Layout options
You can customize a display’s layout with these elements:
Clock: shows the current time at the top or bottom of the screen
Title bar: adds context by showing the name of the content app
Status bar: shows whether the display is online, so you can see if it needs attention
You can also change the display’s orientation (portrait or landscape) or use the Multiview App to split the screen and show several content feeds at once.
Layout types
Layout | Title bar | Status bar | Best for |
Detailed | ON | ON | Context and predictability, with app names and “Up Next” announcements |
Minimalist | OFF | ON | Maximum space for content, with connection status still visible |
Full screen | OFF | OFF | Promoting messages and videos with no extra bars |
Detailed layout (Title ON, Status ON)
Show title: displays the app name at the top of the screen
Show clock: displays the time in 12-hour or 24-hour format. The time follows the media player’s location, and you can change the time zone in the SETUP menu
Show next app title: shows the name of the upcoming app, which makes the content flow predictable and encourages viewers to stay for the next message
Minimalist layout (Title OFF, Status ON)
Show status bar: a green bar means the media player is online. A red pause symbol means it is offline but still showing content
Show clock: displays the time, with the same time zone options as above
Show display owner: adds the owner’s name in brackets next to the status bar, so viewers know who manages the display
Full screen layout (Title OFF, Status OFF)
The whole screen is used for content. This is the most common layout for messages and videos.
View Distance
The View distance slider sets the size of text on screen. Adjust it so text is readable from your intended viewing distance. Moving the slider towards the left usually gives better results.
