Screen settings

Introduction

Every screen in the Platform has its own settings panel. These screen-level settings define defaults that apply to every slide on that screen unless a per-slide override is set.

Opening screen settings

Find the panel:

• Sign in to app.infoboxi.com.
• Open All screens (FI: Kaikki näytöt) from the side menu.
• Click the screen you want to configure.
• Click Screen settings (FI: Näytön asetukset) in the editor.

Available settings

Configure the following:

• Width / Height (FI: Leveys / Korkeus): the screen's resolution in pixels. Default: 1920×1080.
• Screen direction (FI: Näytön suunta): Landscape (Vaaka, default), Upside down (Ylösalaisin, 180°), Portrait left (Pysty vasen, 90° counterclockwise), Portrait right (Pysty oikea, 90° clockwise).
• Slide duration (FI: Vaihtoaika): default seconds per slide. Per-slide overrides win.
• Transition speed (FI: Siirtymä nopeus): the fade between slides, in milliseconds.
• Compatibility mode (FI: Yhteensopivuustila): limit the video resolution served to this screen. See the section below.
• Forced output size (FI: Pakotettu kuva-alue): for LED walls whose sending card crops the signal. See the section below.
• Screen description (FI: Näytön kuvaus): internal notes (location, purpose). Not shown to viewers.
• Screen group (FI: Näyttö ryhmä): which group(s) the screen belongs to. See Screen Groups for what groups actually do.

Choosing the right orientation

Match the screen direction setting to your physical display:

• Vaaka (landscape) is the default and right for most installations.
• Pysty vasen / Pysty oikea: pick based on which side of the physical display is the top after rotating.
• Ylösalaisin is rare. Use it when the display is mounted upside down.
• After changing orientation, your slides automatically adjust. If the content was designed for the wrong orientation, edit each slide's rotation (see Slide settings).

Compatibility mode: limit video resolution

Some Android devices can't decode very high-resolution video: a 4K file may show as a black screen even though everything else plays fine. Compatibility mode fixes this per screen:

• Open Screen settings and tick Limit video resolution (FI: Rajoita videoiden tarkkuutta) under Compatibility mode.
• Pick the cap: 1440p, 1080p (default), 720p, or 480p.
• Videos are served to this screen at the selected resolution at most. Image files and other content aren't affected.
• The setting takes effect immediately. It's a device capability setting, so no publish is needed.
• Your original uploads stay untouched: the Platform serves a smaller version to this screen only.

Forced output size: LED walls with a sending card

Some LED walls are driven by a sending card that crops the HDMI signal to the panel's real pixel grid instead of scaling it. Forced output size (FI: Pakotettu kuva-alue) makes the player draw content into exactly that rectangle:

• Open Screen settings and tick Force output size, under Compatibility mode.
• Enter the wall's real pixel width and height (1 to 8192 each). The fields are pre-filled with the resolution the device currently outputs.
• Content is drawn into a box of that size in the top-left corner of the output, and the rest is left black, so nothing is cut off or squashed.
• Unlike Compatibility mode, this is a draft: click Publish on the screen for it to take effect. It reshapes every slide, so it isn't applied mid-day by accident.
• Leave it off for normal TVs and monitors.

Renaming the screen

Use a descriptive name from day one:

• Click the rename button (FI: Vaihda nimi) at the top of the screen editor.
• Enter a clear, location-based name (e.g. "Aulan näyttö", "Kahvilan näyttö", "Helsinki ravintola 1").
• Click Save (FI: Tallenna).
• Good names save hours when you have more than 5 screens.

Summary

Screen settings cover resolution, orientation, default slide duration, transition speed, compatibility mode, and group membership. Per-slide settings override the screen-level defaults where they conflict.
