Use clustermode

What is clustermode?

Clustermode lets multiple displays work together to render a single app's data. Imagine a long list of appointments that doesn't fit on one display — clustermode spreads the appointments across multiple displays so viewers see more at once.

Clustermode example

Setting up clustermode

If you've found a use case for clustermode in a specific app, you need some extra configuration.

  1. Enable clustermode inside the app you want to use. Some apps have extra clustermode-specific settings — refer to the app's own guide if you're unsure what they mean.
  2. Configure the displays to use this app:
    1. Go to Displays in Lumicast.

    2. Click Display information:

      Display information button

    3. Open the Settings tab of the display.

    4. Under Display metadata, click + Add and select Display number. Enter the number of this display — e.g. if you have five displays, give the first one 1:

      Set display number metadata

    5. Click Save.

  3. Repeat for every display in the cluster. Finally, make sure the app is selected to play on each display.
