Content Management

Great content is at the heart of every successful digital signage network. Whether you're managing a single screen or thousands of displays across multiple locations, Imagine makes it easy to upload, organise, schedule and publish content with confidence. Our content management system (CMS) has been designed to simplify monitoring and managing content effeciently with the flexibility needed by larger organisations. From drag-and-drop uploads to advanced media libraries and playlist management, every feature has been developed with ease of use in mind.

What types of content can I display?

Imagine supports a wide range of content formats, allowing you to create engaging and dynamic digital displays.

Supported media includes:

  • Images (JPG, PNG and more)
  • Videos
  • PowerPoint presentations
  • PDF documents
  • Web pages
  • HTML content
  • Live dashboards
  • Content widgets

Can I upload videos?

Absolutely. We accept Mp4, Mov and AVI File formats

Can I upload PowerPoint presentations?

Unfortunately not

Can I display PDF documents?

Yes, PDF file formats are compatible

Can I display websites on my screens?

Yes, with the use of the "Website" content widget.

Can I organise my content into folders?

Absolutely, users can create folders, sub folders, etc... As your media library grows, organisation becomes increasingly important.

Filtering content is easy as well;

  • date of upload,
  • who uploaded it,
  • file format,
  • file size,
  • alphabetical

A well-organised library saves time and makes content management far more efficient.

Can I search for media?

Yes, finding content should never be a frustrating experience.

Imagine includes a powerful search function that allows you to quickly locate media by filename, keyword or folder, even if your library contains thousands of files.

Can I preview media before publishing?

Yes. Before publishing any content, you can preview your media to ensure everything appears exactly as expected. Test transitions, media playback time and overall playlist flow. This helps minimise mistakes and gives you confidence that your content is ready to be displayed across your screens.

Can I upload content from my mobile phone?

Yes, Imagine's CMS can be accessed from your mobile phone, tablet or computer, allowing you to upload and manage content wherever you are. All features are incredibly mobile friendly.

Can multiple users upload content?

Yes.

Multiple users can work within the same account, each with their own permissions.

For example, your marketing department can upload promotional campaigns whilst branch managers update local content relevant to their own locations.

This collaborative approach keeps content current whilst maintaining appropriate levels of control.

Is there a limit to how much content I can upload?

Our platform is designed to support businesses of all sizes.

Whether you're managing a handful of images or an extensive media library containing thousands of files, Imagine has been built to scale alongside your organisation.

If you have particularly large storage requirements, our team can recommend the most suitable solution for your deployment.

Can I upload multiple files at once?

Yes.

Rather than uploading content one file at a time, you can upload multiple files simultaneously.

This significantly speeds up the process of adding new campaigns, seasonal promotions or complete content libraries.

Simply select your files and let Imagine handle the rest.

Can I drag and drop my files?

Yes.

Uploading content is designed to be as simple as possible.

Simply drag your files into the media library and Imagine will begin uploading them automatically.

There's no complicated process or unnecessary steps, allowing you to spend less time managing content and more time creating effective campaigns.

Can I organise content by client or location?

Absolutely.

This is particularly useful for agencies, franchises and organisations managing multiple locations.

You can organise content according to:

  • Client
  • Branch
  • Store
  • Region
  • Country
  • Department
  • Brand
  • Campaign

This structure makes it much easier to locate the correct content and reduces the risk of publishing media to the wrong screens.

Can I schedule content as I upload it?

Yes.

You can upload content and immediately schedule when it should start and stop playing.

This is ideal for time-sensitive promotions, seasonal campaigns, product launches and events.

Once scheduled, Imagine automatically takes care of the rest, ensuring your content appears at exactly the right time.

Can I reuse existing content?

Of course.

There's no need to upload the same file multiple times.

Once media has been added to your library, it can be reused across multiple playlists, campaigns and screens.

This saves both time and storage whilst ensuring consistency across your digital signage network.

Can I delete or archive old content?

Yes.

Keeping your media library organised is simple.

Outdated campaigns and expired promotions can easily be deleted or archived, helping you maintain a clean and manageable content library without affecting active playlists.

How is my content stored?

Your media is securely managed within the Imagine platform before being distributed to your selected screens.

Each player downloads the content it needs and stores it locally, ensuring reliable playback even if the internet connection is temporarily unavailable.

This approach combines the convenience of cloud management with the reliability of local playback.

How easy is it to update content?

Updating content couldn't be simpler.

Whether you're changing a restaurant menu, launching a nationwide retail promotion or replacing a single image, updates can be completed in just a few clicks.

Once published, Imagine automatically distributes your content to the selected screens, ensuring every location displays the latest information.

For businesses with multiple sites, this means you can update hundreds of displays in minutes without leaving your desk.
