor and uploaded via FTP to the unit.

      The contents of the shadow file contain lines with two things. First is the
      STC Value giving the time the command should be run followed by the properly
      formatted API command(s) separated by '|' (pipes). There are typically 90,000
      STC ticks per each second of video. If the desired commands should run at the
      beginning and end of a spot then one can calculate the STC value for the end of
      the spot by multiplying the duration of the spot in seconds by 90,000.

      An example shadow file which will load an OSD at the beginning of a 60 second
      spot and unload it at the end would look similar to:

      1       OSD L image.png | OSD D 0 0 0
      5400000 OSD OFF
