Devices and player pairing

3.1 Before you add a screen

Each screen in MATX is a device running the MATX player app. The player app is Android based (built with Flutter) and activates against a MATX license.

Have the following ready:

• A supported Android device connected to the screen, with a working network connection.
• An available license in License Management.
• The device's ID or serial number.
• The Virtual Space the screen belongs to, and the time zone of its location.

3.2 Add a device in the portal

1. In the sidebar, select Screens.

2. Open Add New Device.

3. Complete the fields described below.

   

4. Save the device.

3.3 Install and activate the player app

1. Install the MATX player app on the Android device. Contact support@matxsignage.com for the player app download link.

Each player activates against a license. License Management is where administrators assign licenses.
