OVERVIEW 1

Overview

The brief introduction and components of the SuperSign Lite/W/V are described below.

Introduction to SuperSign

The SuperSign is a network-based solution for digital advertising communications developed by LG Electronics. It is a program for integrated management of the SuperSign solution, providing support for digital media creation and management, content deployment, video play, and remote control. The SuperSign W solution includes the Display, SuperSign Player (hardware and soft- ware), and SuperSign Manager as its components.

Components of SuperSign

Display

The Display is connected to the SuperSign Player (media player) to display advertising content, and supports most LCD monitors/TV displays using the LG RS232C protocol. You can control monitor/TV functions (e.g. brightness, resolution, and sound) of the monitors/TVs supporting LG RS232C protocol by using the SuperSign Manager.

SuperSign Player

The SuperSign Player consists of a media player (hardware), and the SuperSign Player software which is installed on the media player. The media player comes in two types, box type (NC/ NA1000 series) and a built-in type (NC/NA2000 series).

SuperSign Manager

The SuperSign solution provides the SuperSign Manager, an all-in-one management program that allows you to manage the display and media player, and create and distribute media. Super-

Sign Manager is embedded with a client-side PC Editor which is capable of creating and editing content, and a server-side Web Editor.

ENGLISH

SuperSign Player 3

SuperSign Player

The SuperSign Player is a software program used to play digital signage files stored in the LG Digital Signage Media Player. You can play media files, such as videos, images, music, flash, and documents, transmitted from the SuperSign Manager using the SuperSign Player.

NOTE

???SuperSign Player is a built-in software program installed in the Media Player. Start the Media Player and check whether SuperSign Player has been installed.

If the initial window of the SuperSign Player does not appear, check that the monitor is turned on.

If the monitor is turned on, make sure that the cables between the Media Player and the monitor are properly connected.

???See the SuperSign file support.

???You can go to the desktop by pressing <Esc> on the initial SuperSign Player screen.

ENGLISH

Using the SuperSign Player

Signage Mode (Video Mode)

If the Media Player is turned on and the operating system is booted completely, SuperSign Player runs automatically. The SuperSign Player auto-runs schedules when it starts. The Signage mode refers to a mode in which pre-distributed videos are played on a schedule.

NOTE

???When the SuperSign Player restarts, it auto-runs the advertising content according to the schedule last transmitted. For more information, see ???Schedule??? on page 62.

???Playing more than one full HD video with other media file may slow down playback.

???Placing a message or text on more than two videos may cause a flicker.

???When the PowerDVD is removed from the SuperSign Player with the PowerDVD SE installed, videos encoded to H.264, MPEG-2 and WMV are played without hardware acceleration.

???Using a transition effect on a full-HD picture, or more than two pictures, may slow down the speed of play.

???When you change the time zone in Windows, restart the SuperSign Player to apply the changes.

???It is recommended to use videos encoded to H.264 (AVC).

???The video with resolutions above full-HD (1920*1080) may not be played properly.

NOTE

yy The Restart Sync feature is available only in SuperSign W and SuperSign V. If you want to use this feature, please purchase SuperSign W or SuperSign V.

Players that are performing sync playback send notifications to the server when situations such as playback stoppage or connection loss occur. Users can check notification messages through their web browsers that are connected to the server.

NOTE

yy Instant messages cannot be sent to players that are performing sync playback.

yy Players that are performing sync playback are unable to perform the content and instant message playback management.

yy To enable sync playback, the default time zone of the players you want to sync should be identical.

yy Sync playback uses the TCP/IP network technology.

yy The IP address assigned to the Master Player must be the same as the one assigned to the parent network of the slave or the network of the slave.

yy For the Master Player, it is recommended that you use a static IP.
