The WebDT Content Manager software is designed to complement the comprehensive family of network-ready, display-integrated, computing terminals. The WebDT Content Manager is a web-based server software that provides central management of all digital signage hardware as media players, and automates the design and distribution of a wide variety of multimedia file formats into playlists. Playlists are then set into schedules and stored in a central database for distribution to the network of WebDT media players. With the WebDT Content Manager, the message to be played is assembled, scheduled, and delivered for dynamic playback over the network of displays using standard file formats and protocols. 

The WebDT Content Manager includes numerous advanced features such as device grouping, multimedia file setup and import, media playlists, single line ticker functions, urgent notification casts, scheduling with manager execution approval, email notifications, reporting, and advanced billing reports along with overall system management administrator functions. 

The Content Manager features:

Groups and Players – Segment a network into groups for easier player scheduling. For example, segment a network by geography (e.g., Southeast locations). Players are auto-discovered within the system and can then be assigned to different groups. 

Media – A wide variety of digital multimedia formats are supported. They include image files, audio files, motion videos, Adobe® Flash® files, and Microsoft PowerPoint files.

Ticker – Fully configurable and controlled from remote locations using the WebDT Content Manager’s browser-based graphical interface.
