Overview
Any organization can tailor its site-specific atmosphere for increased relevance and impact through its
use of what we call
channels. Each channel has its own programs, its own broadcast calendar, and its
own time basis. Combined, these differentiators create a framework of flexibility that can extend to the
most ambitious global deployments. But even so, channels are intrinsically simple enough and
lightweight enough for small, local
deployments.
Topics in this chapter explain core channel concepts in Cisco Digital Signs and guide you step-by-step
through your planning, preparation, and deployment of channels. You will learn how to:
•
Create channels that support your goals.
•
Choose suitable programming for channels.
•
Assign programs to channel dayparts.
•
Subscribe endpoints to channels.
