Remote HTTP Events

This is the screen where the triggered content will be displayed.

A. Configure the NoviSign App:

1. Install the NoviSign APK on the Android TV.

2. Open the app and click the gear icon (top-right corner) to access Settings.

3. Scroll down to the “Advanced” section:

   • Enable “External Interfaces”.

   • Enable “RF ID Reader” (this allows the device to receive keyboard-like triggers).

4. Scroll to the “API Server” section:

   • Turn on “Connection Parameters“ to allow HTTP events.

5. Note down the Device’s IP Address and Port displayed in the settings. (Use the first IP if two are shown.)

6. Exit the NoviSign app and go to Android network settings:

   • Assign a static IP address using the IP you noted earlier.

7. Return to the NoviSign app:

   • On the welcome screen, check “Start automatically…” (auto-launches after reboot).

   • Login to your Studio account (top-right corner).

   • Click the magnifying glass icon, choose your screen, and press Go to start downloading content.

8. After the content starts playing, right-click to stop playback.

9. Back in Settings (gear icon), turn off “Display Notifications” under the “Display” section.

10. Press Go again to restart playback. At this point, your screen is ready, but actual content will be added next.

1. Create a playlist with:

   • One or more regular creatives to loop normally.

   • One or more creatives that will only show when triggered by an event.

2. For each event-triggered creative:

   • In the playlist editor, click the calendar/schedule icon of that creative.

   • Check the “Events” checkbox.

   • Select the event from the list.

     Can’t find the event? Contact support to assign it to your account.

   • Also check “Play only on events”.

   • Click OK and then Update to save.

3. Go to the Screens tab and assign this playlist to the receiving device.

   • Within 2 minutes, the screen should update.

This is the touchscreen device that will act as your remote control.

1. Create a creative that includes one or more “button” elements (image, text, video, or label).

2. Add the element and open its properties.

3. Expand the “Touch” section and choose the action “Send event to player”.

4. Fill in:

   • Player IP: Enter the local IP of the receiving device.

   • Player Port: Enter the port number you noted earlier.

   • Event: Choose the same event you assigned to the creative on the receiving unit.

     Using a different Studio account? Ask support to assign the same event to your account.

5. You can repeat this step to add multiple buttons, each triggering a different event (and therefore a different creative on the other screen).

6. Add this creative to a playlist and assign it to the sending unit.

   • Within 2 minutes, content should be updated on the touchscreen.
