Video content type in Content Manager Web

In Content Manager Web, use the Video content type to play videos on your digital sign.

1. Navigate to your repository in Content Manager Web. Click Add New Content or, alternatively, right-click the repository and select Add New Content.
2. In the "Properties" window, give the video content a descriptive name.
3. Determine a recurrence, if desired.
4. Enter a duration.

   Considerations for video durations:

   • Video durations do not follow the normal duration rules.
   • Every video file has its own duration, which is the length of the video.
   • To ensure the video plays in its entirety, uncheck Duration.
   • Unlike other content items, when a duration is assigned to a video content item, the video plays for the exact amount of time specified in the "Duration" field, potentially cutting off the video.
   • To set a video to repeat, uncheck Duration and check Loop Content.
5. Enter the location or URL of the video file.
6. Ensure that the caching behavior is correct.
7. To loop the video, use the Loop option and select the frequency.
8. Under "Video player", select the type of video player from the drop-down menu.

   

   Some guidelines for a video are as follows:

   • Format: mp4, h.264
   • Frame rate: 30 frames/second
   • Refresh rate: TV 60 H
9. Click OK and save.
