How Do I Use The Video Input Feature?

Video Input is a popular feature that is available on the Mvix CMS that allows users to display a live video input into a specific zone. This feature is most useful to clients whose audience is sitting for an extended period of time; such as in bars, waiting rooms, or lobbies.

What You'll Need

• A compatible digital signage player such as the BrightSign XT1144.
• Mvix CMS with a supported feature package.
• Connection to an external video source

Setup

• From the "Add Media" module, you can find the Video Input app by clicking on the (1) Licensed category and clicking again on the (2) Video Input app.
• This will open up the above module. Here, you'll see four available options for setting up your video input:
  • (3) Ratio - This is the width by height ratio. 16:9 is the default and most likely the one you will use
  • (4) Source Width & (5) Source Height - This will Match the pixel dimensions of the source video feed (ex. 1920×1080, 1280×720, 640×480, etc)
  • (6) Audio - Enables/disables audio capture along with the video input source
• Once you have confirmed your settings, be sure to (7) name your media then (8) click "Save Media" to add it to your library.

Please Note: The video input module is only compatible with progressive scan content – i.e. 720p, 1080p.
