In the OnSign TV App Library (Creating an App), you will find the category "Text and Scrollers". These are ideal for displaying short messages which need to be updated quickly. Check out the available Apps below:
Rich Text Widget
This app is totally customizable! Change background and font color, font size, line height, alignment, and page margin. You can apply different settings to specific text parts separately.
This App resizes automatically to fit any screen area. Just remember checking the “Auto-fit text size” box, so that the whole content is adjusted to the new area.
Always preview the App and test how it looks published on a device before launching it to your entire network.
Vertical Text Ticker, Text Ticker and Text Scroller
Sentences roll across the screen with the Text Scroller App or are shown as a one-liner in horizontal or vertical orientation. To separate lines of text, just begin a new line in the text box of the App settings.
Transitions in both Text Ticker Apps can be animated into a fading transition by checking the "Animate text transition" box. The speed of the Text Scroller App is adjustable to be faster or slower.
Keep the size of your screen in mind when writing your text. The longer the sentence, the smaller the font.
Note: Capslock is the only text format available for the Vertical Text Ticker.
Message App
The Message App takes input from a Data Feed. If your Data Feed is an external source, you can change the message without even needing to access your OnSign TV account.
The Message App is color coded by degree of importance. Assign up to 3 different accent colors for the message. The labels can be edited to your needs. By default the labels and colors are important with a red color, warning with a yellow color, and attention with a blue color.
QR Code
Invite your audience to discover more information on their mobile, right from your screen! QR codes make calls-to-action much more effective by redirecting users straight to a website URL. You just need to paste the URL or message you want to display into the App settings. For more on the QR Code App read here.
Besides text Apps which are covered in this section, the OnSign TV platform has plenty more text-centric Apps to offer in the Menu Boards & Tables category, e.g. for tables or directories.
