The Ad Cycle feature in Play Digital Signage revolutionizes ad management by allowing users to create dynamic advertising schedules within playlists. Ideal for those selling ads, this tool also benefits content creators seeking efficient playback control. Each ad slide can be set to play a specific number of times per cycle (e.g., 10 showings) at a defined duration (e.g., 20 seconds per showing). To complete the cycle, add filler slides - custom content that fills the remaining time when ads aren’t running. For example, with a 20-showings/10-sec ad and a 5-showings/20-sec ad in an hourly cycle, you get 300 seconds (5 minutes) of ads, leaving 55 minutes where your filler slides will be showing. This ensures continuous, engaging displays, boosting ad revenue and user experience with seamless automation.
