Appendix

This section contains good-to-know information about the uniFi+ system.

  Media files

  The following section details some of the requirements for Media Files to be used on articles and presentations.

  • 14.1.1

    Video

    • Supported video format is .mp4 (H.264)
    • Does not support these video formats: .wmv, .mpg or .avi, flv or f4v
    • Recommended video resolutions: FullHD 1080 (1920x1080), HD 720 (1280x720p) or SD - PAL (720x576p), NTSC (720x480)
    • Try using video-files compressed to a smaller file size to improve performance. Make sure you do not compress videos too much however, as this can greatly reduce the quality of the video files.

  • 14.1.2

    Images

    • Supported image formats are JPEG (.jpg), PNG (.png) and SWG (.swg) files.
    • Photos should maintain an aspect ratio of between 16:9 (landscape) and 9:16 (portrait) to fit in the various imageframes of the uniFi+ screen types. Images larger than the screen will be rescaled to fit.
    • On uniFi+display / +idles different actions are taken on images out of format. Collection article images pan. Book covers zoom. Fullscreen images resize to fit. To make your +display / +idle images match perfectly, see content area sizes of +display and +idles below.
    • “Map” images can have any aspect ratio (within reason). They just become scrollable.
    • “Map” images can be up to 16 Mega pixels in size (4096x4096 pixels if image is square), but an image width of between 2500 and 3500 pixels will improve performance.
    • Re-size formats (expect all photos to be resized into these formats):
      
      • Original size.
      • Media browser size (for fullscreen view on a HD screen).
      • Thumbnail size (For the smaller images below the primary image in an “Article”).
    • The text-field labelled “notes” is never used in presentations, but when you search for a specific photo in the Administration, the notes become searchable and can contain keywords and dates to assist with your search.

  • 14.1.3

    Audio

    • Supported audio formats are: MP3 (.mp3)

• 14.2

  Content area sizes of +display and +idle

  Sometimes you may want to create media-content that fits the content area exactly to avoid cropping, resizing or panning animations.

  The far most of +display screens today are in full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels), but the size and format of the main content area depends on widgets, theme title bars  and touch-advice chosen for the actual application. 

  Below are the content area measures of HD screens in most setups (click images to enlarge):
