AD+Sign Pro
A Page is where your digital signage content is added to be shown on your AD+Sign Player. A Page's properties include:
| Property | Description |
| Resolution (W & H) | Pixel width and height of the Page. Typically matches the pixel resolution of your Player's connected display. |
| Background Colour | Hex colour value of the Page's background. |
| Text Colour | The default hex colour value of the Page's text. Can be overridden in certain Element settings |
Each Player creates its own Page, named 'Default'. This page cannot be removed and serves as the default page for displaying content. Global Pages can be assigned to multiple Players at once, see Global Resources - Pages for more details.
