Portrait layouts for portrait screens
Lift cabins, corridors and entrance totems run in portrait. MIA treats portrait screens as a layout of their own: it does not squeeze landscape content, it uses zones made for portrait.
Playback continues even when the lift loses signal
The ready "Dikey bilgi ekranı" (portrait information screen) design is 1080×1920. Enter your logo and colours, and the program, folders and widgets are created for you.
On Samsung signage screens the MIA Player package keeps media on the screen itself. In a real Wi-Fi outage test inside a lift cabin, playback did not stop and no warning appeared on screen.
- Ready portrait layouts
- Ready portrait information screen design, 1080×1920
- Rotation of 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees
- Rotate either on the TV or in MIA, never both
- Orientation tag added automatically
How to set up a portrait screen
- Mount the screen in portrait and start MIA Player.
- Pair the screen by entering the 6-character code it shows into the panel.
- Decide where to rotate: in the TV's own menu or in the screen settings in MIA. Do not do both, or the picture ends up upside down or sideways.
- Choose a program with a portrait layout, or apply the portrait information screen design.
- Deploy the change.
When preparing content
Prepare images and videos at 1080×1920 for portrait screens. You can show a landscape video on a portrait screen, but most of the screen stays empty. Keep text short; in a lift the viewer only has a few seconds.
Which devices?
Samsung SSSP/Tizen signage screens, Android boxes and Android TVs all work in portrait. On a Samsung signage screen the MIA Player package stores media on the screen, so playback continues even when the cabin loses Wi-Fi. Because the orientation tag is added automatically, showing content only on portrait screens is easy too.
Installing the MIA Player package on Samsung signage screens requires a Samsung certificate for each site, which MIA prepares. Details are on the Samsung SSSP/Tizen page.
