The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Step 1 Point your browser at your Cisco Digital Media Manager (DMM) server.
a. Be sure to enter the full DNS name for your server.
A DNS name always includes some letters. Do not enter the server IP address, which uses numbers only.
b. After you enter the server DNS name, add a colon and the number 8443, and then press Enter.
For example, https://dmm.example.com:8443.
Step 2 When the login page loads, sign in to your account.
Note The “look and feel” of our login prompt can vary, depending on how your administrator configures your server to authenticate its user sessions.

Step 1 Click Canvas in the Objects drawer.
Step 2 Click an orientation in the Properties drawer.
Step 3 Choose a canvas size that matches the native resolution of your presentation system..
Note The video signal cable that connects a digital sign to a DMP 4310G constrains which native resolutions the DMP can detect automatically. This is a microprocessor limitation in the DMP 4310G. Only HDMI-standard resolutions are detectable over an HDMI cable, while only VESA-standard resolutions are detectable over a DVI cable.
Native resolution for a digital sign rarely deviates from the expected standard. When it does deviate, your DMP proceeds as if the native resolution is 1080i, which is permissible only over HDMI. Therefore, it does not work as expected over a DVI cable. (This behavior does not affect a DMP 4305G or a DMP 4400G. These models do not use the same microprocessor that a DMP 4310G uses.)
If this affects your DMP, disable the autodetect feature in DMPDM, and then choose the actual resolution manually.
Is your canvas locked? You cannot change a locked canvas.
