How it works

In a Carousel system, the channel is a unique set of content, like a channel on a television. Separate areas of the screen are called zones, and you can have as many zones or as few zones as you would like. Within each zone you play bulletins of any type, there are no restrictions. A template is a form that has been created for each type of bulletin to make the content contribution process as easy as possible. You enter information into the template, and Carousel composes the bulletin beautifully.

 

Everything you need to create brilliant digital signage is included in the software. You can import multiple types of image files, and DIGITAL EDGE provides many useful templates with each channel purchased, but Carousel also includes a complete content creation tool called the “Template Editor”, that allows you to create and edit new content and templates, as you need them.
 
Scheduling your bulletins is at the heart of any digital signage system and content management is built into all Carousel servers. Content management allows you to share content among different zones and channels. With Carousel, you decide when and where you want your content to run, and Carousel calculates the playlist based on the parameters you set.

 

In Carousel, different rights can be assigned to different users, and Carousel allows for an unlimited number of administrators and users. Rights can be assigned by function, by channel, by zone, and by type of bulletin. By providing such granular levels of authorization, Carousel helps enable many contributors to ensure that your digital signage system becomes a vital communications resource.
