Scenes & scheduling

A board is a playlist of scenes. Each scene has its own layout, a duration, and a transition. Screens keep perfect time with each other — rotation is computed from the server clock, so two TVs side by side flip together.

The scene strip at the bottom of the editor adds, reorders, duplicates, and removes scenes. Set each scene's duration (how long it plays) and transition (crossfade, etc.). A board keeps at least one scene.

Time-of-day rules (dayparts) play a scene only during a time window — breakfast until 11am, lunch 11–3, dinner after 3. Outside their window, scheduled scenes drop out of the rotation automatically. Times use your organization's timezone (Settings).

A takeover interrupts the rotation with a full-screen message — 'kitchen closing in 15 minutes' — on one board or every board at once, with an automatic expiry. Takeovers apply to screens within about 30 seconds and never require republishing.

Elements can animate in when their scene appears and carry a subtle loop animation (Playback tab — visible in Advanced mode). Keep motion slow and rare on signage; it should earn attention, not beg for it.
