How To Display Digital Signage In A Lobby
DEVOS Digital Signage provides a simple and powerful way to display videos, images,
news and information around an organization. If your DEVOS is available on the
public Internet, your signs can be located anywhere the public Internet goes, but in
this example we will use an organization's Local Area Network. To create and display
a sign, follow these steps.
Login to DEVOS and navigate to Signage / Add Sign
Decide on a desired template for your sign. It could be images, videos, text, or
both. In this example, we will select template 5 that shows both video and
images.
Because signage requires video and image playlists, we must first create them.
Navigate to Manage Playlists then select Add New Playlist.
For Playlist Type, select Image
Give your new Image Playlist a meaningful name, like "Lobby Image List"
Select Upload and upload an image from your computer. It may be a
PowerPoint slide (saved as a .jpg) or any other image you desire. Repeat this
several times until you have a few images in the playlist. You may also select
any existing image from your Image Library.
Specify a duration, in seconds, for each image. Use the up and down arrows to
change the order of play. When done, select Save.
Create another playlist but select "Video" type.
Give your new Video Playlist a meaningful name, like "Lobby Video List"
Select a Video-on-Demand video from the list and select Add to add it to your
playlist. Do the same for live videos if desired.
Optionally, enter a start and end time if you want to specify the portion of the
video you wish to play.
Navigation selection does not apply to Signage display, and is used only for
desktop VoD.
Use the up and down arrows to change the order of videos in your new
playlist.
When done, select Save.
Navigate to Signage / Add Sign, and select the 5th template (the one with
video and images.
Enter a name for your sign (for your reference) and a Title (the title is displayed
in the sign.
