Add a UI

UI creation.mp4Google Docs

TVMS provides three User Interfaces: Akua, Honua, and Iridium. These are three interfaces with different layouts, so you can choose which interface suits your needs better. You can check them out on the Templates page.

Once the UI is added, you have to specify it during the product creation.

This is a quick overview, for the detailed documentation, refer to the User Interfaces guide.

Go to the TVMS, click My Deployments, select desired UI Toolkit.

Click Add a User Interface, select a template you want. Refer to the Templates page to learn about the user interfaces. The following steps are for Akua:

• Specify UI Brand name, Login text (like a greeting while opening the app), support URL. Upload images: UI Background image of 16:9 aspect ratio and UI Brand logo of 2:1 ratio.

• Then specify a font, Roboto ABC is recommended. Choose the Focus Color - the color users see while selecting items in the users app. Then specify the Selected Content color.

• In the next step specify languages of the UI, set a default one.

• The next step is the menu items settings. Click Add Menu Items and select the items that must be in the user application menu, e.g. Home, Channels, TV Guide, CatchupTV, Recordings, Movies, Series.

• On the next step confirm the additional settings.

• Click Launch to finish the wizard.

Then, the new interface appears in the list.
