Overview of the media that is supported in Joan WDS for specific display technologies
General information
Joan Workplace Digital Signage supports two main types of displays: Joan e-paper displays, and regular full-colour displays such as LCD, OLED, and LED.
Due to differences between the two display technologies, the media that is supported on each of them differs.
Please note that all display types are referred to as "Players" in the CMS.
For the CMS to adopt the correct set of media for the current player, the player has to be assigned to a player group, and the player group then has to be associated with the planned playlist for that player.
All the displays (players) in a player group can be either all e-paper or all full-colour. See the Getting Started Guide for more.
