We recommend using this opportunity to start fresh with your Carousel channels and content, rather than bringing over some stale messages and older content that you need to revisit anyway. We have a few simple channels available for free on our website, as well as Channel Branding Services that can take your organization’s look and feel and distill that into a new Carousel channel that’s totally you! If you DO want to move your existing channels/content please reach out to csm@carouselsignage.com for information on how to Export your Carousel Channels using the Clone Tool and get them over to us. Then once your content has been imported, simply follow the steps in this guide to finish up your journey to Carousel Cloud!
Please Note:
(Systems that have gradually updated from legacy systems from the early 2000s may experience some data translation issues and content may need to be recreated.)
Now that your Carousel content lives in the Cloud, you will need to configure your players to work with your Carousel Cloud Account. Please see the resources below for info on how to configure each player type:
( If reusing existing BrightSign players, please open a support ticket to schedule a Carousel 7 system update which prepares the players to migrate to Carousel Cloud. The BrightSign players must be series 3 or 4 models to work with Carousel Cloud)
