Content Manager Specifications

Scalable

The Content Manager can be scaled up to support up to thousands of players at the same time. Designed for edge server support, bandwidth can be effectively managed for efficient use and download timing can be minimized for large scale deployments.

Supports edge server; reduces bandwidth demands & supports large scale deployments

Multi Screen support; manage up to 16 screens and 16 media zones

Content Manager can create up to 16 media zones and support up to 16 screens; content flexibility for image, flash and many multimedia file formats; files can be stretched across multiple screens or played on a single screen. Ideal for high-definition advertising applications.

Customizable

The Content Manager is customizable and extendable for unique applications to fulfill various business needs. The SDK (software development kit) 3.2 offers clients the option to customize functions and user interfaces, and also to integrate third-party applications. Content Manager has been customized for many world-class clients to enhance customer service and brand image.

Define default playlist & wallpaper; convenient scheduling & branding

WCM3.2 allows a user to set a default playlist for the whole network or for a specific group of signage appliances. This function simplifies the work flow for applications that require simple playlists to playback repeatedly. Setting up wallpaper for a network can ensure a specific image or brand logo is displayed when no content is scheduled.

Translucent Logo

Users can add a translucent logo to overlay scheduled content for consistent branding.

Software Development Kit

Media Control Interface:

Allows a developer to specify media content to be played back in any zone within Content Manager.
Also allows the control of selected video content (play, stop, fast forward, etc.)

UrgentCAST Interface:

Intended for developers who want to integrate third party applications with the UrgentCAST feature.
School and corporate departments can broadcast Emergency messages instantly and simultaneously using the UrgentCAST feature.

Usability

With an intuitive navigation interface, Content Manager provides easy to use tools, with straightforward operation requiring minimal training. Support for a wide variety of common media files or native content such as Powerpoint, urls, htmls, flash, mpegs, Java, and Silverlight, adds to the ease of content deployment.

Combined content & device functions with one software program; detailed, yet intuitive to navigate

The Content Manager can remotely watch each Signage Appliance status, capture a snap shot, and show detailed information about the signage appliances. Instead of installing other software or extra plugins, the Content Manager already incorporates all remote management functions.

Ticker flexibility; re-size & move to any location

The Content Manager offers flexibility for ticker function, including multiple tickers, ticker zone location, size and font style, adjustable ticker background and font color, adjustable ticker direction (left to right or right to left; roll up or roll down), reading habits and ticker scrolling speed.

Combolist; efficiently schedule repeated multiple playlists at one time

Spot List; insert a playlist on top of scheduled content

With the Spot List function, users can keep scheduled content and simply insert new playlists on top of the already scheduled playlists to avoid re-arranging all playlists and schedules.

Green

With remotely managed device power timing (scheduled power on/ off), remote updating and software upgrades, the Content Manager enables energy savings in terms of power consumption and staff time and travel. The line of signage appliances also offers fanless and low power consumption design for green, energy efficient operations.

Set startup & shutdown time; save energy with automatic timing

The Power Management function allows users to set start up and shut down time for each group of appliances. For example, a group of signage appliances can be scheduled to shut down at 10PM and powered on at 8AM. There is no need for COM port or other device management software, the Content Manager provides a straightforward interface to manage power timing and save energy.

Software upgrade program for easy updates or upgrades, including patch file, OS & BIOS

The Software Upgrades menu allows you to update OS/ BIOS or apply new Content manager patches to edge servers or signage appliances from the source Content manager server. Patches/ OS/ BIOS updates can be applied to a single appliance or multiple appliances (edge servers) simultaneously.

Define specific download time range; avoid bandwidth issues

In System Settings page, users can define a specific downloading time range, for example, scheduled playlists will only be downloaded between 12AM - 6AM. This function is very useful to avoid heavy content transmission during peak network usage time.

Urgent Messages

Time-sensitive messages can be scheduled or immediately sent out to all digital signs in a network to either override content or completely interrupt scheduled content. Weather warnings or evacuation announcements can be displayed on a specific group of displays or all displays within a network, including the option to extend these messages to all computers within a network.

UrgentCAST; supports multimedia & audio files, can be pre-loaded for recurring or anticipated announcements

An urgent message can be created to include text, audio and even multimedia files for time-sensitive messages, especially for schools, hospitals and corporate security. Preload urgent messages for recurring critical events to save downloading time.
