MEDIAEDGE DCM

|
The MEDIAEDGE® Display Content Manager (DCM) is a software application to manage the digital signage features of a MEDIAEDGE system.
The DCM application is the perfect companion to your MEDIAEDGE system. It can be installed on any personal computer on the network (running Windows XP or Windows Vista), and allows you to create and publish digital signage content to your MEDIAEDGE servers and players.
Digital signage content can include standard-definition (SD) or high-definition (HD) video, text, RSS data feeds, HTML, still images, and audio files. These elements can be arranged in various screen zones and published worldwide. Signage content can be scheduled to run on any display at any time.
Content tools
allow signage assets to be grouped by project and previewed within the DCM. Individual assets can be reused in multiple screen layouts.
Layout tools
allow the user to create and manage the arrangement and positioning of graphics within the digital sign. Screen designs are saved independently of content, allowing common layouts to be used with a variety of content.
Playlist tools
facilitate the scheduling of content within the layout. Multiple playlists can derive from a single layout. This helps assure consistency throughout any enterprise where content may vary by location.
Channel management tools
allow content to be scheduled and published worldwide by location, or by any defined group of players. Groups can span locations, departments, time zones, or just about any definable category.
Network management tools
allow administrators to group players by site, by region, by department, or by any relevant category. Grouping players allows content to be scheduled and published across players within the group. Content updates are automated by group to make best use of bandwidth.
