The HDMI Input App is a simple, yet powerful feature allowing you to present on full screen or in a screen region any video source such as a live TV receiver, cable box, security camera, DVD, video games, and more!

Configure your HDMI Input App in a few simple steps:

  1. In your App library (Creating an App), type in "HDMI" or select the “Other” category and choose "HDMI Input".

  2. Name the App and select the correct HDMI input in case your hardware device has more than one.

  3. Save the App.

That is all you need to display live TV alongside your digital signage content! Just add the App to your Campaign timeline or publish it directly in full screen.

NOTE: If you play HDMI input video together with other content, make sure you display solely a single video content at a time. Some devices don’t handle multiple video sources simultaneously well.
