OVERVIEW
Inspired Composer Desktop software provides on-the-spot editing, publishing and delivery of content (locally or globally) including real-time internet content like weather, stock tickers, and news - to every display.
Inspired Composer Desktop software installs on a local PC. It can run multiple players, but is limited to two simultaneous users. The Inspired Composer Desktop works best for smaller implementations where one or two people will manage the Inspired XPert content and publishing. One Inspired Composer Desktop license is required for each PC that wants to interface with Inspired XPert players in the deployment.
Inspired Composer 5.4 is now available and simplifies two keys tasks for users: creating and managing content, and monitoring and managing the digital signage network. Version 5.4 adds several new features including playback log reporting, displaying an image from a URL, improved editing features such as highlighting message changes and a larger template preview, plus more capabilities for scheduling messages.
Note - To use the new features of Composer 5.4, your IS-XPT-2000 player firmware must be updated to version DM1.6.4 or higher available on AMX.com. Composer 5.4 is compatible with older firmware versions, but the new features require the update. Current Composer 5 users can upgrade to Composer 5.4 at no additional cost. Users of older versions of Composer will need to purchase a new license.
