What is Ambicast?
The pieces: screens, playlists, slides, and how they fit together.
Ambicast is cloud digital-signage software. You design in the browser; that design plays on any number of TVs, monitors, or kiosks. One dashboard controls everything — no USB sticks, no proprietary player to buy.
The hierarchy is simple: you design slides from layers, group slides into a playlist, and assign that playlist to a screen. Publish, and every affected display updates in seconds.
The pieces
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
| Screen | A physical display running the Ambicast player |
| Playlist | An ordered sequence of slides that loops on a screen |
| Slide | One full-screen moment in a playlist |
| Layer | One element on a slide — text, image, video, shape, live data |
| Campaign | A schedule pushed to many screens at once (Pro) |
If you would rather start from a finished design, open the public template gallery — you can play every template before you sign up.
