Overview

Among the most important features for your digital signage account, is the Devices 360 feature. It allows users to control all aspects of their devices directly from the NoviSign studio. It gives users the ability to remotely monitor and manage their devices. As a result, you will have a better understanding of your devices and can take corrective action as necessary.

Screen content

“Screen Content” is where you create the content that will be played and broadcast to your devices. You can still do everything you could do in the previous Screens tab, but here you will have more options available. 

Once you have created your screen content and playlists, you will be able to manage and schedule them for broadcasting across your devices.

The main feature that has been added is the ability to see which one of your devices is playing which Screen content. Not only will that, you can also assign and change the Screens instantly from the studio.

Manage screen’s content 

The Screen content tab allows you to manage, schedule and organize all of your playlists in one place; that will then broadcast to your players.

In the content of the new screens you can assign Creatives to specific players directly from the online Studio CMS.

Devices

We have added a new feature to better monitor and manage the devices. A user is able to view device status, change settings remotely, check for updates and player versions, as well as determine if there is a connection problem with the device.

Updates to the Devices include:

  • Last seen device and ping status/connection status
  • OS version and players version
  • Content playing and status of download
  • IP address
  • Action needed notification for updating the app version
  • HDMI connection issue notification
