Pre-configuring Screen Settings

Save frequently used screen settings and easily apply them to a wide range of display devices, such as signage devices (including indoor/outdoor LED signage devices), hotel TVs, and Windows devices. These settings are referred to as screen presets.
Screen presets can be used to apply identical settings across a number of screens.

  • This feature may not be supported, depending on the rate plan in use.

  • This feature is supported on signage, business TV, and flip screens only.

  • Available setting items may differ between screens.

  • This feature may not be available, depending on user privileges.

Screen Preset Elements

A screen preset consists of the following three main components, each of which serves a different purpose.

Screen Profile

This item is used to pre-configure overall screen settings. It allows users to easily configure initial settings for a variety of displays, such as signage devices and hotel TVs. Screen profiles are useful when applying the same settings across a number of displays.

Main setting items
  • Basic settings: Auto power-off, display orientation, remote configuration, etc.

  • Security settings: Bluetooth lock, USB lock, Wi-Fi lock

  • Energy management settings: Power-on/off timer, holiday setting, backlight brightness adjustment

Certificate

A certificate is a security clearance file for connecting a screen to a user-defined system, including a Wi-Fi network or premises management system (PMS). A certificate allows a screen to securely communicate with in-house systems or external services.

Key features
  • Add new certificates and manage existing certificates.

  • View certificate details: date of addition, date of update installation, workspaces where the certificate is in use, etc.

  • Customize network settings, such as PMS linkage and Wi-Fi authentication.

TV Channel Map

This feature is used to configure and publish channel information to hotel TVs. It is useful for uniformly setting and maintaining channels for viewing from TVs in hotel guest rooms.

Key features
  • Create new channel maps or import channel maps from screens.

  • Publish channel maps to TVs.

  • Publishing a channel map with a program guide set up automatically updates the program guide.
