PosterBooking is a digital signage app that lets you display virtually any content on any screen. This screen can either be a smart screen or a regular one with a Fire Stick attached, as the PosterBooking app must be installed. In this guide, we’ll show you how to use the channels feature to display two images side-by-side or stacked vertically on a single screen.
Step 1: Connect Your Screen
- Open the PosterBooking app on your device.
- Navigate to Add Screen and tap Add Screen again.
- On your first setup, the app will display a unique code.
- Enter the code, assign a name to your screen, and select Add Screen.
- Your screen is now connected.
Example: You might name your screen “Office Display” or “Event Board.”
Step 2: Upload Your Images
- Go to the Content section and choose Images/Videos.
- Upload the two images you want to display.
- Ensure the aspect ratios of both images are considered:
- If displayed vertically, split the screen in half.
- For side-by-side images, ensure both images have equal width proportions.
Pro Tip: Use an image editor to resize your images before uploading for a seamless fit.
Step 3: Create Playlists
- Go to Playlists and create two separate playlists:
- Playlist One for your first image.
- Playlist Two for your second image.
- Add your content to each playlist:
- For Playlist One, add the first image.
- For Playlist Two, add the second image.
- Double-check the playlists to ensure no extra content is added by mistake.
Step 4: Set Up a Channel with a Split Layout
- Navigate to the Channels section and create a new channel:
- Name the channel something descriptive, such as “Two Images.”
- Choose a Split Layout:
- Vertically Split for side-by-side images.
- Horizontally Split for stacked images.
- Assign playlists to each section:
- For the left bar (or top bar), select Playlist One.
- For the right bar (or bottom bar), select Playlist Two.
- Save the channel.
Step 5: Assign the Channel to Your Screen
- Go back to the Screens section and locate your connected screen.
- Tap the plus (+) button under the screen to edit its channels.
- Select your newly created channel (e.g., “Two Images”) and hit Save.
- Your screen will now display both images simultaneously, based on your chosen layout.
