End Points
uClients and Onboard stations
End Points
Endpoints act as an intermediate device/ software layer to process content received from the server and stream it to the destination.
uClients
uClient is Userful's software-based client app that runs on smart displays and certified uClient Adapters. uClient is Userful's current generation of clients managed from the Userful Infinity Platform. The uClient adapter has a powerful video processor that can output up to 4K resolution. The table below helps you understand the data you see in the uClients section.
Column | Description |
---|---|
Name | Denotes the name of the uClient. |
ID | A unique ID assigned to a uClient. It is set up once the uClient is assigned to a server. |
Location | The location of the uClient. Note that the location is specified by the user for easy identification of the area where the uClient is installed. |
IP Address | The IP Address of the uClient. |
App Version | The version number of the uClient application. |
Status | The current status of the uClient, which can be any one of the following:
|
Storage | Shows how much space is used and how much space is available in a uClient. |
Assigned Server | Denotes if the uClient is assigned to a server. The enabled toggle option denotes uClient is assigned a server, and the disabled toggle option denotes that the server is unassigned. |
Actions | The three-dot menu helps you view and use additional uClient settings. It has the following options:
|
Pair a uClient
Once, a uClient is set up, it appears on the uClients screen with an Available status.
Enable the Assigned Server toggle to assign the uClient a server. The status gets updated to Connected. Once the uClient is assigned to a server, it gets assigned an ID. This ID is visible on the Destination screen icon.
Pair a WebOS Client
Once, a WebOS is set up it appears on the uClients screen with an Available status.
Enable the Assigned Server toggle to assign the uClient a server. The status gets updated to Connected.
Beginning with version 12.7, the Userful Infinity Platform no longer supports Zero Clients as an end-point. Please use a uClient device.
Onboard Stations
Userful LED Media Commander is an enterprise solution for direct-view LED walls that integrates with your IT stack, providing you with enterprise management tools, security, and support. LED Media Commander allows you to create a single, perfectly synchronized display from multiple controller devices connected directly to your Nvidia GPU DisplayPort connections. It runs on the LED Media Commander-certified server with direct outputs to the LED wall controllers.
Enabling LED Media Commander
If you are using Userful Infinity version 12.8.4 or any version before it, the LED Media Commander will be disabled by default. You will need to contact your Userful representative if you need to enable it.
However, if you are using Userful Infinity version 12.9 you will have the option to enable or disable the LED Media Commander from the UI.
