Creating Digital Advertising Using Playlists

Fullscreen Playlists

Static JPEG or PNG images you create can easily be uploaded to the EngagePHD software and added to playlists. The images can then be scheduled where dayparting is needed. Click here for our video on using fullscreen images in a playlist.

MP4 videos are also supported in playlists. Before uploading your videos to the software, we recommend using HandBrake Video Encoder below to re-encode your videos to the optimal format for playback on your Players . Here is the direct download link HandBrake Downloads.

The Advertising Module has been designed to allow users to manage advertising content/networks in a more advanced manner than just using a standard Playlist.
