Introduction
Overview of Ziris Canvas on Playstation®3
Ziris Canvas is part of Sony’s Ziris Digital Signage
Network Solution adding support for multi-screen
presentation using Ziris View on Sony’s Playstation®3
(PS3).
Ziris View receives media content and associated control
files via an IP network originating from Ziris Create,
through Ziris Edge. These files are stored on the PS3’s
hard disk in preparation for playout to directly connected
display devices. The presentation and layout of the media
and the schedule of playout time(s) is specified by the
control files.
Ziris Canvas supports a range of media types including
Video (SD/HD), audio, text and graphics. It supports
portrait or landscape format for displays in addition to
multi-screen presentations which can be arranged to
produce custom layouts.
Ziris View requires an Ethernet or wireless network
connection between Ziris Manage and Ziris Edge,
enabling Ziris Manage to control and monitor the display
devices. In this way, the entire Ziris Digital Signage
Network may be managed from a single location.
