Another feature within the Playlist Creator (Content - Playlist - Create/ Edit) in your network is the ability to add a Capture Card to your playlist.

Please Note:

The Capture Card Control asset is not supported on Tizen/SSP player types when configured into a Portrait Orientation

Whether you want to display Live TV in a zone on your Layout, show it full screen at a scheduled time, or even trigger it in Real Time, the Capture Card asset can display the HDMI Input.

Please Note:

The Capture Card asset will only work on Players that support HDMI input with Signagelive. For devices that support this feature, please see this link

If you would like to add a Capture Card to your playlist, then you must carry out the following steps:

  1. Start by logging in to your Signagelive network as an Admin or User.

  2. Select Content.

  3. Select Playlists > Create/ Edit. Locate the Control Assets folder in the left-hand sidebar of your screen. Enter this folder to find the Capture Card asset.

  4. Drag the Capture Card asset into your playlist,

  5. Once the Capture Card Asset is in your playlist, you can set your Duration, Validity, Recurrence, and Conditions like any other asset.

  6. You can now Save and Publish your Playlist. The Capture Card Asset will display the default HDMI input.

Please Note:

Duration is essential when using the Capture card asset. Set it to the length you wish your content to appear on screen or configure it to be greater than one minute when your content duration is less defined

For example:

If you were showing an event that lasted 90 minutes, you could apply a 90-minute duration to your Capture Card asset
