Improve your workflow with Disign's render preview

July 10, 2024

When working on complex campaigns in the field of digital signage, it's crucial to optimize performance to avoid overloading your system. With Disign's "Render Preview" feature, you can now view only what's necessary without having to load all videos or heavy components in real-time. This innovative feature allows you to visualize essential content while reducing your machine's resource consumption.

Why use the render preview?

When a campaign or scene contains multiple videos and interactive elements, previewing can become resource-intensive. This can slow down your computer, especially if you are working on heavy projects. The render preview is designed to circumvent this issue by providing substitute renders. This approach allows you to see what is displayed without loading all heavy components simultaneously.

Disign Studio, our CMS, integrates this feature seamlessly. The render preview does not affect the player or the final broadcast render; it is solely intended to enhance your experience in the creation studio.

Render preview features

With Disign, you can customize the type of render preview for each component of your campaign or scene. Here are the available options:

  • Render: Displays the component with the global parameters of the campaign or scene. It is rendered normally without substitution.
  • Substitution Mark: Replaces the component’s render with a predefined substitution color. Each component automatically receives a substitution color that you can adjust as needed.
  • Substitution Mark for All Subcomponents: Displays the main component normally, but all its subcomponents use their own substitution mark. This option is particularly useful for complex scenes, allowing you to better visualize each element without overloading your machine.

Global render preview settings

Render preview settings can be adjusted not only at the component level but also at the global level of the campaign or scene. You can choose from the three types of render described above to apply changes to your entire project.

Disign allows you to configure these settings to optimize your studio’s performance. By reducing the load on your system and the necessary bandwidth, you benefit from shorter load times and a smoother creation experience.

Benefits for your workflow

The "Render Preview" feature of Disign offers several notable advantages:

  1. Resource Optimization: Reduces the load on your machine by providing lighter renders.
  2. Increased Productivity: Less time spent waiting for the full render, more time for creation.
  3. Increased Flexibility: Allows you to clearly see the impact of each change without having to load heavy elements.

Thanks to these improvements, Disign helps you work more efficiently while maintaining high-quality final renders.
