• The software gets the current date from the Player PC and displays it.
• You can use the software to show geometric shapes like rectangles and ovals. These shapes can have customizable features such as borders, solid backgrounds or gradient colors, and control over transparency.
• It supports showing live data, such as Media RSS, RSS, XML, social media, and QL Server-hosted feeds. You can use individual fields or tables to display the data and even mix different feeds in the same template. It also supports image links in Media RSS and XML feeds, automatically resizing images to fit each zone.

• The design software allows you to display live data in a table format, using settings that you customize. You can show an entire database or select specific fields.
• Multiple data sources can be shown in fully synchronized tables.
• It also supports image links in Media RSS and XML feeds, dynamically resizing images to match each zone.

A content design solution for all your signage needs

To make your layouts more appealing, simply drag and drop images onto your template’s top layer. These images will appear above any other content in the template.

You can directly upload your JPEG and PNG files into the template designer, where they will be stored. The software supports PNG transparency, allowing you to create masking layers for a polished look.

To create a Playlist Zone, drag and drop any existing playlist from QL Content Manager into your template. Any changes made to the playlist, such as adding or removing content, will be reflected in the zone. You can drag multiple playlists into a single zone, and they will play one after the other. By default, the content in each playlist loops, but you can choose to change this behavior to play through once and pause at the end. Playlists keep all their attributes when included in a zone and can play their content randomly or mute video sound.

Finally, new templates have a default duration of 15 seconds. However, if you add media with a duration longer than 15 seconds, the template will automatically adjust to match the content’s duration. For example, if you add a Playlist Zone lasting 15 minutes, the template will adapt accordingly. In templates with multiple Playlist or Media Zones, the longest zone determines the template’s duration.

Creating custom digital signage templates offers several benefits for businesses:

1. Brand Consistency: Custom templates allow businesses to maintain a consistent brand image across all digital signage displays. By incorporating brand colors, logos, and typography, templates ensure that the signage aligns with the overall brand identity.
2. Professional Appearance: Custom templates enable businesses to design visually appealing and professional-looking content. By using well-designed layouts and graphics, businesses can capture the attention of their audience and enhance the overall impression of their brand.
3. Message Clarity: Custom templates allow businesses to structure their content in a clear and organized manner. By defining specific areas for different types of information, such as text, images, and videos, templates ensure that the message is conveyed effectively and is easy for the audience to understand.
4. Time Efficiency: Once custom templates are created, businesses can save time in creating new content. By reusing templates, businesses can quickly update and modify the content, reducing the time required for content creation and deployment.
5. Flexibility and Customization: Custom templates provide businesses with the flexibility to adapt their content to different purposes and target audiences. Templates can be designed to accommodate different layouts, sizes, and orientations, allowing businesses to customize their signage for various locations and screen configurations.
6. Scalability: Custom templates can be easily replicated and scaled across multiple digital signage displays. This makes it convenient for businesses with a large number of screens or multiple locations to maintain a consistent look and feel throughout their signage network.
