REgion's and refresh

1

Hi There,

I read the article on region duration and behavior.
But after experimenting with a specific setup I have quite some questions.

Let me explain what I am searching for.

I have a screen where I want to display Full screen media but also a screen with multiple regions.
I considered using multiple layouts but this gives me a loading time of the screen with every switch.
And the calendar gets quite complex also.
So my idea was to created a 4 region display, containing containing the web-links to four .png files.
These png files contain graph’s that are refreshed every 5 minutes on a remote server.
After the 5 minute period I want to show full screen presentation followed by a full screen video.
After the video the whole thing should start all over again. Fresh graphs followed by the sheets and video.
Could I achieve this using layers? maybe I should ask…what is the best way to achieve this?

In addition to this I got a question about the refresh of regions and layout’s
I have created the four region layout already.
When I set the refresh of each layer to 5 minutes (which is the refresh duration of the .png) The screen keeps flashing all the time.
Obviously the whole layout is refreshed then. Can I prevent this somehow.
I tried to fade-in the regions but this does not make it look much better.

Just found out that the layout switch in a campaign goes quite smooth.
Did not use campaigns o far :slight_smile:

So the solution now is to put a full screen layout and the four region layout in a campaign.
Just the last part my question above annoys me.

On loading the layout the regions get loaded as white frames, after tat the picture is loaded.
It just looks a bit clumsy.

Any suggestions how to solve this?

Is it on Windows or Android client?

So embedded content might take some time to load, depending on the hardware, server from which those pictures are downloaded etc.

We’d need to take a look at this layout to be sure, but my guess is that it just need that time to download content from your server.

You can enable ‘Background transparent?’ it might look better than white frames.

It is on Android.

Changed to transparent.
This is a bit better.

I am experimenting with an overlay region (LAyer2) trying to cover the four regions.
Will come back on it.
