Intuitive User Interface
With a concise and clear design, the CMS server’s user interface allows you to handle the system in an instant and manage a great quantity of SMP players all at once. Moreover, help files are accessible through the help button on every page, navigating you through the learning process. Not only will you enjoy a seamless user experience, but you can also manage the device remotely from your web browser without installing any additional software.
Efficient Management of Multiple Digital Signage Players
One CMS-20 server can control a maximum of 20 SMP players simultaneously. All SMP players connecting to the CMS server can be monitored through the server’s web-based user interface in two view modes: icon and list view. Instead of configuring media players one by one, you can manage all of them at the same time. Administrators can also locate SMP players on Google Maps when SMP players activate the location/GPS function.
Five-Layer Group Management
Administrators can create a maximum of five-layer groups to manage all SMP players systematically in two major aspects: content updates and task scheduling. CMS server will centrally control the playlists of all media players and synchronize content automatically to all players in groups. You can set the priority for each schedule in different layers to accommodate your need.
Intuitive Scheduling Management
You can insert a one-time event or arrange periodic tasks based on daily, weekly, monthly or yearly timescales for all SMP players in groups. Location-based scheduling is also doable to largely increase the flexibility. SMP players will playback multimedia content automatically based on the schedule assigned by the CMS server.
