Designing a Multi-server Environment

Administrators can assign a role: main server, site server or backup server. The backup server will restore files and take over as soon as the main server fails, while the site server, installed at a branch office, can share the workload between servers. Building a multi-server architecture ensures centralized and/or decentralized management, flexible network planning, bandwidth saving, content backup, and non-stop services. It is the best solution for you to develop a personalized network planning and achieve a stable long-term operation.

Five-Layer Group Management

Administrators can create a maximum of five-layer groups to manage all SMP players systematically in two major aspects: content updates and task scheduling. CMS server will centrally control the playlists of all media players and synchronize content automatically to all players in groups. You can set the priority for each schedule in different layers to accommodate your need.

CMS-SE lets administrators create up to five layers of SMP player groups to manage content updates and task scheduling systematically

Access Detailed Information of SMP Players Efficiently

Administrators can check the details of system information, log records, and content update status of multiple SMP players without logging in the user interface of each SMP player one by one.

Perform Time-Saving Batch Configuration

Configurations, such as multimedia playback, local schedule and system settings, can be synchronized between the benchmark player and all the other selected players simultaneously.

Monitor Live Status of
Multimedia Playback

Administrators can check the screenshots of a maximum of 15 SMP players per page simultaneously, receiving instant updates of each SMP player.

Efficient Management of Multiple Digital Signage Players

CMS-SE can control up to 4000 SMP players simultaneously*. All SMP players connecting to the CMS server can be monitored through the server’s web-based user interface. Instead of configuring media players one by one, you can manage all of them at the same time. Administrators can also locate SMP players on Google Maps when SMP players activate the location/GPS function. And what’s more, CMS can work with CAYIN Signage Assistant, a free Android and iOS app, for administrators to manage multiple digital signage projects via mobile devices anytime, anywhere. *Depending on the type of license purchased

Intuitive Scheduling Management

2 viewing modes for playback scheduling: calendarand timetable

You can insert a one-time event or arrange periodic tasks based on daily, weekly, monthly or yearly timescales for all SMP players in groups. Location-based scheduling is also doable to largely increase the flexibility. SMP players will playback multimedia content automatically based on the schedule assigned by the CMS server. CMS provides two viewing modes, calendar and timetable, for you to facilitate schedule management.
