The Device Preview tool is available on your Mvix Signage account, and is there to allow you to quickly determine the status of your devices.
Once you access this area, all the available information is presented within individual box zones. Each zone displays details such as the device name, last update, and content.
In other words, this section allows you to preview what will appear on your screens before scheduling it. Additionally, it enables you to check what is currently showing on your screens, even if you are working remotely.
What You’ll Need
- A compatible digital signage player e.g. Mvix, BrightSign, etc.
- Mvix CMS Software with a supported feature package
- Internet Connectivity
