The designer module allows users to quickly create content for their digital signage screens or banners for a Web site. We have created a simple set of tools which if used creatively can produce content which is easily managed and published. The designer is used exclusivley for still images and no animation options are available.
If you require your content to use animation you will need this content to be created for you. Our Windows media player supports both Silverlight and Adobe flash. Power point is also a very useful tool should you require animation, simple create your presentation and using the export tools of powerpoint create a video file. Upload the file and publish.
The great advantage of using the built in designer is that it uses vector based objects which translates into a very small file size with exceptional results on screen producing crisp and clean presentation.
