Content Manager requirements vary greatly depending on how many projects will be stored, how many simultaneous synchronizations will be made and how fast a project needs to be downloaded. Please refer to the benchmarks below to identify the most suitable system.

=Benchmarks=

==Introduction==

These benchmarks serve as a reference to understand the implications certain types of hardware have in the Content Manager performance.

Each test runs on one project and consists of fetching that project with 1, 2, 5, 10 and 25 simultaneous threads, simulating simultaneous connections from players. The same test is done 2 times (tries) per hardware setup.

The values of each try shown in the table are measured in seconds. The average is shown in HH:MM:SS format.

Two projects were created with different characteristics. P#1 is a project with few but large files (videos). P#2, on the other hand, has very small files but in a large amount. P#1 is good to test the disk and bandwidth throughput. P#2 is heavier on the CPU because it processes a large amount of requests.

===Notes===

HW#1 is, as proven by the tests, highly discouraged. Its CPU is slow and doesn't even scale to the network speed. Also, usually these CPUs are used with slow and unreliable hard drives.

HW#4 shows that, although the hardware is within the minimum requirements, Windows 8 has extremely high priority for user interface processes. As seen by the benchmarks of P#1, the throughput is high (limited by the 100 Mbps connection), but CPU intensive tasks are highly penalized. The reason P#2 is faster than on the Atom is only because it has more cores.

HW#3 is a virtual machine with only 1 core dedicated to it. It has server grade hardware but runs along with other virtual machines pulling resources from it, namely disk access. However, since Linux is better suitable for web servers than desktop-oriented Windows, it's the fastest of them all.

The P#2 test should look almost the same up until the number of threads are equal or smaller than the number of cores. For example, a 4 core CPU should handle P#2 more or less the same way as long as it has a dedicated core to each request (4 simultaneous requests in this case).

{{clear}}
=Input video hardware setup=
[[File:play_inputvideo.png|thumb|400px|Input video hardware setup]]

Configure TV Cards connected to the Player. Depending on which type of card is selected (analogue or digital), different options will be enabled. In this screen is also possible to tune the channels as well as synchronize audio and set the volume.

The '''Export channel list''' is useful to export the channel list to the [[Composer/Modules/TV-Video|TV/Video]] module in the Composer.

{{clear}}

=Register in a server=
[[File:play_serverreg.png|thumb|650px|none|Server registration]]

In this screen you can register a player in a [[Enterprise Web Server/Manual|Content Manager]]. When connected to the server, it's possible to specify a '''name''' for the player as well as for each of the screens enabled on the player.

Synchronization options are '''start synchronization''' which determines when the start calculating the '''interval''' for synchronization. For instance, for a hourly synchronization just set start synchronization at any hour and then set the interval to 1 hour.

If the synchronization fails, there's an option that specifies the number of reconnect attempts as well as the interval between each of those reconnection attempts.

After all being configured, enable the option '''Enable connections to server''' so that the player fetches new and updated projects from the server.

=Getting Started=

[[File:Main_clean.png|thumb|650px|none|Composer main screen without any projects loaded]]

==Initial Configuration==

[[File:Comp_configurations.png|thumb|250px|Composer configurations]]

===Configuration===

Usually the Composer has the optimal configuration by default. The only thing you may wish to change is the language.

===RSS Feeds===

There are some default RSS Feeds preconfigured like news from BBC, CNN and others. For a more in-depth configuration of your feeds, please refer to [[Composer/RSS Feeds|RSS Feeds]].

{{clear}}

==Creating a Project==
[[File:Comp_newproject.png|thumb|250px|New Project window]]

On the top left corner of the Composer application there is a button called "Projects". Clicking there will bring you to the project management window.
Here you have two sections. On the left, a list of all projects you already created as well as buttons to create a new project, duplicate an existing one or delete. On the right are the selected project details.

To create a new project click {{Comp_btn2|New}}, define a title, screen orientation (landscape or portrait) and resolution and {{Comp_btn2|Save}}. For optimal visualization, the project's screen resolution should be the same as the screen that is going to play the project.

{{clear}}
=User Interface=

[[File:Main_proj.png|thumb|650px|none|Composer main window with a project]]

==Top==

The top bar is for general purpose operations such as managing [[Projects]], [[Schedules]] and [[Queue Management|Queues]], configurations and deploying projects.

==Project Overview==
[[File:Change_res.png|thumb|250px|DS]]
Displays the name of the project and the resolution being used, as well as allowing it to be changed. The right button allows for a preview of the project at its current state.
{{clear}}

==Sidebar==

The side bar is dedicated to the project being created. It's composed of 3 parts.

The first consists of information about the current project and a button to preview the work done so far.

