The Carousel Quick Start Guide is intended for the installer and administrator
of your Carousel system. This guide will cover initial setup of your Carousel
Server. A full version of the manual, Carousel: The Manual, is accessible from
our website or on the CD that was shipped with your Server.
This guide is not intended for end users who will simply create bulletins on
the system.
Since every system ships with the software pre-installed, this guide does not
cover installation of the software on a new system.
Physically installing your Carousel server into your location is outlined in
this guide and fully covered in the Tightrope Server Installation Guide which
can be found on our website.
Carousel is divided into two product families: Server and Solo.
Products in the Carousel Server family operate as the center of a digital
signage network. They manage multiple channels of information from a
single web interface and can accommodate multiple users with varying levels
of access. There are three products in the server family: Carousel Server,
Carousel Pro and Carousel Enterprise. Carousel servers are designed to work
with networked players to display content, however the standard Carousel
Server can display a single channel of content.
Products in the Carousel Solo family, include the Solo 220 and Solo 300R.
These machines operate as either stand-alone digital signage systems or as
players within a system controlled by one of the servers in the Carousel
Server product family. In stand-alone mode, the Solos include everything
required for a single channel of digital signage—just add monitors and
cabling. However, Solos only provide one administrator account and one
user account and can not communicate with other Carousel Solos for message
sharing.
In short, the following is a list of Carousel's hardware possibilities. . .
