Name and the time zone can be changed. We recommend to name the displays and media players clearly, based on their locations for example, so that later on its easy to know which display is which.
Resolution
In most cases, when the media player is connected to the display, the display resolution is automatically recognized. The resolution can be changed from the drop-down menu.
Screen rotation
The content direction on the display can be changed with screen rotation, if the screen rotation isn't automatically recognized. The correct screen rotation is the one in which you have to turn your head to seeing the content correctly
Screen saver
Screen saver can be used in all FirstView -displays. When the screen saver is on, the display will be turned off as scheduled.
There are three options for each day of the week:
Scheduled = the display turns on and off by the scheduling
Always off = the display is off all day
Always on = the display is on all day

Media players and displays can be reboot remotely when network connection is on
