The Content Management System is a web-based system used to manage networked players, locations, media and campaigns. The CMS allows our clients to manage any of their digital signage networks from any browser!
The CMS is hosted by the client and requires the following:

• Windows XP Professional or Windows 2003 Server
• Microsoft SQL Server (2000, 2005 and Express)
• IIS Web Server
• .NET 2.0

Features of the CMS include:

Media Management: All media content (MPEG, JPEG, RSS, etc) is managed from a central interface. Media items can be added, deleted, or updated with ease.

Scrolling Text Support: The CMS allows users to setup players to display RSS feeds or custom scrolling text.

Player Management: Players, which are part of the digital signage network, can be monitored and have their settings adjusted remotely.
Players send heartbeat signals at regular intervals to the CMS. The web interface displays the date/time for the last received heartbeat.

Campaigns: The CMS goes beyond single play lists for assigning content to players. With the concept of campaigns, users can setup one or more campaigns which target sepecfic locations during a set period of time. If a new player is assigned to a location, it automatically downloads content for all campaigns targetting that specific location. A location can belong to one or to many campaigns at any given time.

Time-Base Scheduling: The CMS supports date-range scheduling for campaigns, as well as time-based scheduling (for example, specific campaigns for lunch hours only). In addition, it is possible to create campaigns for specific days of the week such as Saturday and Sundays only.

Mutiple Network Support: Users can setup their players as part of a single network where all media is shared or they have the option to have separate distinct networks (separate account-access, locations & players). (Minimum number of players might be required).

Multiple Time Zone Support: Locations in your digital signage network can span more than one time zone. Each player pulls content relative to its time zone even if there is a campaign covering multiple continents!.

Proof of Playback:  Media playback reporting is accessible through the web interface (by date range, player, etc).
