Overview

The Sony iRevo IDS/1YR is a cloud-hosted signage application for BRAVIA Professional Displays, supplied with a one-year operating licence. It is managed from any web browser and needs no additional hardware, while combining video, images, PDFs, web pages, RSS feeds and live TV. Schools, colleges and corporate offices in Qatar can publish to single screens or display groups, and push emergency messages from a phone.

What the iRevo IDS/1YR licence covers

The Sony iRevo IDS/1YR is a one-year operating licence for iRevo, Sony's cloud-based digital signage suite built for BRAVIA Professional Displays. The suite includes the Author and Manage applications, which handle screen design, scheduling and publishing. Because it runs on Amazon Web Services and opens in any web browser, there is no signage server to install or maintain at each site.

Schools, colleges and corporate offices often want screens that look professional without a dedicated media team. iRevo's templates, layout controls and touch support help a small team produce polished screens, and the software is designed to scale from a single display to a larger estate.

Building screens from many kinds of content

iRevo accepts a broad mix of inputs in one project. Video, animated images, music, web pages and HTML code, PDF and text files, Office files from Microsoft or Google including spreadsheets and slide decks, RSS feeds, QR codes and widgets can all sit in the same layout. Material can go live as a stream or run from a USB drive or a LAN location, and network cameras, LAN services and live TV can be brought into the signage.

The authoring tools cover layout and template control, a content management system, playlists with scheduling, and sharing of projects between team members. The licence includes 25 GB of storage in the content management system and 25 GB of download or streaming bandwidth, so estimate your video volume before you commit to a content schedule.

Managing displays one by one or as groups

A project can be published to a single BRAVIA display or to a group of displays. This suits a school that wants different corridors to show different information, or a company that wants one message across all its floors. Each display or group can be monitored, and whitelisting controls which playout devices are allowed to receive content.

Device logs and error alerts can be emailed to the people responsible for the screens, so the team hears about problems without checking each display. Logins for the admin, author and manage roles are allocated per device, so decide who on your team needs access before ordering.

Two examples show the fit in Qatar. A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out new classrooms can publish timetables and event slides to corridor displays by year group. A corporate office in West Bay can run a welcome playlist in the lobby and give meeting room displays their own schedules, all from one browser-based console.

Emergency messages and phone-based updates

The iDS Cast Android app lets an authorised user send photos, videos, music, text and PDF files from a smartphone straight to a networked BRAVIA display. The same app can broadcast announcements and emergency messages. For a government office in Doha or a campus with several buildings, this gives a responsible person a direct route to the screens when something must be shown immediately.

What to plan before you order

Displays: confirm each screen is a BRAVIA Professional Display running the supported Android platform.
Network: check connectivity at every site, especially for live streams and video.
Storage: compare your video plans with the 25 GB storage and 25 GB bandwidth allowances.
Access: decide who needs admin logins, since these are allocated per device.
Environment: confirm the display's operating conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team before mounting it in a hot or dusty location.

For schools, ministries and companies buying several screens, SmartRooms Qatar supplies the iRevo IDS/1YR licence across Qatar, offers free site surveys, and accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders. Quotations are usually issued within one working day.

Questions about IDS/1YR

What is the Sony iRevo IDS/1YR?

It is a one-year operating licence for iRevo, Sony's cloud-based digital signage software for BRAVIA Professional Displays. It lets you design, schedule and publish screen content from a web browser, and it combines video, images, documents, web pages and live TV in one signage project. It suits schools, colleges and corporate offices in Qatar that already run or are planning BRAVIA screens and want to manage them centrally.

Which displays does iRevo work with?

iRevo is designed for BRAVIA Professional Displays and integrates with their Android operating system, so no additional hardware is needed. Before ordering, confirm that each screen is a BRAVIA Professional Display running the supported Android platform. Include the model of every screen in your quotation request so the compatibility can be checked before purchase.

Does iRevo need a server or media player on site?

iRevo needs no additional hardware. Its Author and Manage apps run in the cloud on Amazon Web Services and open in any web browser, so projects are built and published remotely. Each screen still needs a dependable network connection, because live streams depend on it and content can also be loaded from USB or LAN storage.

How much storage and bandwidth does the licence include?

The licence includes 25 GB of storage in the content management system and 25 GB of download or streaming bandwidth. If a school or office plans frequent video playback, estimate the size of the files each display will play and compare them with these allowances before setting your schedule. Mention your expected video volume when you request a quote.

Can a private school in Al Wakrah use it for classroom and corridor announcements?

Yes. The school can publish announcements, timetables and event slides to individual corridor displays, or to groups such as all screens for one year group. Each display can be monitored, and whitelisting limits which playout devices receive content. Emergency messages can also be broadcast from the iDS Cast Android app to networked BRAVIA displays when a site notice is needed.

How could a corporate office in West Bay use it for lobby and meeting room screens?

Build a welcome and company news playlist in the cloud, then publish it to the lobby display while meeting room screens receive their own group schedules. Video, images, animations and RSS feeds can share one layout, and QR codes can link visitors to a web page. Device logs and error alerts can be emailed to the office manager whenever an error is recorded.

Can a government office in Doha send urgent notices from a phone?

Yes, through the iDS Cast Android app, which sends photos, videos, music, text and PDF files from a phone to a networked BRAVIA display. An authorised user can broadcast an announcement or emergency message to the selected displays. Before go-live, confirm with your IT team that the phones, the BRAVIA displays and the office network can communicate with each other.

Can I show live TV, network cameras or Microsoft Office files on screen?

Yes. iRevo can integrate live TV, network cameras and LAN services with your signage, and it supports Microsoft Office or Google documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Content can be streamed live or played from USB or LAN storage. Presentations and spreadsheets suit information screens in a hospital waiting area or a bank hall, provided the content stays within the storage allowance.

Does the licence include training or support?

The product data lists one hour of online end-user training per purchase order and unlimited end-user email support. These items are part of the licence specification. When you request a quote, ask how they apply to your order so your team knows what to expect before rollout.

What does the one-year operating licence cover, and what happens after a year?

The licence covers one year of operation of the iRevo suite. The product data does not set out renewal terms, so do not assume how or when the licence continues after that period. When you request a quote, ask what happens at the end of the first year and which terms apply beyond it.

Is iRevo a current product, and can I buy it through SmartRooms Qatar?

Yes, the iRevo IDS/1YR is a current product. SmartRooms Qatar supplies it across all eight municipalities of Qatar and accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders. Quotations are usually issued within one working day. Send your number of displays, their locations and the number of people who will manage content.

How should we plan a rollout across several Qatar sites?

Start with a list of sites, the BRAVIA displays at each one, and the staff who will publish content. Decide which screens share one schedule and which need their own playlists, and note who holds admin logins, since these are allocated per device. Check network connectivity at every site, especially for live streams. A free site survey helps when screens are to be mounted in Msheireb or the Industrial Area.
