Understanding Media Types

Your player units can display a great many types of digital content (also referred to as media).
When creating a layout, you must specify the type of media each zone will display. This enables the zone to 'play' the media
concerned. You can configure zones to support one or more of these players:
Movie player – For media such as video and TV.
l
HTML player – For media such as web pages and tables.
l
Image player – For media such as graphics and photographs.
l
Text player – For media such as text and newsfeeds.
l
In addition to those media types, you can add audio to a layout using the Soundtrack feature (see
details).
The iCC provides many features for setting up and managing the media items you want to use. It is important to understand
how the iCC handles groups of media differently depending on their types and characteristics:
