Everything you need to run your screens.

Design slides with AI help, keep them current with live data, decide what plays where and when, and manage every player from one web browser.

AI slide design

  • AI designerDescribe a slide and the AI designer drafts the layout, text and imagery, using your channel's theme: its colours, fonts and logo.
  • TemplatesStart from a slide template, keep a template library per channel, and manage your organization's templates.
  • AI images and videoGenerate an image from a description, edit an existing picture by describing the change, or turn an image into a short video clip.
  • AI presenterA presenter video, made from your script, that speaks on the slide.
  • PowerPoint importBring slides in from .pptx files: text, shapes, pictures, tables and backgrounds come across, with fonts matched to close free equivalents.
  • A full slide editorText, images, video, audio, shapes, borders, drawings, charts, tables, QR codes, calendars, 3D models, web pages and embedded slides.

Live data feeds

  • Weather, date and timeCurrent conditions and forecasts, clocks and dates that update on their own.
  • News feedsRSS headlines on a slide or as a ticker.
  • Live tablesA table bound to a live source: a CSV or JSON feed or a Google Sheet, read live, or a web page whose content AI extracts on a schedule.
  • ChartsBar, line and other charts drawn sharply at any screen size.

Scheduling

  • Channels, playlists and programsOrganize content the way your buildings are organized, with channels inside channels.
  • Playlist schedulesChoose which playlist plays on which days and at what times.
  • Slide schedulesShow a slide only on certain days, times or dates.
  • Music schedulesBackground music that follows its own schedule.
  • Live overridePut a message on a channel's screens right now, then return to the regular schedule.

Video walls and multi-screen sync

  • One canvas, several screensA single player drives two or more screens as one wide or tall canvas, side by side or stacked, in landscape or portrait.
  • Video wall controllersFeed a controller that splits one output into a grid of screens.
  • Synchronized playbackScreens in the same space change slides together, kept in step by a shared clock.

Proof of play

See which slides your players actually put on screen, how many times and for how long. Choose a date range, narrow it to a channel, folder, player or slide, and group the results by slide, player, day or hour. Players keep their log through network outages and send it when they reconnect.

Emergency alerts

Take over every screen, or chosen channels, with a lockdown, evacuation, shelter-in-place, fire or severe-weather message, and send it at the same moment by text message and email to the people who signed up. Automatic weather alerts from the US National Weather Service can appear on their own, and a webhook lets a fire panel or mass-notification system raise and clear alerts.

How emergency alerts work

Touch kiosks

Make slides interactive for lobbies, wayfinding and menus: a tap on any element can go to another slide or program, and the kiosk returns to its regular content after a period of no touches.

Players

Managed Linux players installed from our install USB stick keep a local copy of your content, so playback continues through network outages. Commercial displays and devices you already own (Samsung and LG displays from 2022 on, ChromeOS and Android devices) can play in their built-in browser after pairing with a code.
