All EnGage digital display players are plug and play. All the player needs is power and an internet connection to automatically connect to the EnGage CMS. No setup or extra software is required. It’s completely remote  managed using EnGage. 

Knowing what your media players are doing is critical to the operation of the network. The connectivity options and tools ensure that if the players can connect, they will. 

Continuously Connected
All players connect and stay connected to EnGage without the need for polling, while using very little bandwidth. Real-time events can be sent to the players using EnGage. Screen captures and publishes occur within seconds without the need to wait for the next poll interval.  

Connectivity Options
The EnGage Player can use ethernet, wifi, or even 3/4/5G networks to connect to the internet. Custom network settings such as static IP address or wifi settings can be updated on the player using a USB key for the first time setup, or settings can be changed within EnGage.

Bandwidth Management
The Connection Schedule in the EnGage CMS can be used to set download windows or throttle bandwidth to ensure business-critical systems get the bandwidth they need.

All content, schedules, and settings are managed within the EnGage digital signage CMS and distributed to the player before playback. A connection to the CMS isn’t required to play content, only to get updates. If the internet connection is lost, playback is not affected. The player continuously retries to connect, and once it does, it gets all the updates since its last connection, all automatically. 

Knowing that your digital media players are operating is critical to the success of your network. Players automatically send health information such as any playback issues, running temperature, storage space, download bandwidth speed and much more. The EnGage tools offer full confidence that your audience is receiving the experience you’ve designed.

Screen Control
Leveraging the RS-232 screen control for commercial- grade screens is built into the player software. A serial connection between the screen and player enables monitoring that the screen is powered on, is on the correct input, and has the correct settings. Turning the screens off and on is both eco friendly and stops the content playback to ensure the most accurate play logging. 

Play Logging & Reporting
All content playback is logged, even while offline, and transferred back to EnGage so you can know exactly what has played across your network. The EnGage reporting system has lots of built-in reports that can be used to see exactly how your content playback is performing. 

Fail-safes and Auto-corrections
We all make mistakes, and sometimes the environment can be challenging. The EnGage Player software is designed to make sure the device always connects to EnGage even when mistakes are made. It can automatically fall back to known working settings or keep its last content set just in case it needs to roll back. 

Leverage the video wall arrangement tool to design a physical video wall layout and map your content onto the screens, automatically spanning the screen based on your desired physical arrangement. Whether it’s a simple two-screen video wall or up to 12 separate video outputs for more sophisticated content requirements, EnGage lets you configure a wide range of video wall options, even when using LED screens with non-standard resolutions.

While ComQi provides a standard line of players, we also provide digital display hardware to suit other use cases, such as global certifications,  wide temperature range, or all-in-one player touchscreens. Talk to your ComQi account manager about the available options. 

SDM & OPS
Cut down on cabling using one of the Smart Display Module(SDM) or Open Pluggable Module (OPS) players available. With many screen manufacturers now including SDM or OPS slots, there’s more demand for modular players. ComQi offers options that run the standard EnGage Player software, which is only limited by the module's hardware capabilities. 

Network Takeovers
The ComQi player software can run on most modern Intel-based media players. ComQi can certify the hardware to ensure it runs properly and takes advantage of the hardware playback capabilities. 

The EnGage WebPlayer is an HTML5-based digital media player software designed to run on third-party media players or SoC (system on chip) screens. It leverages many of the EnGage player software's powerful features such as continuous connection, device management, store-and-play content distribution, and play logging.
