{03 / LOCAL PLAYBACK◆}

Why it doesn't break

## Temporary internet outage? Prepared content keeps playing locally.

Each Apple TV keeps its prepared playlist on the device. During a temporary WAN interruption, cached playback can continue; new publishes and status reporting wait for connectivity.

{04 / HYBRID AV◆}

Works with the AV you already own

## Keep live TV. Add your own signage.

LIVE TELEVISION

**DIRECTV / CABLE****SMALLER MATRIX****SELECTED SCREENS**

Leave live sports and broadcast on your existing distribution. Better Signage does not control live-TV receivers or HDMI routing.

YOUR OWN MEDIA

**BETTER SIGNAGE CLOUD****APPLE TV ENDPOINTS****SIGNAGE SCREENS**

Drink specials, menus, events, and sponsor loops play from the Apple TVs behind your displays. Route them through your matrix like any other source, or hang them straight off a TV.

{05 / VENUE APPLICATIONS◆}

Unlimited screens on Free and paid plans

## Digital signage that grows screen by screen, not bill by bill.

Put Better Signage on the TVs that show your own promos. Every standard plan lets you add compatible Apple TVs without a per-screen subscription fee. Publish a playlist to the paired screens you select.

Before your first publish

## From a menu file to the room.

Prepare a short loop or a few slides, then work through the setup in your browser. You can manage your content from a phone, tablet, or computer.

### Check the hardware first

You need a compatible player running tvOS 26.5 or later, a landscape HDMI display, and internet access for installation and downloads. Open the app, enter its current pairing code in your account, and give the device a name you recognize.  [Check system requirements](https://bettersignage.io/requirements/)  and follow the  [installation guide](https://bettersignage.io/install/) .

### Choose files that are easy to read

Upload JPEG or PNG artwork, or a supported video. Keep essential text inside a landscape composition so cropping does not remove it. Conversion and checking finish before a clip can join the running order. Use short exports and adjust their time on screen in the dashboard. See the  [video optimization guide](https://bettersignage.io/video-optimization-guide/) .

### Send, then confirm in the room

Editing the draft does not change what is playing. Choose the devices you want to update and press Play. Leave them connected while they prepare the files, then check the physical displays and HDMI inputs. An online status alone cannot confirm what guests see. The  [first-playlist guide](https://bettersignage.io/support/first-playlist/)  walks through each step.
