Using STQRY Signage

Media and playlists

  • Explain where media lives and which file types a display can play
  • Describe what happens to a file between upload and playback, and when to use Don't transform
  • Build a playlist and explain how durations, looping and audio work
  • Explain how content languages, the audio companion and Sync display build on a playlist

Upload once, use it anywhere

  • Uploaded once, at account level
  • Reused across playlists, schedules and projects
  • Images, video and audio play on a display

Content Library Upload once Counter playlist Van playlist Another project

How does Builder fit each file to the display?

  • Resized Images, to each display's own resolution
  • 480p Video, a standard version
  • MP3 Audio
  • Original With Don't transform switched on

Playlists play top to bottom, then loop

  • Images: 10 seconds unless you change it
  • Videos: always their full length
  • Images and video only

One playlist, many languages

  • A media item holds one file per language
  • Visitors pick from pills on the display, or use a remote

Can visitors listen on their own phone?

  • The audio companion shows a QR code on the display
  • The sound plays on the visitor's phone

How do you keep displays in step?

  • Same item, same moment, every display
  • For video walls and displays seen together
  • Set on each display, not the playlist

Item 3 Item 3 Same item, same moment

Check your understanding

  1. A video's duration says 10 seconds, but it plays for two minutes. Why?
  2. Can a customer add an MP3 to a playlist?
  3. Two side-by-side displays change slides at different times. What do you check?
  1. Duration only applies to still images. A video always plays its full length.
  2. No. Playlists take images and video. Audio goes on a display directly, in a schedule block, or in a location program zone, trigger or cue.
  3. That Sync display is on for both displays, then that both are playing the same content. If they're running a schedule, check both have the same timezone.
