Custom apps
Bizplay apps give you access to many common data sources and present the data neatly on your pages. But there are so many other interesting data sources online that you might want to bring to your TV screens. To accomplish that, you can also create your own Bizplay apps.
With little Javascript programming skills, you can read, transform, filter and order many data sources of your choice and format them in a layout of your liking to show on your Bizplay pages. And since this often concerns data that consists of multiple items, you can show each item one after the other; in a table or a ticker. The possibilities are endless.
“When creating live TV marathon of 72 hours, we broadcast our YouTube live channel through Bizplay. This broadcast was converted to cable signal so that it could also be viewed on normal cable TV. Bizplay did a great job during these 72 hours of live streaming! We would not have made it without its stability.”
Trigger content from anywhere
Sometimes you want an event that occurs on one system to trigger the content of your TV screens. For example, you might want to start displaying related content when you have a device next to a TV screen that detects a specific action. You can create an event in Bizplay that an HTTP request can trigger. You can configure a playlist in the channel to start playing as soon as the predefined event is triggered.
You can even integrate this mechanism as a webhook into IFTTT, adding the ability for content to start playing on any IFTTT-compatible trigger, like the push of a button, a motion detector switching on, the occurrence of a new tweet, and many more.
