Use-case
Screen settings determine what's technically possible (orientation, fit) and what's commercially allowed (ads on/off, news categories). Get them right before your first ads book.
The Screens section
Open Screens from the Screen Manager sidebar. For each screen in the Inventory list, you see:
Status — online (reachable by FRAMEN) or offline.
Items — how many pieces of content are assigned.
Ads count — how many ads are currently running.
Lite URL — click to copy; open in a browser to preview what's playing.
Settings per screen
Cover mode — scales content to fit when orientation or aspect ratio doesn't match the screen. Useful for mixed-orientation content.
Landscape / Portrait — set the screen's orientation so assets display correctly.
Update firmware — update the FRAMEN TV Box app. Soon available for Smart TVs and streaming devices.
The Ads section
Ads settings directly affect your earnings.
Ads Provider toggle — on = screen receives ads and earns. Off = no ads, no earnings. Keep this on unless you have a reason to pause.
News categories — pick which topics (business, sports, lifestyle, etc.) play on your screen. Choose what fits your audience.
Ads frequency — set how often ads play, from every 10 seconds to every 10 minutes. Higher frequency = more potential earnings.
Viewing and managing all screens
From Screens in the sidebar, you can see every screen in one list, grouped by Location. A Status pill like 1/193 Online at the top shows how many screens across the workspace are currently online.
Per screen you can see:
Online/offline status.
Created date and last online time.
Item count, orientation, Location, and email-notification status.
Good to know
Maximise earnings: Turn the Ads toggle on, keep ad frequency high, and make sure the location is approved. See How you earn revenue.
When to lower frequency: Lower ad frequency only if your own content or Channel content should dominate (e.g. a menu board where ads should be occasional).
Screens vs Players: "Players" was the old term. They refer to the same thing.
