</html>Logo
The Terry College of Business logo is displayed in top-left corner of the presentation in the Logo placeholder. This is a single static image. It is saved in the 2022-2023 folder as TERRY_logo_vertical_FC.png.
The image is scaled to fit in a 453x299 placeholder and center aligned.
BLC Photos
New Terry Digital Signage contains a placeholder at the top of the presentation that cycles through a series of photos of the BLC campus. The rotation of photos is determined by the content that is saved in the BLC Background folder in the Rise Vision storage. If a photo is added to this folder, it will begin displaying in the rotation. If a photo is deleted from the folder, it will stop displaying in the rotation.
All photos are sized to exactly fit the blc-photos placeholder size of 1450x301. To access the placeholder’s image settings, select the blc-photos placeholder, then click BLC Background.
The photos utilize the following configuration:
Folder of Images is selected as the image source, with BLC Background set as the folder source.
The Resume Playing from Last Position checkbox is checked.
The Scale to Fit checkbox is checked.
Alignment is set to Middle Center.
Duration each image shows for is set to 30.
The Auto Hide Navigation checkbox is checked.
