 What is MagicInfo Pro? 
 
 
 
MagicInfo Pro uses an Ethernet network for servers and monitors, and transfers media files (image 
files, music files, and movies) and office files (HTML, PDF) from the server to the monitors over the 
network. Multiple monitors are connected to a server via a network and the server can transfer files to 
all the monitors at the same time or a single file to a single monitor. There are two ways to transfer 
files. The first is that the server registers a schedule to the monitors and then transfers files following 
that schedule. The second is that a monitor searches for the files registered in the library list of the 
server and receives and plays them. If more than one server is connected, the monitor can select a 
server and can receive a schedule from it. The monitor has a built-in Internet connection function. The 
servers and monitors are connected to the network. Each server or monitor has a unique name to 
identify itself on the network. A server and a monitor can only be connected if they have the same 
server name. For example, if the name of a server is MagicInfo Pro, only the monitors whose server 
name is MagicInfo Pro can receive schedules from it. If a monitor cannot find a server whose name is 
the same as the server name configured in it, it waits until a server with that name appears. 
However, if Auto Connection is enabled, the monitor attempts to connect to other servers and 
connects to the first server that responds.

1. Free Screen Design  
→ You can configure the screens to be displayed on the monitor by placing and playing multiple areas

2. Content Downloading or Streaming  
→ You can select Stream or Download for the transfer mode to play content on the screens and thus 
play the screens according to your circumstances. The downloaded screens are played on the monitors 
at the scheduled time even though the monitors are not connected to the server.  
 
3. Library Media File Management and Content Server  
→ You can manage the registered content in the library efficiently by creating folders. You can play the 
content on the screens according to your circumstances by operating the content server in accordance 
with the network status.  
 
4. Network/Local Schedules and Publishing  
→ You can transfer the edited screens to selected monitors by using the publishing feature. You can 
also transfer screens to the monitors which are not connected to the network by using the local  
						

							schedules.  
 
5. Instants message  
→ You can display a message on selected monitors regardless of schedules.  
 
6. MDC and System  
→ The MDC and System functions allow you to control, view the status of, and diagnose monitors.  
 
7. VNC  
→ The VNC function allows you to connect to a monitor remotely and view the status of and control 
and diagnose it.
