Idle screen and signage takeover

Between classes the studio TV doesn't go dark. By default it rests on a branded idle screen — the gym logo over a slow-moving wash of the gym's colours, a wall clock, the studio name, and the line Strap up. Class begins shortly. If you'd rather the downtime earn its keep, assign a signage playlist: after a delay you choose, the TV plays your signage content exactly like a signage screen would — and drops it instantly when a class starts.

What you'll do

See what the idle screen shows, then assign (or remove) an idle signage playlist and set the takeover delay from the admin app.

You'll need: a paired studio TV, and — for the takeover — at least one signage playlist created under Signage in the admin app.

Steps

What you should see

An idle studio that either wears your brand or sells for you — and a screen that always belongs to the class the moment one starts. Class content always wins; signage only ever fills genuine downtime.

If something goes wrong

• The idle screen says the TV isn't paired — it lost its pairing. Re-claim it from Settings → Studio TV → Screens (see the setup chapter).
• No playlists to choose from — the sheet tells you there are none at this gym yet. Create one under Signage first, then come back and assign it.
• The takeover never starts — check the delay: the timer restarts every time the screen is touched or a class runs. A busy studio may simply never sit idle long enough.
• Signage is still up as members walk in — it clears the instant the class actually starts on the TV. If the class runs without the TV (no straps, never started), press any key or tap the screen to return to the Hub and start it yourself.
