Delivering Content

To deliver content using the Broox Platform you will have to set up a Campaign.

A Campaign will contain one or more Playlists.

Each Playlist will contain the Media (content) to display: Videos, images, HTML5 apps...

Log in to your client in Broox Studio with your provided credentials.

Preparing a campaign

If no media has been uploaded, it is a good idea to create some test campaigns with basic media (some videos or static images) to verify the setup afterwards.

Start by uploading some media to the Media Library. Navigate there by clicking on Media Library under the Campaigns menu.

Media Library

The Media Library is divided into an Upload Area (top) and a Media List (bottom).

You can drag and drop:

• Images (JPG or PNG).
• Videos (MP4 with H264 encoding recommended).
• HTML5 apps (ZIP compressed).

You can also click Upload new file to open the OS file browser to select file(s).

The uploaded files will show on the bottom Media List.

You can Search for uploaded files, filter by type, resolution and whether used in some playlist.

You can also remove unused files by checking the square checkbox and clicking the trash icon. (If the file is being used, you will get a warning and won't be able to delete it until you unassign it from the playlists it is on).

Creating a playlist

Under Campaigns click on the Playlists button.

You will access the Playlists section where you can create, edit and remove playlists.

Playlists are sets of media to be displayed sequentially, with a common theme or grouping (same product, etc).

We will add a New Playlist by clicking on the rightmost button. This opens the playlist pop-up.

On top, we can set a Name for the playlist.

Under that, we have the Media screen where we can upload, drag and drop or select media from the Media Library by clicking the Browse Media Library button.

Once added, we can assign a QR Coded URL to be shown below each media on the displays.

On Interactive campaigns, we can also assign triggers to each item of the media list. By clicking on the Add button next to each media, we can select the triggers that will activate said media.

Once we have some media added, we can Save the playlist or Cancel the changes. The created playlist will appear on the Playlists screen.

Creating a campaign

Campaigns are groupings of Playlists with different presentation criteria. The most basic one contains just a single content-sequence playlist.

The campaign list shows us all the available campaigns and whether those are being used now in any installation.

As usual, we can create campaigns by clicking the Add Campaign rightmost button, edit existing ones (by clicking on them) and delete unassigned ones (by selecting and clicking the trash bin icon).

We can search by name and filter by type and state.

Creating a campaign shows us the creation pop-up with a Name field, an optional UTM tag (for cross-site tracking).

Under that the Scheduling section and the Playlist Selection section.

We can select a date-time range when the campaign is active, or leave it empty for "always on".

On the Playlists section we select one or more playlists and set its showtimes.

We can click Save or Cancel to record the changes.

If we already have an installation to deploy the campaign to, an additional Assign Canvas section will show, where we can assign the created campaign.

Also, a Save and Deploy button allows us to both save the changes and immediately reload the target installations with the changes.

Kiosk mode

To set up the Interactive Experience as an unattended "kiosk" mode, some changes to the system are in order.

This is a basic minimum:

• Set up the system to automatically log-on to an unprivileged account in graphical mode.

• Automatically start the media player in graphical mode, with a respawning script if possible.

• Disable any system interaction other than the mediaplayer.

• Set any other components to run in the background (controller, vision node, etc.)

See the Technical Support Section for tips and tools for it.
