Monitor

Use the Monitor tab to monitor the playback of the Digital Signage broadcasts running on your client machines.

The colored bars make it possible to see at a glance whether a broadcast experiences problems and requires that you take appropriate measures.

The Monitor tab can only be used to check on the playback of a broadcast, while the general status of your machine is displayed on the machine overview page.

Please note that the display of the Monitor tab varies with the folders/machines you selected in the directory tree on the lefthand side. Once a folder is selected, the display will show all machines that are assigned to this folder and being monitored. If you only selected an individual machine, the display will indicate the status of that machine provided it supports the Digital Signage function.
