Materials are the actual content placed inside a sub-screen.

The most common material types are:

  • Image
  • Video
  • Text
  • Web
  • PDF
  • Built-in Widgets

You can think of it like this:

  • Sub-screen = one content area
  • Material = the actual content shown inside that area

How Many Materials Can a Sub-screen Contain

One sub-screen can contain one or multiple materials:

  • If there is only one material, it stays on screen continuously
  • If there are multiple materials, they rotate in sequence

Different types of materials usually switch like this:

  • Images, text, and web materials usually switch based on a stay time
  • Videos and other materials with a fixed playback duration usually switch after playback finishes

The Simplest Way to Get Started

If this is your first time making a program, the easiest starting path is usually:

  1. Select one sub-screen
  2. Add one image or one video first
  3. Save it and check the actual result

Once you are comfortable with that, you can add more materials, make them rotate, or try more advanced material types.
