Playlists
A Playlist is an ordered list of live and VoD content. Playlist are used for Digital
Signage and/or desktop display. Playlists allow you display content one-after-the-
other, and to control the starting and ending position of each item in the list.
Digital Signage
An unlimited number of dynamic, template-based Digital Signs may be created by
each user with Digital Signage privilege. A sign may include a playlist of live and VoD
content, images (including PowerPoint slides), web pages, or text. Sign templates
may include news feeds from RSS providers. Digital Signage may be displayed using a
web browser, a SignStick2 or Media Player (physical box), or using certain Samsung
Smart TV models and the free Discover Video Signage App (available from the
Samsung App Store), or an inexpensive Roku box. Note that Roku and Samsung
consumer devices may have important limitations.
Scheduling
DEVOS supports scheduling of server-side and local recording of live video. You may
schedule a live video to be recorded once, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. The
system will automatically start a running Streamsie PC, Hornet or Mantis at the
scheduled time. Scheduling is ideal to automatically record classroom lectures, live
TV programs, etc.
Scheduling of multi-view streaming and recording is also supported.
DEVOS also supports time-of-day scheduling of Digital Signage.
Documents
You can upload documents, such as PDF, DOC, PPT, PPTX, etc. to the DEVOS system.
Once uploaded, you can include documents with a video, thus allowing a viewer to
download additional materials.
Images
You can upload images to DEVOS. Once uploaded, you can use an image for any
video thumbnail icon, for a Channel icon, etc. You can also specify an image from a
URL (e.g. an image found from a web search), and DEVOS will automatically download
the image and add it to your image library. You can also upload PowerPoint and the
server will convert your PowerPoint presentations.
Podcasting
Video podcasting is supported for channels. Videos uploaded to DEVOS (not external
video links or YouTube videos) are automatically added to a channel podcast when
enabled. This allows viewers to subscribe to your video podcast and automatically
receive new videos ("episodes") when you add them to a channel. Video podcasting
