Section 1: How StrandVision Digital Signage Works

StrandVision is a revolutionary Internet-based digital signage system that enables you to combine your text and graphics, even video, with other information sources, such as news and weather supplied by StrandVision.

Our approach allows you to update and change your signage from anywhere in the world, almost instantly. You can control one, a dozen, or hundreds of digital signage displays easily. We handle getting your signage information to the displays while automatically updating the news, weather, and other information services that we provide.

Section 2: How to Add Signage Pages

Adding pages to your signage is easy:

1. Go to www.strandvision.com.
2. Enter your USERNAME and PASSWORD and click GO at the CLIENT LOGIN area at the top of the page. (This will open your StrandVision account.)
3. After you've logged in, you'll see a screen similar to the one below:

4. Click the SIGNAGE PAGES tag at the top and then select MODIFY PAGES from the dropdown menu.
5. Click ADD PAGES on the left menu bar.

6. Move your mouse cursor over each thumbnail image. A description of what that page does will be shown under the Page Type box to the left of the thumbnails. Click on the page that you want to add. You will be prompted to enter the appropriate text or graphics information. The screen below presents a sample.

7. Click ADD PAGE to send your information to the StrandVision server, which will automatically add the page to your signage. (If you select a pre-programmed page, such as "Current Weather Conditions," you don't have to do anything else. The page is automatically added.)
8. Click MODIFY SIGNAGE to see all of the pages in your signage loop. Edit each individual one by clicking on it on the left side and change the details on the right side. If you do not have security rights to change it, it will just show you the information. You can also reorder the pages here. If you go to advanced user mode, you can set the time duration that the page will display as well as playback schedule information.
