About LG EzSign 3.0 Editor
LG EzSign 3.0 Editor allows you to create advertising content quickly and easily.
Users can add their own pictures and texts to the default templates provided with the editor to create their
own content. The content created can be compiled into a playlist and be exported to the TV by exporting
to a USB device or using wireless network.
Such content can be played on an LG EzSign TV without any additional hardware or software. The images
transmitted through external input, such as HDMI, IPTV, or USB, as well as the TV programs that are
broadcasting in real time can be played along with user-created content.
LG EzSign 3.0 Editor is a software application running on a web browser. It supports running EzSign on
multiple TVs in Remote Mode.
