Visual Venue is Agile Ticketing's all-in-one digital signage solution. You can use Visual Venue to set up stationary concessions displays, dynamic theater-specific displays, and even a revolving list of full-size movie posters. You can find all of our offerings for these features in our hardware catalog on page 16 at https://www.agiletix.com/hardware. Below we will explore how to set up your digital displays and show relevant content in your venue.
The first step to getting your screens up and running is to make sure they are either equipped with a Fire TV stick or are Fire TV compatible. Fire TV 4K Max is the recommended device to host our ATS Digital Signage app, but it is not required. Any device using Fire OS 7 or newer should be fine.
Once you have downloaded the ATS Digital Signage app for your Fire Device and opened it, the login screen will ask for your Domain and Connect code.
You will find that information in the Agile Ticketing Portal. Go to Settings in the main menu. Under the Websites and Apps area, click on the option for Digital Signage. This will provide your current list of signage options along with the Domain and Connect Code as shown below.
After signing in, you will see all of your ready-to-use signage options that have been set up as shown below.
If you pick any single option such as Ticket Prices, Concessions Menu, or Upcoming Shows, the display will only show that sign to your customers. If you select the Group Rotate option under any group, then this display will cycle through all of the signage options in that group. Once selected the app will remember all of these settings and return to them after a loss of power.
If any changes need to be made to this display, scroll down to the Settings area and select Display Settings.
You will then see a menu of settings for this display.
All of these have drop-down lists of options to pick from. They function as follows:
Refresh Interval - This setting controls how often the display will check for updates and, when Group Rotate is selected, how often it will cycle from one sign in a group to the next.
Zoom - This controls the amount of zoom this display will use on the content being shown on it. This option defaults to 100% of the page's original size and allows for zooming in or out from that base.
Screen Orientation - The only two options here are Landscape and Portrait. Landscape should be used with displays oriented horizontally (wider than they are tall), and Portrait should be used with displays oriented vertically (taller than they are wide). If you are using the display to rotate between movie posters, you will most likely need to use the Portrait orientation.
App Info - This shows which version of the app is being used by this display. It is just for informational use and cannot be adjusted.
