How it works

From a new device to a playing screen in three steps

No cables, no USB debugging, no technician visit. A screen goes from unboxed to broadcasting your content in about the time it takes to fill out a registration form.

Quick answer

Setting up a NoroCMS screen means installing the player app, reading the 6-character code it shows on screen, typing that code into the dashboard when registering the device, and publishing a playlist. The device provisions itself automatically once the code is entered, with no cables or manual configuration on the screen itself.

1

Install the player app

Install the NoroCMS player on any supported Android display: a tablet, an Android TV box, a signage panel, or an LED wall controller. On first launch, before it has any credentials, it shows a short pairing code on screen instead of a blank screen.

Register the device with that code

In the dashboard, go to Devices and register a new device. Type in the code shown on the screen. The device picks this up on its next check-in, usually within a few minutes, and provisions itself automatically: no adb, no manual configuration file, no physical connection to a computer required.

3

Upload content and publish a playlist

Upload a video or image to the media library, add it to a playlist, and attach a schedule targeting the new device or its group. The screen downloads and verifies the content, then starts playing automatically.

What happens after the screen goes live

Once a screen is provisioned, it checks in on a regular cadence for new content instructions and remote commands, uploads its play history, and reports its health status. You do not need to do anything further for routine operation: content changes reach it automatically through instant content push, and if it ever loses its internet connection, it keeps playing its last verified content thanks to offline-first playback.

If you ever need to decommission a screen

Retiring a device from the dashboard stops it from receiving new content and frees up its seat on your plan, without deleting its play-log history, which is preserved for reporting.

FAQ

Setup questions

Do I need adb, USB debugging, or a technician to set up a screen?
No. The default setup path is entirely code-based: install the app, read the code it shows, type it into the dashboard. Manual provisioning via adb is also supported for teams that prefer it, but it is not required.
How long does it take for a new device to come online after pairing?
Typically within a few minutes of entering the pairing code, since the device checks in on a short, regular cadence for new instructions.
What if the pairing code expires before I enter it?
The device automatically generates a new code and displays it, so you simply use the new code shown on screen.
Can I set up many devices at once?
Yes. Each device shows its own code and is registered independently, so a team member can be pairing several screens in parallel.
Do I need to configure anything on the device itself after pairing?
No. Once paired, the device pulls its playlist and schedule from the dashboard automatically and needs no further on-device configuration for routine use.
