You can customize each QL Player through a series of properties:

Screen 1


  1. Player name: The default player name is always Player01, Player02, etc…  You can rename the player and give it a more unique and meaningful name, like Lobby Screen or Meeting Room – 2nd Floor

  2. General properties: Enter information about the player’s physical location.  It’s also good practice to include the contact information of someone near the player’s physical location who can tend to the player.

  3. Location specific content: Add content specific to this player that can be called up any playlist. This is full screen content like videos, images, Flash SWF or even web pages (URLs).

  4. Player tag: Assign meta tags to determine which content can be played on this device.  Content assigned matching tags will play on this player.


Screen 2


  1. Technical profile: Technical profiles contain many settings that that be assigned to one or more players. To assign a technical profile to an individual player, open its properties and then select the profile from the drop-down box. 

    NOTE: To assign a technical profile to an entire group of players, click the group's Edit button in the PLAYERS window . 



    Then, select the profile you wish to assign to all the players in the group from the Assign Profile drop-down box.



Player Technical Profiles contain a common set of parameters QL Server administrators and authorized end-users can access to manage the settings for an entire group of players.


To access the Player Technical Profile settings, click Main Menu > Player Management > Technical Profile.




QL On-Premise and QL Cloud administrators can create custom profiles. Please note this requires a true Administrator account, not a user account with an administrative profile.


  1. Variable: Variables are used to redirect dynamic data feeds to individual QL Players.  This feature works with dynamic XML data feeds or HTML content. You assign keys and variables to a player in this table and the matching data or web page will be shown. Click here for additional details.


  1. AQUAJI Marketing Analytics: QL Players can launch content triggered by the Navori AQUAJI computer vision software. You must generate a valid AQUAJI data feed URL and enter it in this field. Once this step is complete, your QL Player will be able to trigger content based on AQUAJI's data.


  1. Display Control: By default, the screens are programmed to follow the on/off schedule set in the Player’s Technical Profile.  You can override this setting for each player by selecting the “Override” option and then selecting the on and off times for each day of the week.

NOTE: Users who have access to the player properties can override any player’s preprogrammed display on/off times by selecting the Display Control Override check box.  This unlocks the screen event table where they can change each player’s screen on and off period.  Clicking the plus (+) button and selecting the check box to the right of the time fields will add a “screen on” command.  Click the minus (-) button and leave the check box empty to create a “screen off” command.


If no override is created, or if the Display Control Override box is left unchecked, the screens will follow the on/off settings programmed in the selected player technical profile.



NOTE: You can set multiple display on/off times to any day. Simply click the "+" box to the left of the day to add a new selection, then enter the on-off times for each one.


Example:



Screen 3


  1. Diagnostic: This table shows diagnostic information retrieved from the device QL Player is running on.  This is a "snapshot" of the current state of the PC or other device.  Refer to this information for troubleshooting or maintenance purposes. To refresh the information on this page, click the Update button (#10) below the table.


  1. Update: This button refreshes the data in the Diagnostic table (9) and also takes a new frame shot of the content currently being displayed on the player's screen. The image appears to the right of the Diagnostic table.


  1. Export: Click this button to generate and download a CSV file with the diagnostic information. TIP: Use this feature to grab technical data that you can upload with your Navori support ticket.


  1. Reset: This button resets the QL Player software on the device, restoring it to it's "newly installed" state. All content and programming will be deleted from the device and the initial media will be shown on screen until a new program is published. TIP: It may be useful to perform a reset when a player misbehaves as the device will receive a fresh batch of files. 


  1. Reboot: This button forces the player device to restart.


Screen 4



  1. License information: This section has only one editable field: Serial Number.  The serial number is assigned by Navori through its extranet.  You can only use one serial number per playback device, however, serial numbers can be transferred from one device to another as long as the software is uninstalled from the original device.


  1. License add-ons: the list on the right shows all available add-on modules.  Modules are activated through the Navori Extranet.  Each module selected in the list (checked-off) is installed and active.  Unchecked boxes indicate add-ons that have not been purchased and activated.  These boxes cannot be checked by the user.  They simply indicate which features have been enabled.


  1. System information: This table reports on various technical specifications retrieved from the device QL Player is running on.  The information will vary depending on the type of hardware used, operating system, etc…

  2. Reset the license: This button is only to be clicked in the event you wish to transfer a license from one player to another.  Once clicked, the license will become “discoverable” again by a new QL Player and you will be able to activate the software on your new device using the same license number.

  3. Media Player Serial: You can enter the media player hardware serial number in the last field.  Simply click in the field and enter the alpha-numeric information for future reference.  This step is optional.
