Board vs screen vs player

The four product terms that make setup and troubleshooting much easier.

  • Board — the editable design/content in Canvas Relay.
  • Scene — one timed/rotating state inside a board.
  • Screen — a paired endpoint in your organization. A screen is assigned a board and reports online/update/playback state.
  • Player — the Canvas Relay software running on the hardware and receiving published releases.
  • Device — the hardware/OS detail (Roku, Raspberry Pi, Fire TV, Android/Google TV, browser mini-PC).
  • Publish — create a complete version that assigned screens can receive. Save and Publish are different actions.
