Chapter 2 Using DMPDM
Configuring Settings
Screen Rotation Angle
(clockwise)
Indicates whether you have rotated the HTML content plane and shows the amount of rotation. You
might choose to rotate the HTML content plane if you have rotated your DMP display.
The rotation feature applies only to content that plays on the HTML content plane. To play video
vertically, you must first encode it vertically.
Browser Alpha Channel
Transparency (0-255)
Note Although this setting might look identical to a setting described in the “Adjusting the
Transparency of the HTML Content Plane” section on page 2-15, they are different. You
use this setting to configure transparency for the browser.
The amount of transparency that you configure for all content that your DMP shows in the
embedded browser. Values can range from 0 to 255, where:
• 0 — Content in the browser is completely transparent.
• 255 — Content in the browser is completely opaque.
Splash Screen Display
Time (milliseconds)
Indicates in milliseconds how long the splash screen persists on your DMP display when you start
or restart your DMP.
Screen Resolution
Autodetection (requires
DMP Display
Autodetection)
Indicates whether screen resolution detection is enabled. You can enable this feature only after you
have enabled the feature to autodetect DMP display attributes (which is available from the DMP
Display Attributes page). If you want to set the browser resolution manually, you must disable
this feature.
Maximum Detected
Screen Width (in pixels)
Indicates the HTML content pane width in pixels, if you are using the autodetected maximum
width. Permitted values range from 640 to 1920. You might want to change this value if you know
that your DMP display supports widths greater than the default value of 1366, but 1366 is the
autodetected width. You can edit this value only if you selected Enabled from the Screen Resolution
Autodetection list.
Maximum Detected
Screen Height (in
pixels)
Indicates the HTML content pane height in pixels, if you are using the autodetected maximum
height. Permitted values range from 480 to 1080. You might want to change the value of you know
that your DMP display supports heights greater than the default value of 768, but 768 is the
autodetected height. You can edit this value only if you selected Enabled from the Screen
Resolution Autodetection list.
HDMI-detected Screen
Resolution (in pixels)
Indicates in real time the width and height in pixels that the attached DMP display is showing, if
you selected Enabled from the Screen Resolution Autodetection list and if your DMP uses an
HDMI cable to attach to its DMP display.
Tip Cisco content creation guidelines for digital signage assume that the screen resolution
width is 1366 pixels and the screen resolution height is 768 pixels. If the autodetected
values are different than these, we strongly recommend that you:
1. Select DMP Display Attributes.
2. From the DMP Display Autodetection (requires HDMI) list, select Disabled.
3. From the Display Standard list, select VESA_1360x768x60.
4. From the Interface (DMP display output) list, select HDMI.
These selections will apply 1360 and 768 as the width and height values to use,
respectively, ensuring that your content for digital signage works as designed — despite the
trivial 6-pixel deviation in the width value, as compared to the content creation guidelines.
