Emergency notices on every screen, in one click

An evacuation, a closure or an important warning. Switch on the emergency program you prepared in advance and screens move to it without waiting in line.

Ready in advance, live in an instant

The emergency program is kept apart from your normal programs. Prepare its content on a calm day: evacuation directions, a closure notice or an information message.

When you switch it on, it replaces normal playback on all screens or the ones you choose. Switch it off and the screens go back to normal playback.

  • All screens or selected screens
  • Goes out at once, without waiting for normal deployments
  • Normal playback returns when you switch it off

How to use the emergency program

  1. Prepare the emergency content in advance: large, readable text and, if needed, a direction arrow.
  2. Set up the emergency program and add the content.
  3. When needed, switch the emergency on for all screens or the ones you choose. Screens leave normal playback.
  4. When the situation is over, switch it off and normal playback comes back.

In large installations normal deployments go out gradually. Emergency changes skip that queue and reach connected screens at once.

Good to know

For the emergency program to appear instantly, the screen must be connected to the server at that moment. Watch which screens are online on the dashboard and set up alerts for offline screens.

Today the emergency program is switched on by hand in the panel. Automatic triggering from a fire alarm or public address system can be built for your installation.

Notices on screens are for information and do not replace your building's official alarm and announcement systems. Review the emergency content regularly and try it during a drill.

Decide in advance who may switch on the emergency program, and make sure those people know how to sign in to the panel. Hunting for a password in a crisis costs precious minutes.
