iCOMPEL Digital Signage - User Guide (V8.1.1)
The content designer can design content for a Channel and yet make each iCOMPEL/s play specific
content. For example, if a company has branches in different locations, the company can create a '
weather_location' in ISO format and use Digital Signage Widgets to display location specific weather.
Conditional Play can be used to control the media and schedule for individual iCOMPELs with a single
Channel. For example, a chain store could create content for all stores, publish to a single site, have all
subscribers download the content and yet play content in each store based on customer profiles visiting
particular stores (using Conditional Play for Playlist items), and/or the opening hours of that store (using
Conditional Play for one or more Schedules).
Player Local Information is also reported to iDigitalManager and can be used for effective asset tracking.
For example, each player can store its address, asset tracking id and if there is a problem, it is easy to
determine the location of the player based on iDigitalManager reports.
NOTE: Any change in Player Location Information can have an immediate effect on the currently playing item.
