Media type page

Playlist pages can also be created directly from selected media files, giving you the flexibility to customize your content the way you want.

Images and PDFs

• A globally defined Duration will be applied to each page.
• This default duration determines how long each item is displayed.
• You can manually adjust this value for individual files as needed.

Video Files and Audio

• Videos and audio files automatically use their native duration.
• These durations can also be overridden by a maximum item duration.
• Files with a native duration shorter than the page length will loop to fill the page duration.

Examples

Example 1.

Image duration uses default duration, video and audio files are inheriting their native durations.

Default duration: 10s

Audio length: 43.08s
Image length: 10s
Video length: 8.01s

The overall playlist duration will be 61.09s.

• In this case, the video and audio will finish itself before moving to the next page.

Example 2.

Image duration uses default duration, video and audio files duration has been manually adjusted to 10s

Default duration: 10s

Audio length: native duration was 43.08s, manually set to 10s
Image length: 10s Video length: native duration was 8.01s, manually set to 10s

The overall playlist duration will be 30s.

• The audio file will finish the play after 10s, then moving to the next page.
• The image will play according to the default duration.
• Therefore, the video will finish itself, then start again to fill the manually given duration.

Media type page settings

In Playlist Page Settings, you can individually edit each page’s general settings and customize its behavior.

Duration

This duration will define the length of the media file which has no native duration.

• Minimum duration/item must be greater than 3s.
• This duration can be overwritten by default duration from Playlist settings.
• If the selected media file has a native duration and the manually set duration exceeds it, a reset button will appear to restore the native duration.

In ePaper mode this value is set in minutes, with the minimum duration of 5 minutes.

Advertiser

• You can select whether the device must contain all tags or at least 1 tag has to match.

Saturation

A value that determines how frequently a page alternates in the playlist.

• A higher saturation causes the page to shuffle more frequently, simulating the creation of additional pages to fill the time between other pages.
• This value cannot be 0.
