Configuration: Billboard
The Billboard feature allows you to display text and/or graphics on a TV monitor. The
displayed billboard can span multiple pages with each page displayed for a specified period of
time. Some uses of the billboard feature are to announce a daily calendar of events, directions
to a particular conference room or even a slide presentation in conjunction with displayed
video. VBrick models 62xx, 52xx and 53xx have a built in mini-browsers that support viewing
limited HTML pages. The pages can either be kept inside the VBrick as part of the file
system, or can be located on a remote HTTP server. Each page of the billboard is built using
an HTML page with text and graphics created using the HTML tags supported. If billboard is
to be supported on a remote server, the appliance requires read access to the HTTP server
and may need to be configured. The following URL example shows the default page pre-
configured by VBrick.

Using the Billboard
Billboard may be invoked in several ways. Either use the PC browser to communicate with
the VBrick Integrated Web Server (see separate section) to apply the billboard and turn it on
and off, or press the Billboard key on the optional remote control to toggle it on and off. Use
of the remote can be enabled or disabled through the configuration. Using IWS (or the
VBrick SDK) an administrator can turn on a particular billboard remotely, and prevent
anyone else from using a remote to toggle it on/off. If you have a dual decoder system, the
remote has keys to select between two decoders.
