There is no necessity to maintain a permanent internet connection on the screen's side. You only need it when uploading content, updating settings or to monitor the current screen status.

Can I use it to power video wall or LED screen?
In most of the cases, the answer is yes. But it depends on the existing hardware infrastructure you use in your project.

CMS

Can I manage the screens in the different locations centrally from one place?
This is the main idea. You can add, delete and group all of your screens, manage a content, create the playlists and schedule broadcasting remotely at any time and from wherever you are.
Can I upload my own content?
Just enter a "Content" section, click "Add content", drag' n' drop your files and click "Upload".

At the moment Look supports mp3 audios and audio streams, images in jpeg and png, mp4 videos, web-pages and web-archives, RSS feeds, Video streams in HLS, widgets (weather, time, text or ticker, buttons).
Can I divide the screen into the multiple zones and play different content in each of them at the same time?
Certainly. You're able to arrange it using our advanced Layout designer. You can combine videos, images, different types of widgets (like, weather or ticker), our inbuilt apps (like, Instagram or Youtube) on one screen at the same time.

Also, this task is partially solved for specific content items using the "Lifetime" feature, which you can find in the "Content settings". In the near future we will release Advanced calendar scheduling, which will be much more convenient for that purpose.
