Set Up the Network

Hosts, locations, screens and groups.

1. Add the host business

   Network → Hosts → + New host. A host is the business with a Micropixel screen on its premises. Set its category (Cafe, Gym, Retail…), contacts and agreement dates. Ads only run on a host's screens while its agreement is Active and inside its dates.

2. Add its location

   Network → Locations → + New location. Give it the street address, suburb and region (e.g. Geelong West, Geelong) — campaigns can target a region or suburb directly. Set Operating hours if ads should only run while the business is open.

3. Pair the screen

   Power the Micropixel player on at the site. It shows a pairing code on the TV (e.g. MV9-TF2). Go to Network → Add screens, type the code, a name, the location and orientation, and click Pair screen. Every network screen belongs to Micropixel itself — never to another VenueOS venue.

   

4. Switch advertising on

   Open the screen, set Status to active, tick Advertising on and check the orientation (landscape or portrait — creatives only play on matching screens). Save. The right-hand panel shows exactly what the screen will play.

   

5. Make groups

   Network → Groups for targeting sets like Geelong CBD, Surf Coast, Cafés or Gyms. Tick screens by hand, or give the group a smart rule (regions, suburbs, venue categories) and matching screens join by themselves — including new ones. A screen can be in as many groups as you like.
