How To? FAQs for Getting Started with Digital Signage
How do you get the Display5 Show to play on the digital sign?
When you have built your Show and are ready to view it on a DIGITAL SIGN, all you need to do is PREVIEW the Show when you are logged into Display5. When you are looking at your Show in the PREVIEW window, go to the ADDRESS BAR, in the top-left of the PREVIEW window and copy the URL. That URL, is the URL for your Show. And when you put that URL in the browser of the PLAYER attached to the DIGITAL SIGN, it will play your Show.
How do I control my different screens?
You will need to register each one of your PLAYERS that are attached to your screens. Registering a player is only required ONCE, and takes about 5 minutes. Once your players are registered, you will be able to change the content playing on them instantly from where ever you can log in from a browser. To learn the 5-minute process of registering a player, please go to this page, and see #1, Step 5.
How can I monitor my displays? Getting started digital signage
With your subscription, you will be able to monitor each of your registered players from your Display5 dashboard once you log in. You will be able to instantly see the status of each of your displays, restart them any time, switch the content playing on them. To learn more about the dashboard, please go to this page.
How do I set up the browser on the player?
When you first set up the player’s browser, we recommend that you change some of the settings in the browser to make the playing of your content smooth and uninterrupted. These include making sure the content plays on the full screen and making sure that videos will automatically play (the default is for videos to NOT play automatically. To learn the simple browser settings adjustments, please go to this page – Section #1, Step 4.
Note: Display5 runs on any full-function browser – Chrome, FireFax, Edge, Safari, etc. It also works on browsers that run on Linux, Android, or Smart TVs. Not all of these browsers have the full set of HTML feature support found in Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, so they may not be able to use all the functionality in Display5.
