How BDigital works: from design to screen
Every BDigital screen follows the same simple path: something to show, somewhere to show it, and a plan for when it plays. Here's how the pieces fit together.

The building blocks
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Design | A page (or several pages) you build in the designer — text, images, video, shapes and animation. Pick a Landscape, Portrait, Social, Video Wall or Banner format to match your screen. |
| Asset | An image or video in your media library. Assets can go straight into a playlist without needing a design. |
| Location | A group of screens, such as “Reception” or “Bar”. Create one before you pair a device. |
| Device | A physical BDigital screen player, paired to your account using the code it shows on screen. |
| Playlist | An ordered list of designs, images and videos. Each item has its own runtime and transition. |
| Schedule | Which playlist plays on which days and between which times. |
| Push | Sending a schedule to one or more devices, now or at a set time. The Content Delivery page shows progress. |
Your first-run checklist
- Create a design in the format that matches your screen, add some text and save it.
- Create a location, then pair your device with the code shown on the screen.
- Create a playlist and add your design to it.
- Create a schedule and add the playlist for the days and times you want.
- Push the schedule to your device and watch it go live.
Tip: you can build designs and playlists before your screen arrives. Pairing the device is the only step that needs the hardware powered on and online.
