The Nightlife Media player
The Nightlife Media player
is the core component of Nightlife Music’s
commercial music and video streaming service. It enables businesses
to play licensed music and video alongside promotions and digital
signage – creating a system of entertainment that can engage and
inform consumers.
System Overview
A plug-and-play design and pre-programmed music schedule means the
Media player
is easy to
install and will automatically begin playing music and video upon start-up.
Additional,
Nightlife-supplied devices
can expand the Media Player’s functionality, however
the use of these will depend on a business’ requirements and capabilities, existing AV and IT
infrastructure, as well as the need for
staff control
or
consumer interaction
.
Refer to the System Overview Diagram on the other page while reading the outline below
to understand how the Media Player can be installed and additional devices can be set up.
Using Audio and Video
The Media Player must be connected to
audio distribution
equipment. Optionally, it can also be
connected to
video distribution
equipment
where screens are available.
Establishing a Network and Internet Connection
The
Media player
should be connected to a
network with internet access
. This enables music
and video downloads, software updates, IT support and app control. A local network connection
ensures Nightlife’s apps and devices can control the Media Player, even if the internet connection
is unavailable or lost. These connections can be established using existing IT infrastructure, or a
Nightlife Router can be supplied to create a standalone network.
Controlling and Interacting with the Media player
Staff and consumers can control or interact with the Media Player via iOS, Android and Web apps,
or Nightlife-supplied devices.
The
Manage My Nightlife app
is for
staff control
of the Media Player, enabling users to change
tracks, queue music lists, take requests and more. The app can be downloaded to personal
devices or accessed via an on-site
Nightlife Tablet
(if supplied as part of an installation).
The crowdDJ
®
app is for
consumer interaction
with the Media Player, encouraging users to get
involved with the music experience by requesting songs and adding them to the playlist. The app
can be downloaded to personal devices, or accessed at a
crowdDJ
®
Kiosk
(if supplied as part of
an installation).
