Steps
The dashboard offers visual feedback on the schedule and connectivity of your display. It mirrors the content currently playing in your playlist. To check what is being shown on the actual display(s), you can either run a report for previously played content or view the physical display(s). Please note, this is not a live feed. If your display is not installed, a communication error will appear. However, you can still create content and playlists even if the display is not installed.
- Thumbnails: By clicking on the thumbnail icon, the Venus dashboard will provide you with a thumbnail of recently played content. Please note that the dashboard does have a 10 second refresh rate. If any Content Studio or Web Presentation files are scheduled to your display, it will only show the first layout/slide of that presentation and may show longer than ten seconds depending on the duration of the presentation.
- Device Communication: By clicking the heartbeat icon, the dashboard will switch to device communication. This provides you with visual feedback regarding your display connectivity.
- Webcams: By clicking on the camera icon it will switch from device communication to webcam. This provides you with a view of your display. Please note that you must have webcam(s) enabled for this feature to be present.
