CF Player CMS

Centrally manage your entire player fleet – from the browser.

Coming Soon

With the CF Player CMS you control your entire CF Player® fleet from a single web dashboard – whether one player runs in a shop window or a hundred are spread across multiple sites. Upload content, maintain playlists, control synchronisation, keep an eye on devices remotely: everything in one place, in the browser, without an on-site visit.

We're currently developing the CMS at full speed. Here's a preview of the planned feature set.

What the CF Player CMS will be able to do

An overview of the modules we're currently building.

Central fleet management

All players in one dashboard – with live status (online/offline) and a detail view per device.

Media library

Upload by drag & drop – including whole folders. Stock image search, automatic Office-to-PDF conversion and file metadata included.

Projects & playlists

Create playlists as versioned projects, publish them and roll back to an earlier version if needed.

HTML designer

Compose screen content from zones – with live preview and freely placeable widgets.

Live preview

Every editor shows a preview that reproduces the player behaviour exactly in the browser – WYSIWYG down to the detail.

Widgets

Clock, RSS ticker, weather and public-transport departures as ready-made blocks – add your own widgets via templates.

Data sources & ERP

Integrate live data via REST/ERP and calendars – room bookings, announcements, prices, stock levels and KPIs automatically on screen.

Templates

Save recurring playlists, widgets and project bundles as templates and apply them with one click.

Groups

Combine players into groups and distribute content or commands to all of them in one go.

Sync with diff view

Compare the CMS and player media libraries – transfer colour-coded differences to the player selectively, with live progress.

Day/night & reboot

Screen times and scheduled reboots per weekday – the player remembers the plan even offline.

Remote access

Open the player web interface directly from the dashboard in the browser – without VPN, without an on-site visit.

Multi-display sync

Frame-accurate synchronisation across multiple players – optionally with an especially precise PTP method.

Team & roles

Multiple users with graded permissions – each customer works in their own, separate area.

Media library

All content in one place

Upload, organise, preview – the central media library of the CF Player CMS.

Playlist editor

Assemble playlists – with live preview

Arrange media, set display durations, choose transitions.

CF Player CMS – playlist editor with live preview

Important: every editor offers a live preview that reproduces the player behaviour exactly in the browser – you see precisely how the playlist will later run on screen, before anything is transferred to a player. Try it yourself in the browser →

HTML designer

Design screen content freely

Draw zones, place widgets, fine-tune properties.

Here too, the preview reproduces the player behaviour exactly in the browser – animations, touch interactions and zones behave just like on the real device. So you design safely, without surprises at playout. Open the CMS demo in the browser →

True digital signage

Content that reacts to real data

More than a fixed loop: the screen shows what's actually current.

True digital signage means the screen doesn't just play a rigid playlist – it reacts to live data from your existing systems. Via the data source integration of the CF Player CMS – over a REST/ERP interface or a calendar feed – current information flows automatically onto the players. Typical scenarios:

  • Room bookings: occupancy plans right at the meeting room – who booked when, live from calendar or ERP.
  • Announcements & notices: current information, menus or events – maintained centrally, always up to date everywhere.
  • Prices & stock: daily prices, special offers and availability straight from the inventory system.
  • KPIs: revenue, target attainment or production figures as a running dashboard.
  • Schedules & calendars: daily programme, opening hours and events from iCal, Exchange & Co.

Each data source can be assigned to specific players or groups – so every site shows exactly the content that fits it.

Note: The CF Player CMS is in active development. The features described here reflect the planned status – scope, naming and availability may change. All information without guarantee.
