Add a Player in Broadsign Control

To use a Player in Broadsign Control for System on Chip, you must first add it in Broadsign Control Administrator.

Note: Any timestamps included in the playlists will use the timezone configured in Broadsign Control Administrator for the related Display Units. It is essential to ensure that the correct timezone is configured. If no timezone is set, the server will default to GMT+0 for the start and end date of campaigns, schedules, and opening hours under that Display Unit. Different Display Units can be set to different timezones if needed. For more information, see Timezone.

Warning: Perform this step in-house before shipping your device to its installation location, if applicable, because you need physical access to it.
