Web distribution channels

Introduction With zebrix, you can create a webcast url, which you can use to transform to broadcast content, such as a playlist.

Click on the channels tab in the tab bar on the left of your screen to access the channels and screensavers page.

Then, in the channels page, to add a channel, press the “+“ button on the action buttons.

You can then choose between web channel and screen saver, in this case we're going to create a web channel.

You must then choose a meaningful name for your channel, in this case we are going to broadcast on a clickShare Barco, to find us easily in the list, we have given this name to the channel.

Our channel has now been created, but for the moment no content is being broadcast on it. We need to add 2 pieces of content, one that will be broadcast as a playlist and one as a placeholder, i.e. a fixed image that will be displayed when the broadcast limit is exceeded.

To configure the placeholder, access the hardware tools by pressing the cogwheel button located in the action buttons at the end of the line of the newly created channel.

In the hardware tools mode, at the bottom of the options panel, you can configure the number of times the playlist is broadcast each month (this number of broadcasts will also depend on your contract), with a maximum of one million broadcasts.

Below, to add a placeholder image, press the Add button.

Choose an image and confirm.

Then exit the hardware tools to return to the channel list.

Click on the image button at the end of the action buttons.

To access the panel for choosing the content to broadcast. By default, there is no end date, the playlist (or media) will play until you stop it yourself.

You can add an end date by pressing the end box. At the end of the date range you will see the placeholder or a second schedule that you can configure by clicking on the button

and to choose the playlist click on

Then choose the media or playlist to display and then confirm and exit the window.

The last step is to copy the URL of our channel. To do this, go to hardware tools, then to the computer tab, to access the url.

You can then copy the url directly from the copy direct link button and paste it into the web interface of your hardware, which will then broadcast your zebrix content. Make digital signage with your Barco ClickShare by following the linked tutorial. But you can also integrate an iframe into your website. To do this, specify the height and width of the window you want to display and copy the piece of code directly into your html page.
