Infoplay

The Infoplay application is used for the purpose of digital signage display and picture display. Dependent on the device used for digital display, the Infoplay mobile or desktop application is required to be installed.  

In case Andriod systems are used for digital display, the Infoplay mobile application should be installed. Whereas, for customers using B&R power panels or other desktop systems for digital display, the Infoplay desktop application should be installed.

The setup procedure for Infoplay mobile involves server setup. On the other hand, setting up the Infoplay desktop application involves server setup and an additional procedure of client setup.

For instructions on installing and using TeamViewer for remote support, refer to the document QuickSupport for mobile apps.
