About This Guide

■Document Revision History
■Document Organization
■Related Documentation and Resources
In the documentation for Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director, we changed the terms “master” to “lead, leader, or primary,” the term “slave” to “secondary,” the term “whitelist” to “allowlist,” and the term “blacklist” to “blocklist.” There are currently no changes to the product’s syntax, so these terms are still present in the documentation where the current code requires their use. Where an industry standard exists, such as IEEE terminology, we cannot alter the term until the standards change.
Cisco Creative Services for Cisco Vision
The Cisco Vision solution combines high-definition video delivery with state-of-the art digital signage to deliver distinctive in-venue experiences. To help venues ensure the quality of their content and to achieve a high level of return on their investment, Cisco Systems offers Creative Services. This service provides a comprehensive content strategy designed to address the goals of both sponsors and advertisers and of the venue, with top-quality digital content created by our team of award-wining creative experts.
Several crucial factors contribute to the success of any digital signage deployment—not the least of which is the quality of the content. To sponsors and advertisers, the quality of the displayed content can significantly contribute to the effectiveness of their advertising campaign. To a venue, the quality of the displayed content can make an even greater contribution to their ability to generate incremental sponsorship revenue.
For more information, please contact the Cisco Creative Services team or your local Cisco Systems account representative.
