App updates on your schedule
Pin a maximum app version. Or block updates, or schedule them with a cron expression for after hours.
Device management
Digital signage device management for players you rarely visit.
A player bolted behind a menu board is hard to reach and easy to forget. Wallboard lets you register and configure it from the console, push its updates and troubleshoot it without a site visit. It runs on Android, Windows, BrightSign, Samsung, LG, ChromeOS and ePaper devices. Features vary by platform, and the knowledge base lists what each one supports.
How it works
From unboxed player to managed screen.
Register
Type the four-digit code that a new player shows on screen into Wallboard, or pre-register LG, Samsung or BrightSign players by serial number.
Apply a device profile
One profile sets the license type, time zone, content, folder, rotation, tags, volume, brightness and working hours of each new player as it registers.
Organize
Group devices into folders by region, site or purpose. Folder tags pass down. Teams decide who manages each folder.
Operate
Act on one device, a selection or a whole folder at once, whether that means assigning content, restarting, clearing the cache or updating the app.
Controls for large fleets.
Remote firmware updates
Push firmware from the device settings. Works on LG and Samsung devices and BrightSign players.
Working hours and staggered reboots
Switch off the display or the whole device outside working hours, and let scheduled reboots land at a random point inside a 30-minute window.
Locked players
Lock a player so nobody can exit the Wallboard app. A PIN guards the recovery menu.
Display control
Change orientation remotely, along with volume and brightness, and where the hardware allows it, switch displays over HDMI-CEC or a serial connection.
Emergency content
Assign emergency content to devices or folders. Switch it on from the console or from another system through a webhook.
Clone and move
Copy a device’s settings to its replacement. A device profile key moves players to another Wallboard server.
Video walls
Tell each player where it sits in the wall, which way it faces and what resolution it runs, and content spans the displays. Needs a higher license tier.
Everything about a device on one screen.
When a screen misbehaves, start with its Overview tab, which puts a preview of the assigned content next to the reboot schedule, the platform, and the screen’s orientation and resolution. An uptime chart sits below. It plots online time and reconnections against working hours. Further down are the software versions for the app, the OS and the firmware, then license tier, CPU, memory, storage, network details and connected displays. Commissioning and replacement dates help with asset planning.

Scheduling
Target screens by tag, folder or quick filter, and a player you add next month picks up the right content on the day it registers.
Network visibility and reporting
Offline alerts, device health charts, map view and proof-of-play reports.
Security and governance
Roles and teams, backed by single sign-on, decide who can manage which devices.
Deployment options
Our cloud, a private instance we host, or your own servers.

Device health, measured.
A slow screen can mean a failing player or a weak connection. Device Metrics charts uptime, CPU load and temperature, GPU frame rate, memory, storage, network traffic, Wi-Fi signal, warning and error counts, and application crashes over the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or a custom range. Compare two devices side by side to tell which it is.
