Back to The Truth Behind Digital Signage Continue to Digital Signage Player


The new Noventri digital signage software package is easy to use and feature rich. It was developed right here in the US specifically for the new Eco-Series™ line of Noventri players. Best of all, it's FREE! No gimmicks, really! You don't even need our hardware. Noventri DS Suite™ can be used as a simple digital signage player on its own! Get it on the Downloads page. Be sure to check out the Quick Start Tutorial to get you started creating your layouts.


NOVENTRI DIGITAL SIGNAGE SUITE

You can install Noventri DS Suite™ on as many of your computers as you wish. Noventri DS Suite™ makes it easy to create content in resolutions all the way up to 1920x1200! Add multiple region types, including text, image, & clock regions to design stellar layouts. Each region supports transparency and can overlap other regions to create interesting effects. Create anti-aliased text from any font available on your system and apply various styles to make the text pop. Import industry standard image formats including .jpg, .png, and .bmp. Once your pages are created, put them together in the easy to use Time-Line interface to create your sequences.

Playback your sequences on either your main or secondary monitor. Noventri DS Suite™ can function as a stand-alone simple digital signage player with output that looks as good as your computer and monitor; although some features, such as scheduling, transitions, and database features are functions that are performed by the Eco-Series™ line of Noventri players. See the comparison chart below.

NOVENTRI SERVER

While Noventri DS Suite™ serves as a content creation tool, Noventri Server™ allows you to broadcast and manage your content to your entire network of Eco-Series™ Players. By using Noventri Eco-Series™ Players, the full capabilities of Noventri DS Suite™ and Noventri Server™ are realized.

Content can be automatically updated using a database, be assigned and scheduled to play on various players, and emergency information can be triggered instantly.*

The Noventri Server™ can be installed on the same computer as the Noventri DS Suite™ for small networks, or on a separate computer dedicated for large networks. Every Noventri DS Suite™ includes a Manager tab, which gives you control over all the Noventri Server™ functions. Permissions can be set to limit access to certain players and functions. You can have different people designing and managing different players on the same network!



Emergency Setup

EMERGENCY SETUP*


The Emergency Setup screen in the Noventri DS Suite™ allows you to prepare and be ready for the worst. You can assign content you created to different types of emergencies and important situations. A single image can be preloaded into a priority buffer on the player to be triggered with virtually no delay, saving precious seconds and getting a potentially life-saving message displayed almost instantaneously. You can preload many more emergency messages into a secondary buffer so they can be available within seconds.*

Depending on your local codes and ordinances, you can interface the Noventri DS Suite™ with your pre-existing alarm system. User Accounts allow for different users to have different rights inside the Noventri Server™, so you'll never need to worry about employees without proper authorization triggering false alarms. You can install a small applet included with the Noventri Server™ on any office computer on your network giving quick access to the emergency controls from whichever computer you wish.


LOCATIONS


The Locations tab inside of Noventri DS Suite™ keeps you up-to-date on the status of all of your players. You can assign projects to be sent to single players or groups of players and monitor playback.

You can assign groups of players (locations) in the Configuration tab, so you won't need to send out identical content more than once.
Locations
Scheduling

SCHEDULING


Use the Scheduler to assign sequences of pages to players (locations) in advance. Planning on taking a vacation? No worries! Just do all of your scheduling ahead of time, and Noventri Server™ will take care of getting the proper content to the proper players without your intervention. Have a great vacation!

The interface is intuitively designed to show content and dates as a sequence in time. Found a schedule that works well for you? Noventri Server™ can automatically repeat that schedule weekly until you command it otherwise.
