Using Manual mode
Manual mode is straightforward to operate and is best suited for events where precise synchronization between audio and visual elements is not required.
Configure audio for Manual Mode in the Console
Select Manual as your sync method.
Trigger audio in the Desktop App
Since Manual Mode does not use a synchronization protocol, playback depends on manually starting audio tracks to align with your visual presentation. This provides flexibility and direct control over the audio content.
Start the Desktop App:
Start the Desktop App and log in using the credentials provided by Pladia.
Manual mode requires no special hardware or setup. Simply ensure that a team member is available to manage audio playback using the Desktop App.
Activate your sync status:
When synchronization is active, users see the Start listening button on the PWA Landing page. Once they select this, they will see a Listening page. Once audio is triggered, they can click play to listen.Tip: Activate only when you are ready for the audience to begin their experience. Activating too early can lead to confusion if the live audio isn’t synchronized with their device.
Control playback:
Choose the appropriate audio track from the Select a track dropdown menu. Changing the selection during playback will interrupt the current track.
Play: Begin audio playback manually.
Restart: Restart tracks as needed to maintain alignment with your visual presentation.
Stop: End the experience and return users to the Landing screen.
Complete the show: Once your show is complete, return the status to Inactive. This directs users back to the Landing screen and prevents further audio triggers.
