This guide walks you through the installation and initial configuration of the standalone DOOH player and the setup process for connecting it to the DOOH CMS.

Download Here: DoohAd Standalone Installer

Installation Process

  1. Run the standalone DOOH installer. 
  2. Follow the on-screen wizard to complete the installation. 

Once complete, the Acquire Advert Configuration window will automatically launch  

Advert Configuration Settings 

Use this screen to define how adverts are displayed on your digital screen: 

  • Left: 0 
  • Top: 0 
  • Width: 1920 
  • Height: 1080 

These values may vary depending on the resolution of your digital screen. 

You can OPTIONALLY configure any settings here (by default you do not need to and should not touch items). You MAY want to override the players' default of auto-sizing the output for example on a multi-screen display.

The screen should NOT be scaled in display settings. It should be 100% scaling for auto-scale to work.

  • Media root: if you want to add a different folder but generally it will look in the media folder
  • URL: this will be set as default when the player ID is assigned to the DOOH CMS.
