    • Broadsign Reach API Key – Insert the API key you obtained from the Broadsign Reach interface. See Broadsign Reach.
    • Allow Audio – Select this option if the players on your network are able to play content that contains audio.
    • Respect network controls – If selected, Broadsign Reach will respect any network controls that you have in place.
    • Pre-cache Reach creatives – Selected by default. Allows pre-caching of approved Broadsign Reach creatives (or ad copies). This feature ensures that certain content is immediately available when you make a request to play the content.

Warning: Broadsign Connect realized end of life in March 2016. Since this time, no new customers may access the product. As a courtesy, grandfathered clients of Broadsign Connect may self-support their efforts.

Broadsign supports both Broadsign Publish and Broadsign Creator.

  • Broadsign Publish – Select this option if you are a Broadsign Publish client, and want your players to point to publish.broadsign.com.
  • Broadsign Creator – Default. If selected, Broadsign will point associated players to creator.broadsign.com.

Note: If you are using both Broadsign Publish and Broadsign Creator concurrently, we suggest you create a separate configuration profile for each. Then, associate your respective players to those profiles.
