Ditto Adds Digital Signage Zones, Display Takeovers, YouTube Signage

The takeover begins now. Three major Ditto digital signage updates help you bring the right signage to the right moment.

This release gives your organization the ability to:

• Pause regular signage and instantly push special content to your screens

• Create information hubs using multi-zone digital signage layouts

• Stream live or on-demand YouTube videos as digital signage

Display takeover

The new digital signage takeover feature lets you instantly pause your signage and temporarily replace it with priority content for any moment. Use it to broadcast morning announcements, stream live events via YouTube or display special event signage.

When the takeover ends, your regularly scheduled signage returns. You never have to worry about losing, replacing or resetting your evergreen signage content.

Apply a takeover to every screen in your organization or to specific screens in certain spaces. Display takeovers give you the ability to stay nimble and quickly show digital signage that makes sense for the moment.

Digital signage zones

New digital signage layouts allow you to split your displays into multiple customizable content zones.

Previously, signage items appeared full screen and rotated one at a time. You can still do that, but now we’ve added the ability to keep content fixed on the screen as other items continue to rotate in and out, allowing you to turn any digital sign into an information hub.

Signage zones allow you to display up to five different pieces of content at once, including images, videos, scrolling text, logos, weather and more.

YouTube digital signage

You can now include live or on-demand YouTube videos as part of your digital signage. Ditto users can still stream YouTube videos from their devices to Ditto-enabled displays, but now organizations and teams can also include them directly in their digital signage flow.

Play a recorded presentation, a looping product demo or a livestream. The choice is yours.
