Digital Signage
Instead of relying on manual slide decks, PDFs, or external tools, Digital Signage uses your event's Session data as a single source of truth. Any updates made in Jomablue such as Session time changes, room updates, or cancellations are automatically reflected across all connected Screens.
Digital Signage is commonly used for session room signage, wayfinding, agenda overviews, announcements, and sponsor messaging, anywhere accurate, real-time information is required onsite.
Why Use Jomablue Digital Signage
Digital Signage reduces manual effort and eliminates the risk of inconsistent or outdated information on on-site screen displays.
Typical Use Cases
Key Components of Digital Signage
Before configuring, it is important to understand how the key components work together:
Planning Your Setup
Proper planning is critical to ensure a smooth on-site experience.

Display Specifications
Content Preparation
Event Data
Access Digital Signage
Navigate to: Jomablue Portal → Event Configuration → Screens
The Screens section contains four tabs:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Screens | View and manage all physical Screens and their status |
| Templates | Create and manage Screen layouts |
| Schedules | Control when Templates display |
| Display Sizes | Define Screen dimensions for accurate rendering |
Create a Digital Signage
1. Configure Display Sizes
Display Size defines the resolution and layout of your Screens. If the display size does not match the actual Screen resolution, content may appear stretched, elements may be cropped, and text may become unreadable.
2. Add Screens
Screens represent the physical displays used at your event.
3. Create a Template
Templates define what content appears on your screens and how it is displayed. A Template can contain one or more Pages, each displaying different information and rotating after a set duration. Templates can be reused, duplicated, and adapted across events.
4. Customise a Template
Within the Template editor, configure Pages, Styling, and Components.
| Component | Description | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Date & Time | Supports multiple date/time formats including YYYY-MM-DD and region-specific variations | Regional alignment |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you connect Digital Signage to a Screen?
Jomablue provides a unique display URL for each Screen. The agency works with the AV team to ensure the device is connected to the internet and opens the provided URL in a browser in full-screen mode. Once loaded, the Screen will display scheduled content automatically.
What are the Display & Connectivity requirements?
Digital Signage works on most browser-enabled devices, including TVs, monitors, tablets, and LED walls. It supports both portrait and landscape orientations and requires a stable internet connection. Wired Ethernet is recommended for reliability, especially in high-screen environments.
Who is responsible for setting up the URL on the screen?
The agency and AV team are responsible for ensuring the screen device is connected to the internet and that the correct display URL is opened. Jomablue provides the URL for each Screen configuration.
What screen resolution is supported (1080p or 4K)?
Both 1080p (1920x1080) and 4K (3840x2160) resolutions are supported. Digital Signage is pixel-perfect, meaning it is designed to match the exact Display Size configured in Jomablue. You must confirm the actual screen resolution before setup, as Templates will not automatically scale between different resolutions.
How often do Screens refresh?
Screens automatically check for updates every 60 seconds, ensuring that any changes made in Jomablue are reflected shortly after.
Will the screen highlight the session that is currently live?
Yes. The system automatically highlights the session currently in progress, making it easy for attendees to identify what is live.
What happens if the screen goes offline?
If a Screen temporarily loses internet connectivity, the last successfully loaded content will remain visible. Once connectivity is restored, the Screen will automatically refresh and display the latest updates.
Will the screen indicate if it has gone offline?
Yes. A small status icon is displayed on the Screen to indicate the current connectivity status.
Can Digital Signage use custom fonts?
Yes. Custom fonts can be added via Organisation Settings and become available in the Digital Signage Template editor. See Using Custom Fonts in the Customise a Template step above for instructions.
Who monitors the screens during the event?
Each Screen includes a status indicator showing connectivity. On-site room managers or event staff are responsible for monitoring Screens during the event and escalating issues to Jomablue if required.
