Screensaver Standard Display Settings

A Standard Display screensaver consists of one or more images and/or videos shown as a looping screensaver or digital signage presentation.

Image Duration

Supported in:

Defines how long each image will be shown on screen. This setting does not apply to video files. 

Fade Duration

Supported in:

Defines the duration of the fade animation shown between images and/or videos.

If you prefer not to use a fade animation between slides, you can clear this setting or set it to zero.

Path to Overlay Image

Supported in:

Display a locally stored image in front of a screensaver loop. The image will appear consistently through the entire loop and is not affected by fade transitions. Overlaying an image lets you add a call to action without needing to edit every image or video (for example, "Touch to start").

If using an overlay image in Enterprise in combination with an External Monitor Mode (other than Native Mirroring), the overlay will only be shown on the iPad, not the connected external screen, allowing you to add a call to action only on the screen which is able to accept touch input. 

We recommend creating a transparent PNG that is the same resolution as the iPad, as smaller images will be scaled to fit the screen. You can also vary the transparency of the image through the Overlay Opacity setting below.

Overlay Opacity

Supported in:

Changes the opacity of the Overlay Image, allowing the screensaver images and/or video to be seen through the overlay. The opacity can be set from 0% (completely transparent) to 100% (completely opaque, no transparency).  This setting does not affect areas of the image that are already transparent.
