The Outputs Area

Another work area in the Campaign Section is the Outputs. The output is the Configuration of your Screen. It matches the layout of the Screen Divisions you created in the Screens Section of the SignageStudio.

In the Outputs area you’ll drop and assign Channels to embed in your Screen Divisions. Here you’ll also be able to preview the Presentation; either using the SignagePlayer Web or Desktop version.

The output allows you to create a variation of a timeline for different resolution screens or, if you wanted to run a slightly modified version of a timeline. For example, you have 2 Stations, one in Los Angeles and one in New York. You want both to play the same campaign (thus same timelines). However you wish to have the Weather component be unique for each of the 2 locations. With multi output you can assign all screen divisions and channels to be identical while for both locations, while keeping a single channel (in this case Weather component) unique per location. This will reduce the amount of work needed to create a new presentation per location.

You can add or delete outputs. You can have an unlimited number of outputs in a Campaign, and also more importantly, you can switch between different Outputs inside a campaign when you assign it to particular stations.
