Sorry if this a basic question, I am complete new to BrightSign.

Is it possible to display a single webpage across multiple displays?

Basically what we have is a bank of 6 displays, in portrait orientation, in a single row. The users want to have various visitor information rotate between the displays, some of the information would change rarely, ie prices. Other information they want to change daily. The text information would be confined to a single screen at a time but rotate between screen, images, video and animation could span multiple displays.

Being a web develop my initial thought on how to best to meet all of the requirement was via a HTML5 webpage, however I can not seem to find any documentation on how to display a webpage across multiple displays.

Thanks,

  I was able to get this question answered directly by the great customer support staff at BrightSign. I will share their response as it may be helpful to others.

  • This isn't out of the box functionality. But, I saw a demo of project where this was done. So, it may be possible. I will check with one of my colleagues if we have a sample we can provide that shows how you could do this.

  • Also, let me correct something I said before. You can't use html on the brightwall feature. That's only for videos.

    But, you can display an html page across displays by doing the following..

    You would reference the same ‘big’ page with different x and y positons as the origin of the page in the html published on each unit.

  • To add to what my colleague said, one optimization would be to use a single page and do the appropriate transform based on the serial number of the player or user variable.

    Using serial number would even allow you to use a single project.

  • You will also want to reference this page for the appropriate rotation transform for portrait, and the website origin transform that will need to be adjusted per-screen/player.
