The right content at the right time
Breakfast menu in the morning, campaign at the weekend, notices only during office hours. Write the rules once and screens switch content themselves when the time comes.
Every campaign in one calendar
The calendar shows the date ranges of content and programs in month, week and day views. You see at a glance what is on air this week and when each campaign ends.
Rules are set per item inside the folder and per scene in the program. The player applies them itself using the server's clock, so content switches on time even when the TV clock is wrong.
- On-air switch to turn an item on or off with one click
- Date range, daily time window and weekday rules
- "Every N loops" frequency and a daily play limit per screen
- Include and exclude by tag
- Scene time rules
How the rules work
You set each item's rules inside its folder. Rules work together: an image can play only in December, on weekdays between 09:00 and 18:00, and once every three loops.
- Open the item in the folder and make sure its on-air switch is on.
- Enter a start and end date; the item leaves the screen on its own at the end.
- Choose the daily time window and the weekdays it should play.
- If needed, set an "every N loops" frequency and a daily play limit per screen.
- Add a tag rule to show the item only on screens with certain tags.
- Deploy the change.
The clock problem, solved
TV clocks are often wrong. The MIA player takes the server's clock as its reference and applies the rules on the device itself. That is why the morning scene starts in the morning and the evening scene in the evening, even when the network is down.
Limits
For rules to work offline, the program must already have been deployed to the screen. New changes you make in the panel during an outage reach the screen when it reconnects.
When an item has several rules, all of them must be met at once. If content does not appear when you expect it, check the on-air switch first, then the date, time, weekday and tag rules in turn.
