7 The MagicInfo Premium S Process
The user creates content, by taking standard computer content files and uploading them to the MagicInfo Server, or building them into a dynamic multi-zone layout using the MagicInfo Web Author or Premium Author. The user then can utilize the browser-based interface provided by the server to manage the uploaded content, and assign it to various schedules. Schedules are then assigned to LFDs, and the server publishes them over the network, or via the Internet, to the LFD’s SoC (internal storage or PC). Content is stored there for playback. The MagicInfo Premium S Player software then begins playback of the scheduled content.

8 Key MagicInfo Premium S Features

9 The MagicInfo Server The MagicInfo Server is a browser-based software system that manages and controls content and devices, allowing the user to organize and publish content. The MagicInfo Server is on-premise software (self hosted) using a Windows based PC. The user accesses this software from a standard web browser, connecting to the server PC over the network, or the Internet. Because the system is designed to be web based, a user can connect to the server and interact with it remotely. MagicInfo Server supports multiple LFDs across multiple sites, with multiple users, and does so simultaneously.

10 The MagicInfo Premium Author
The user can control the standard functions of MagicInfo from the Server’s web interface, and Web Author. The MagicInfo Premium Author is a powerful Windows-based application that goes beyond those functions, providing the ability to create more advanced, complex, and dynamic layouts. The MagicInfo Premium Author can be installed by any number of users, locally on their PCs.

11 SoC – Making Embedded Digital Signage Possible!
Samsung SoC (System on a Chip) eliminates the need for a media player, and provides a platform for software deployment for digital signage. CPU 1GHz Quad Core Processor (S3) 1.3GHz Quad Core Processor (S4) 1.7GHz Quad Core Processor (S5/S6) Memory 1.5GB DDR3 (S3) 2.5GB DDR3 (S4) 3.0GB DDR3 (S5/S6) Video Processor Full Codec, High Performance WMV, MP4, H.264, H.265 Storage 8GB SSD (4GB Available to User)

12 MagicInfo Premium S Networking
The MagicInfo Premium S system is designed to be operated over a network, (wired or wireless) using standard TCP/IP communications. One or more LFDs are connected to the network, along with a user supplied PC, that has the MagicInfo Server installed. This software is a web server utility, containing all necessary components, and provides the user interface via web page to users connected to the network, from their own PCs using a web browser. LFDs receive commands, content, and schedules from the server, over the network. All content and schedules are stored on the server PC. Multiple users can access the server at the same time. Multiple LFDs can be on the same network, and each is independent. MagicInfo LFD 5 MagicInfo Server PC LAN LFD 4 LFD 1 LFD 2 LFD 3

13 MagicInfo Premium S Networking
MagicInfo also offers the ability to control multiple LFDs spanning multiple sites, from a single server, and tie them together into a single system. This requires the use of an Internet connection at each site, with the Internet connecting the MagicInfo Server to all LFDs, to issue control, scheduling, and content. Users at each site can connect to the server software user interface from the web browser of their local PCs.

14 MagicInfo Content MagicInfo is designed to allow the user to show content from the networked MagicInfo Server PC on the LFD on their own, as well as using them in the creation of advanced templates using the Web Author or Premium Author. MagicInfo Premium S allows the use of many types of content files: Photos and image files Music (audio) files Movie (video) files Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) files Adobe Flash and PDF files HTML content as a live URL or offline as a .ZIP RSS / MRSS feeds External video inputs Directly linked database sources (using optional DataLink add-on) IPTV streams

15 MagicInfo Premium S Stand Alone
There are some applications where a network to connect the Samsung LFD and a server PC is not possible. In those instances, the user can make use of MagicInfo Premium S as a stand alone device. When used stand alone, without being networked to a MagicInfo Server, the user can manage digital signage directly on the LFD by using the IR remote control: Play content files directly from the on-screen menus. Create basic schedules for content play back. Review network published schedules.
