Sedna Digital Signage – Features & Tips

Written by DIGITAL EDGE | Feb 28, 2020 12:25:00 PM

The solution for today’s digital signage market, ~sedna presenter is a powerful tool for communicating marketing messages, advertisements, brand values, and corporate information to displays of any size and at any location. Media management and content creation go hand-and-hand to make one powerful and fully integrated software suite.

How Does It Work?

 

Presenter Creator & Creator Pro

Presenter Creator is the cornerstone of the ~sedna software suite and the starting point for preparing and scheduling content. Compose, create, edit, and update content, playlists, and arrangements all in one application and with the simplicity of use that ~sedna has offered time and time again. Presenter Creator Pro offers all of the same features as Presenter Creator with added publishing and Player control functions. A built-in Player for previewing presentations completes the package.

 

Presenter Player, Pro, and 4K

Presenter Player is the playout application that displays your digital signage projects. The Player displays content according to schedules defined in Presenter Creator, which are then committed to the Player through, for example, LAN networks or from designated web spaces. Player 4K offers the highest possible resolution for signage playback. This version has all of the same features as Presenter Player Pro with the added bonus of playing videos with the highest possible definition, up to a resolution 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz (4 x full HD).
