Digital Slide Show

Slideshow Features

Example Slide on an Interactive System

When your loved one's system is sitting idle, a digital slideshow will automatically appear. You can choose what content to include. These settings can be changed by users with sufficient security permissions. The resident can manually start the slide show at any time by pressing the Slide Show button on the touchscreen. Pressing this button is also how to advance the display to the next slide. The slideshow also appears on the displays of non-interactive systems, although there will not be a slide show button available on systems without touchscreen capabilities.
