Broadsign Creator ad copies enable you to display Broadsign Creator messages on your players.
For more information about this feature, see Broadsign Creator.
For general information about ad copies, see Ad Copies.
Note: Any message created in Broadsign Creator will be fetched in advance, as soon as the player becomes aware of it. Then the player will play the message back directly from its local disk.
To add a Broadsign Creator ad copy, use one of the following methods:
- Go to the Schedules ribbon and select the arrow on the “Ad Copy” icon. Then, from the drop-down menu, select Creator.
- From the resource tabs on the left, select “Ad Copies”. Then, right-click anywhere in the work area. From the contextual menu, select New, then select Creator Ad Copy.
By default, the Add Creator Ad Copy Wizard contains the following pages:
- Welcome: Name the Broadsign Creator ad copy.
Note: You need to ensure that the duration of your Creator ad copy, in Broadsign Administrator, aligns with its duration in Broadsign Creator. Imagine that you schedule your Creator ad copy to a campaign or bundle, in Broadsign Administrator, with a duration of 60 seconds. However, you originally set the message duration in Broadsign Creator to 120 seconds. The duration of the message in Broadsign Creator will override the duration in Broadsign Administrator. As a result, the ad copy will play for 120 seconds.
To edit a Broadsign Creator ad copy, use the same method used for standard ad copies. See Edit Ad Copy Properties.
