Content settings

Screen fit

Screen fit controls how the content is sized to the screen it plays on.

The Screen fit options

  • Fill — the default. The content is resized to the exact width and height of the screen, so its original aspect ratio is not kept.
  • Responsive — the page itself is resized to the available width and height, and the position and size of every widget is recalculated. Each axis follows the available area on its own, so the authored aspect ratio is not kept. This gives a custom app a container at the screen's own resolution to lay itself out in.
  • Contain — the whole page is scaled up or down while keeping its aspect ratio, and centred. When the ratios differ, empty bars are left on two sides.

A content saved with the retired Letterbox or Overflow option keeps rendering exactly as it did. The option stays listed for that content but is disabled, so it cannot be selected again.

Synchronize content

Data binding with pagination

Once a Base data path is set with the pivot at a collection (row) level, you can enable Data binding with pagination. This lets the slide be added to a playlist as a Paginated slide page — repeating the slide once for every row (or group of rows) in the datasource.

It exposes two sub-options:

  • Widgets using pagination row offset — read-only. Calculated automatically from the highest Row offset for pagination set on the slide's widgets (highest offset plus one), it is the number of datasource rows shown per page.
  • Remember playback position — when enabled, the paginated slide resumes from the next unplayed row after the playlist moves on and returns, instead of restarting from the first row. Disabled by default.

Comment

  • In the Comment Menu, you can leave a comment and you can see who saved the content last time.

External Events

  • You can set sensor and datasource events in the External events menu. The content will react to event values or send out an event value to a sensor.
