Related Information

  • A solution contains one or more pages. A page contains one or more media items.
  • Pages play sequentially from top to bottom.

Operating Procedure

  1. On the Solutions, click New Solution and select a solution type.

    Solution types include regular solution, ultra-long-screen solution, and splicing screen solution.

    Figure 1. Creating a solution


    For the creation and publishing of ultra-long-screen solutions, there are firmware version limitations. The specific supported device models and versions are shown in the table below.

    Series Device Models First Supported Version
    TB series TB10 Plus, TB20 Plus V4.7.6
    TB30, TB40, TB50, TB60 V4.6.0
    TN65 series TN65 V4.7.6
    TCC series TCC160 V4.7.4
    TU series TU15 Pro, TU20 Pro, TU4K Pro, TU40 Pro V1.5.0
    Note:
    Other device models do not currently support ultra-long-screen solutions. For more details, please contact the technical support of NovaStar.
  2. Specify a solution name and resolution, select associated solutions (optional), turn on intelligent tag matching (optional), and click OK. (Splicing screen solutions also require row and column settings.)


    Note:
    • Only regular screen solutions support intelligent tag matching.
    • Turning on intelligent tag matching allows a solution to be automatically published to the screens with the same tags as the solution. Please note that the solution cannot be added to schedules.
    • When publishing a solution, users need to manually search screens by name. For the screens with the same name, further distinguish them by SN.
  3. Edit the solution on the solution editor.

    After a solution is added, it can be immediately previewed in real time to ensure the content accuracy and playback effect.
