How to Manage a Connected Screen?

Managing screens effectively in Samsung VXT is crucial for delivering dynamic and timely content. Here is a concise guide for navigating screen management:

Accessing Screen Management Features:

Place the mouse cursor over the row of the screen you wish to manage.

An icon will appear, providing quick access to various management functions without needing to open the screen's detailed page.

Available Management Functions

• Set Content: Assign specific content to the selected screen.
• Add Tags
• Organise and categorise screens by adding relevant tags.
• Launch VXT Player: Remotely start the VXT Player on your signage device if it's turned off. Note: This function is unavailable when the Player is online.
• Clear Cache: Reset and restart the VXT Player to ensure optimal performance.
• Move to Workspace: Transfer the screen to a different workspace. Be aware that this action will reset all content, playlists, and schedules associated with the screen. This option appears only if multiple workspaces are configured.
• Apply Screen Preset: Configure pre-settings for various screen types, such as Signage, Business TV, and Hospital TV. This feature is exclusive to the P Series pricing plan.
• Deactivate: Temporarily disable the screen to stop content playback without disconnecting the pairing.
• Delete: Remove the screen from the server, which also disconnects the pairing.

Clicking on a device opens Live View mode.  A set of buttons becomes available for real-time device control. These include:

• Power Options - Turn the device on or off directly from the Live View interface.
• Open the Home Menu - Access the device’s home menu to navigate or adjust settings.
• Change the Source - Switch between input sources, such as HDMI, USB or other connected devices.
• Volume Control - Increase or decrease the volume or mute the device if needed.
• Change Channel - For devices connected to TV tuners, different channels can be selected directly.

Click the checkbox at the top left corner of a screen's row to select it. Multiple screens can be selected simultaneously for batch operations.

Additional Features:

1. View Electricity Consumption

Use the energy management window to check the power usage of the screen.

Note: This feature will soon be available only with the P Series pricing plan.

2. Add Tags to a Screen

Organise and categorise screens by adding relevant tags. Tags help in filtering and managing screens efficiently, especially in large networks.

3. Control Multiple Screens

Multi-screen control enables simultaneous management of several screens, allowing for actions such as applying identical content or settings across all selected displays.

Note: This functionality is exclusive to the P Series pricing plan.

4. Delete a Screen

Deleting a screen disconnects its pairing with the VXT server and removes it from the system.
