How OmmaSign works

OmmaSign runs your screens unattended. Five things make it work:

• Media: the images, videos and audio files you upload on the Media page.
• Playlist: an ordered list of items, each with how long it stays on screen and optional display rules. Screens play it in a loop.
• Channel: a name for one playlist. Screens point at a channel, so you can swap the playlist behind it without touching each screen.
• Screen: a display running the OmmaSign player. It sits in at most one location and plays at most one channel.
• Location: a place with a time zone that groups screens. Time-based display rules use the location's time zone.

The path from file to screen

1. Upload media.
2. Add it to a playlist and press Publish.
3. Point a channel at the playlist.
4. Pair a screen and set its channel.

Screens download a published playlist's files first, then switch to it at the next item, so they never show a half-loaded version.
