Breeze is a hybrid SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) product. Accessing the Breeze server with a web browser means access is reliant upon the local Internet connection.
Breeze Players, devices situated behind screens which run the digital signage, rely on the local network and the Internet to communicate with the Breeze server. If a network connection between the server and players is interrupted or absent, the players are not able to receive updates from the server, such as changes in content, playlists, schedules and more.

HDM I VIDE O INPUT
The BRZ-301 model of Breeze Player allows for an external video source to be included on the digital sign. This means cable programming, live video input (from external hardware) and a variety of other video signals can be embedded directly in the playlist!
Incorporating cable programming is the most common use for external video sources in digital signage. The image below depicts a cable box sharing a video signal between a television and a Breeze Player. This cable television video signal is then displayed as part of the playlist on the digital sign.
The resolution of the HDMI video input signal must match the resolution selected in the Video Input widget that is part of the playlist. If the resolution does not match, the HDMI video input signal will be distorted or absent.
Two HD resolutions are supported as video input signals: 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720.

HDMI IN P U T CO N N ECT I O N
5. HDMI In (Optional):
a. Plug an HDMI cable with a video input signal into the HDMI IN port ( ). (Please see the illustration
on page 4.)
b. Send a playlist to the player containing a Video Input widget to see the video input signal through the
Breeze Player.
Note: Testing with the HDMI IN application is NOT recommended. Only one application can control the HDMI
input signal at a time. If the HDMI IN application is still running, the Breeze Player cannot utilize the HDMI input signal and the video input will be absent in the playlist.
This issue can be averted by not running the HDMI IN application to test the video input signal.
