WebDT Content Manager software is one of the primary components in the comprehensive WebDT Signage System. WebDT Content Manager's web-based server software provides central management of WebDT signage devices as media players, and automates the design and distribution of a wide variety of multi-media file formats into playlists. Playlists are then set into schedules and stored in a central database for distribution to the network of signage displays. With WebDT Content Manager, the message to be played is assembled, scheduled, and delivered for dynamic playback over a network of appliances using standard file formats and protocols.
