Setting GeoRegions

OnSign TV offers features to trigger and limit Content playback to GeoRegions. For example Content can be triggered when crossing a geographic delimitation. For this purpose, you need to define the areas beforehand.

  1. In your OnSign TV account, select "Geographic Regions" from the menu.
  2. Click on the “New” button in the top-left corner.
  3. Name the region and draw the area on the map.
    • Search for a country, state, city, or other places by typing in the text field on the map.
    • Use the zoom in and out button on the top-left of the map to adjust the map section. Alternatively, you can roll the mouse’s scroll wheel.
    • Use the tools on the top-right to draw on the map. With the arrows button you can slide around the image. The circle allows to mark average areas by once clicking at a center and then drawing a radius of the circle. But we recommend the polygon tool (indicated by the triangle) if you intend to determine concise and irregular areas. With the polygon tool, you start with a click on the mouse and draw lines. Each click is another anchor point. Finish with a complete area.
    • Once you have completed a full drawing, you can move corners of the cutout by double-clicking on it. Then edit the cutout by clicking on a corner, dragging the appearing dots to adjust the shape, and then releasing it.
    • Right-click on a layer to delete it and begin a new drawing.
    • It is possible to have several areas marked as one GeoRegion.
  4. Hit “Save” when done.
  5. You can already set this region to play back a triggered Content. Create as many regions as you need. To create new GeoRegions click on the "New" button and repeat the process.