The second configures the layout. The layout is composed by a [[Composer/Background|Background]] and, optionally, a [[Composer/Mask|Mask]].

The third is a list of modules that can be added to the project. There are multiple modules for multiple purposes, please refer to [[Composer/Modules|Modules]] to learn more about each one.

==Workspace==

The workspace consists in 2 parts, the Canvas and the Tools bar.

===Canvas===

This is where the modules are added, configured and arranged. The resultant layout is what the player will show with each module running.

===Tools===

With this tools, align modules is much easier. Here you could align each module in relation to another.
With "X, Y, W, H" text boxes, each module could be positioned and resized to the exact values of "X", "Y", "Width" and "Height".

In this toolbar it's possible to enable "Snap to pixel" and "Show guides" options, as well as set how many pixels you want to move each module.

=Play=

After creating a Project, it must be sent to a Player. This button will do just that. Note that the player(s) must be running to be able to send projects.

==DS==

[[File:Comp_play.png|thumb|250px|DS]]

Simply select the project you want to send to the player. The one that's opened should be selected when the window is opened.

{{clear}}
==Network==

[[File:Comp_network.png|thumb|250px|Network]]

Network Composer can be used to send projects to one or more players inside a network. It's possible to '''search players''' to automatically detect players inside the network and add them to the player's list.

In the player's list the following options are available:

;Connect
:To be able to send projects to a player, it needs to be connected (green circle)
;Information
:Displays information about the selected player
;Screenshot
:Takes a screenshot of what's currently running on the player and displays it
;Settings
:Configures the connection to the player. '''Auto check for IP changes''' allows for, when a player gets its IP from a DHCP server, to automatically update the IP.
;Download project
:Downloads the current project, or projects, running on the player

To assign a project to one or more players, just select the players you want to assign the project to, select the project, and press Play.

{{clear}}
==Content Manager==

[[File:Comp_enterprise.png|thumb|250px|Enterprise]]

In E-Composer you don't send projects to players. Instead you send it to the [[Enterprise Web Server/Manual|Content Manager]]. It's also possible to fetch existing projects from the server to the local composer provided you have the needed permissions.

E-Composer is integrated with Content Manager's Publishing System, so you can send a project to the server and publish it at the same time.

The third is a list of modules that can be added to the project. There are multiple modules for multiple purposes, please refer to [[Composer/Modules|Modules]] to learn more about each one.

==Workspace==

The workspace consists in 2 parts, the Canvas and the Tools bar.

===Canvas===

This is where the modules are added, configured and arranged. The resultant layout is what the player will show with each module running.

===Tools===

With this tools, align modules is much easier. Here you could align each module in relation to another.
With "X, Y, W, H" text boxes, each module could be positioned and resized to the exact values of "X", "Y", "Width" and "Height".

In this toolbar it's possible to enable "Snap to pixel" and "Show guides" options, as well as set how many pixels you want to move each module.

=Play=

After creating a Project, it must be sent to a Player. This button will do just that. Note that the player(s) must be running to be able to send projects.

==DS==

[[File:Comp_play.png|thumb|250px|DS]]

Simply select the project you want to send to the player. The one that's opened should be selected when the window is opened.

{{clear}}
==Network==

[[File:Comp_network.png|thumb|250px|Network]]

Network Composer can be used to send projects to one or more players inside a network. It's possible to '''search players''' to automatically detect players inside the network and add them to the player's list.

In the player's list the following options are available:

;Connect
:To be able to send projects to a player, it needs to be connected (green circle)
;Information
:Displays information about the selected player
;Screenshot
:Takes a screenshot of what's currently running on the player and displays it
;Settings
:Configures the connection to the player. '''Auto check for IP changes''' allows for, when a player gets its IP from a DHCP server, to automatically update the IP.
;Download project
:Downloads the current project, or projects, running on the player

To assign a project to one or more players, just select the players you want to assign the project to, select the project, and press Play.

{{clear}}
==Content Manager==

[[File:Comp_enterprise.png|thumb|250px|Enterprise]]

In E-Composer you don't send projects to players. Instead you send it to the [[Content Manager/Manual|Content Manager]]. It's also possible to fetch existing projects from the server to the local composer provided you have the needed permissions.

E-Composer is integrated with Content Manager's Publishing System, so you can send a project to the server and publish it at the same time.

Here you have two sections. On the left, a list of all projects you already created as well as buttons to create a new project, duplicate an existing one or delete. On the right are the selected project details.

To create a new project click {{Comp_btn2|New}}, define a title, screen orientation (landscape or portrait) and resolution and {{Comp_btn2|Save}}. For optimal visualization, the project's screen resolution should be the same as the screen that is going to play the project.
