How to Use Media Assets in Digital Signage

Media Assets is a media library for storing and managing videos, images, and PDF files, making it easy to organize content and reuse assets across playlists and digital signage displays.

  • It supports most videos and images formats, in addtion to PDF files.
  • Files uploaded and imported to playlists can be managed from Media Assets.
  • Also, if you haven’t created playlists yet, files can be uploaded from media assets and reused in multiples playlists without having to upload them again.
  • Media Assets helps organise media by folders. It also allows to search through media by name and type.

Important Note:

Files deleted from the media assets will be deleted from all the playlists they are used in.

Add or remove tags on several media items

  1. Select the checkbox on each media item you want.
  2. Select Tags. The button shows how many media items are selected. Folders aren’t counted, because folders don’t carry tags.
  3. Select Add or Remove.
  4. Enter or choose one or more tags.
  5. Select Save.

 

Select Tags

 

  • Add: adds the tags to every selected media item. Tags already on the items stay. New tags are added to your tag list, so every tag picker offers them.

  • Remove: takes only these tags off every selected media item. Other tags stay. Capitalisation doesn’t matter here: removing lobby also removes Lobby.

A message shows how many media items were updated. If some can’t be updated, a message shows how many failed, and the items stay selected so you can try again.

To control which screens play tagged media, see Control media playback by tags .
