Digital Signage Settings
Solstice digital signage allows you to show HTML-based signage on Solstice displays when they are not being used for wireless collaboration or conferencing. It can add digital signage feeds to your Solstice-enabled meeting rooms, huddle rooms, and transitional spaces without the additional cost or complexity of deploying dedicated signage hardware. See Integrating Digital Signage for more technical details about digital signage with Solstice.
In Solstice 5.5.2 and later, digital signage functionality can be used to show a custom webpage in place of the Solstice welcome screen when a Solstice display is not in use for content sharing. See Solstice Dynamic Digital Signage for examples and more information.
How To
Not all signage feeds are supported by Solstice. Always validate signage playback in a test environment before making it live across your deployment.
In Solstice Dashboard, select the Pod(s) you want to show digital signage on from the list of Your Solstice Instances.
Go to the Digital Signage tab.
Check Enable to interact with the digital signage settings.
Choose a digital signage display mode from the list of options:
Full Screen: Signage content is displayed full screen on the Solstice display. No Solstice connection information is shown — users must know Solstice display name or IP address to connect.
Footer Only: Only the Solstice welcome screen footer is shown over the signage content. Users familiar with Solstice can see the Solstice display name and/or IP address in the footer area to connect and share content. The source URL must be viewable within an IFrame.
Footer + Overlay: The Solstice welcome screen footer and sidebar overlay are shown on top of digital signage to provide users with full connection instructions and/or room calendar information. The source URL must be viewable within an IFrame.
In the Source URL field, enter the URL of the digital signage feed or web content to be displayed between Solstice sessions.
In the Start After menu, select the amount of time after which you want the digital signage feed to start playing.
Click Apply.
Note
Some signage providers require you to use a unique code to register your signage endpoints. Refer to your signage content provider's instructions to complete this process as needed.
Physically go to the location of the Solstice Pod where you enabled signage.
Confirm the signage feed is visible.
Connect to a Solstice Pod and the room camera and mic, then share a piece of content.
Disconnect and confirm the signage feed automatically reappears, plays the entire feed, and restarts the feed from the beginning.
If you need to exit digital signage mode to access the Pod's local configuration panel, you can do so by plugging a USB mouse into the Pod and long-clicking with the left mouse button.
