Simply put... WordPress<\/em> is one of the best content managements systems available today. Digital signage management is a content management problem. As for futusign<\/em> itself, hearing how others are using it is the best way to understand the possibilities.<\/p>\n\n

The Digital Signage Case Study: Warrington College of Business<\/a><\/em> illustrates a medium-sized futusign deployment at an educational institution.<\/p>\n\n\n

Install and activate the futusign<\/em> plugin via the WordPress Plugins<\/em> admin screen.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

How do I use futusign?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

Using your favorite presentation tool, e.g., PowerPoint<\/em>, create a slide show with the same resolution and aspect ratio of the target display screen; for example 1920px by 1080px for an landscape HD screen. Save it as a series of images.<\/p>\n\n

From the WordPress<\/em> administrative screens.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Add a new Image<\/em> (or multiple) from the admin menu; uploading the image file.<\/li>\n
  2. Update the Image Duration<\/em> as desired.<\/li>\n
  3. While adding the image, also add it to a new Playlist<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  4. Add a new Screen<\/em> from the admin menu.<\/li>\n
  5. Update the Polling Cycle<\/em> as desired.<\/li>\n
  6. While adding the screen, also subscribe it to the created Playlist<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  7. View the Screen<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    When editing a screen; a list of the currently playing media is provided.<\/p>\n\n

    To create a digital sign, connect a television to a computer with Chrome<\/em> browser and have it load the Screen's<\/em> URL. The loaded web application will check every hour (configurable) to automatically apply changes made on the admin screens.<\/p>\n\n
