DEX Manager® - Functionalities

DEX Manager: Central management and automation platform

The operational core of the DEX suite. DEX Manager allows you to manage, schedule, monitor and automate the entire ecosystem of screens, players, content and connected devices, from a single secure and scalable web environment.

• Comprehensive management of content, layouts, playlists, calendars and hardware policies.

• Remote monitoring and real-time control of the status of each connected device and player.

• Native integration with DEX Studio, DEX Vision and DEX IoT to create dynamic, sensory and measurable experiences.

• Multi-tenant, scalable, API-based architecture for distributed corporate or retail deployments.

• Designed for 24/7 operation with guaranteed stability, redundancy and continuous upgrades.

1. Media Library

Centralizes the management of all multimedia resources used on the network:

• Cloud repository with hierarchical structure by folders, tags and metadata.

• Support for MP4, MOV, JPG, PNG, SVG, HTML5, DEX App, WebP, Unity 3D and other formats.

• Preview, edit and replace files without loss of links in active playlists.

• Version management, duplicate control and synchronization with background players.

• Bulk upload, permissions management per user and change auditing.

2. Layouts and screen structures

Define and manage the visual areas of your screens, video walls or LED devices:

• Creation of multi-frame layouts in free or predefined format (Full HD, UHD, LED, custom ratio).

• Visual drag-and-drop editor with exact coordinates, interactive zones and frame assignment.

• Support for horizontal, vertical, asymmetric and multi-zone layouts.

• Direct compatibility with templates created in DEX Studio.

• Independent versioning and seamless duplication of live content.

3. Playlists and content planning

Organize the scheduling of each screen with full control over times, formats, and timelines:

• Creation of playlists by drag-and-drop from the library or defined layouts.

• Assign duration, start/end dates, days and specific time slots.

• Playback modes sequential, random or by external conditions (IoT or triggers).

• Timeline preview with total duration, synchronization status and version control.

• Support for mixed content: video, HTML5, data feeds, applets or dynamic templates.

4. Calendars and playout automation

Schedule playlist playback based on automatic schedules, days or events:

• Visual calendars with weekly or monthly view, assignment by color and playlist type.

• Support for multiple time zones and automatic synchronization with the server.

• Priority hierarchy: fixed events, temporary campaigns and conditional slots.

• Integration with sensors or IoT sources to trigger contextual campaigns (temperature, presence, weather).

• Full automation without manual intervention, with execution traceability.

5. Devices, players and screens

Monitor, manage and control every device in your Digital Signage network:

• Automatic registration and assignment of players to stores, zones or groups through unique codes.

• Real-time status panel with connection, performance, active playlist, CPU and storage.

• Remote actions: reboot, firmware update, log sending, screen capture, cache cleaning or factory reset.

• Automatic deletion of inactive players after 48 hours of disconnection.

• Compatibility with Android, Windows, Linux, WebOS, SSSP and ChromeOS.

6. Hardware and transmission policies

Configure power, network and operation rules to optimize performance:

• Automatic on/off scheduling of displays and players.

• Control volume, brightness, contrast and HDMI signal inputs from the administration panel.

• Definition of time windows for downloads and synchronizations, optimizing bandwidth.

• Global or group policies with hierarchical inheritance and conditional priority.

• Integration with UPS, IoT sensors or predictive maintenance systems.

7. Security and user management

Access control, permissions and roles within distributed corporate environments:

• Multi-user management with role levels: Administrator, Editor, Operator and Viewer.

• Granular assignment of permissions to specific modules or sections.

• Token authentication, HTTPS secure session and GDPR compliance.

• Activity logs per user and traceability of critical actions (edit, publish, delete).

• Support for single sign-on (SSO) and corporate authentication.

8. Operational monitoring and analytics

DEX Manager provides full visibility into network health and content performance:

• Centralized dashboard with network KPIs, uptime, content load and latency.

• Log history and playback statistics by device or playlist.

• Configurable alerts for disconnection, content error or critical hardware.

• Export of reports and connection with external BI platforms.

• Integration with DEX Vision to correlate audience and attention metrics with playout data.

9. Integration with DEX Suite

DEX Manager functions as the brain of the entire DEX ecosystem:

• DEX Studio: receives dynamic templates and visual data ready for immediate publication.

• DEX IoT: connects sensors, controls triggers and automates content based on physical signals.

• DEX Vision: measures and analyzes the impact of each broadcast through advanced visual analytics.

• DEX Cloud: synchronizes configuration, security and data between all system modules.

10. Stability, maintenance and performance

Infrastructure developed for continuous operation and corporate scalability:

• Support for load balancing and active redundancy in distributed environments.

• Server, database and connected node performance monitoring.

• Automatic software updates without service interruption.

• Full support for hybrid and on-premise cloud environments.

• Detailed diagnostic logs and open API for external audits.
