How to Adjust the Screen Power Settings

To improve energy efficiency or manage privacy, you may want to disable content on your screens during specific time periods.

In Mvix CMS, you can set a screen’s on/off schedule to control when content is displayed. This feature disables the device’s HDMI output and pauses data transmission from the player to the screen. Once the scheduled period ends, the HDMI output is reactivated, and content resumes playback.

One example of this feature’s value is times when a building is unoccupied. For example, if an office closes at 8 PM and reopens at 6 AM, there is no need for displays to remain active during that time.

What You'll Need

• An active Mvix CMS account
• Internet Connectivity
• A display compatible with this feature*

Important Note*: As different manufacturers have different hardware standards, we cannot guarantee all displays will interpret this signal the same way. Please note that Mvix proprietary players do not use CEC.

Getting Started

• On Mvix CMS, (1) hover over "Devices" then click "Device Library".
• On the Device Library (2) locate the device you would like to adjust the screen power settings.
• Then, (3) hover over the three dots on the right and (4) click "Power Settings".
