QR Code Zone

The QR code zones are used to display the QR codes for static text provided by the user or for the description of some media, and also to display QR code to allow remote interaction.

QR code zone allows users to link on-screen content with web resources. By placing a QR code zone on the screen, users can use a mobile device to scan the code and be redirected to related online content such as contact forms, vouchers and etc.

QR code can be per Campaign or per media item. The QR code zone’s positioning can be common to all items in a Campaign or separate for each one.

You can add QR code zone by clicking on the button QR Code Zone from the submenu Add new Zone from the Zones Layout button from the left navigation menu or the right context menu. In the ribbon, under Campaign tab, by After clicking on the QR Code Zone button, a QR code zone is added in the zone preview.

Once this button is clicked, a QR code zone is added in the zone preview and the QR code zone workspace opens. By default, QR code zone is added to the top left corner of the preview layout. In its zone settings, there are five options: display QR code for following static text, display QR code for the description of currently playing media in the primary zone, display QR code to allow audience scan and remotely interact, display QR Code to allow staff scan and remotely interact after validated by QR access and display QR Code to access DEUS for the certain DEUS key on the playing channel after validated by QR access.

Select the QR Zone and click on Zones Layout menu from the left navigation or right context menu. All options except for ‘Primary Zone’ button are available for the QR Code Zone. This button is disabled for QR code zones. Below the screen designer, you can change manually the Position X(%), Position Y(%), Width (%) and Height for the QR Code Zone.

Also, multiple QR code zones can be added to the campaign.

For option 1: “Display QR code for the following static text”, enter the required static text or URL in the given field. By default, this option is selected when a new QR code zone is added to the Campaign. Also by default, the QR code zone will be positioned on the top left corner of the canvas area. You can drag the QR code zone to change its default position on the canvas.

If you want to display different static text or URL then multiple QR code zones need to be inserted into the Campaign and configured with the proper text or URL.

Campaign full-screen preview will show the QR code zones.

For Option 2: “Display QR Code for the description of currently playing media in the primary zone. (The QR zone would be auto hidden if no description found)”, you can add different static text or URL for different media. Note that for this option, only media from the primary zone can be associated with the QR code zone. This means that even if you add multiple QR code zones in the Campaign, they can only be associated with media from the primary zone.

To set up different text or URL for different media, select the media in the primary zone, additional ‘Description’ field will be shown where you can enter a proper description.

You can drag the QR code zone to change its default position on the canvas.

Note that even though the QR code zone has a default position, you can change the display position of the QR code zone per media by using the QR code zone position (left, top). For all other media, it will use the default position of the QR code zone. For example, in the following image, a media in the primary zone has been configured with a URL and the display position of the QR code zone has also been changed for this media.
