Single Media

Under «Single Media» you define how a single medium or a single app is displayed when you place it directly on a screen, that is without a Playlist or Layout. The settings apply to the entire company.

The page is called «Media Settings» and carries the note «Would affect only a single media or app when it is set to a screen». So the settings only take effect when an image, a video, a PDF or an app runs alone on a screen. If the content is in a Playlist or a Layout, the settings of the Playlist or Layout apply.

With the three switches you determine, per content type, whether the content is stretched to fill the screen:

• «Bilder bildschirmfüllend strecken» for images
• «Video bildschirmfüllend strecken» for videos
• «Dokumente bildschirmfüllend strecken» for PDF documents

Below, at «Standard Dauer (pro Seite)», you set how long a page is displayed, in the format hours : minutes : seconds. Save your changes with «Einstellungen aktualisieren».

• Stretched or not? If the aspect ratio does not match the screen, for example a portrait image on a landscape screen, stretched content is distorted. Without stretching, the aspect ratio is kept, but borders appear.
• Multi-page content: The default duration applies per page, for example for each page of a PDF. At 00 : 00 : 10, a ten-page PDF therefore switches pages every ten seconds.
• Playlists and Layouts: How to set the duration there is shown in «Playlists».
