Mounting and rotation

Hang a screen on its side and turn the picture to match — for a whole stage, one screen, or before pairing.

A stage’s orientation — landscape or portrait — says what the design is. Mounting says how the screen hangs. Most TV boxes and HDMI sticks cannot turn their picture, so Wunderframe does it: the player turns everything it shows, video included.

Set the rotation in the stage’s screen settings and a portrait-mounted TV turns its whole picture to match.

Set the rotation in the stage’s screen settings and a portrait-mounted TV turns its whole picture to match.

For a whole stage

  1. Open the stage

    On Venue → Stages, open the stage and find How is the screen mounted? under Shape.

  2. Pick the picture

    The four pictures show the TV as it hangs, with the picture upright on it. Pick the one that looks like your wall — no degrees to work out.

  3. Switch the canvas if you need to

    A landscape TV hung upright usually shows a portrait design. Choosing a turn on a landscape stage offers Switch to portrait or Keep landscape.

Under Shape, How is the screen mounted? shows the TV as it hangs. The player turns the picture; the TV needs no setting.

The Edit stage dialog for Restaurant menu board: Name, Venue, Floor and Space fields, Shape cards (Landscape, Portrait selected, Square) and four mounting pictograms — Upright, On its side top to the left, Upside down, On its side top to the right — above the Screens choice and the shot-shape setting.

Under Shape, How is the screen mounted? shows the TV as it hangs. The player turns the picture; the TV needs no setting.

Screens take the new rotation within seconds, without a reload. On a wall, turn each panel on its own with Turn in the wall’s Free arrangement — see Arrange the wall.

For one screen

One panel mounted differently, or an installer fixing a box on site? On Devices, open the screen, choose Change settings… and set How is this screen mounted?. As the stage says follows the stage (or its wall panel) again. A screen’s own setting wins over its panel, and a panel wins over the stage.

Before pairing

An installer can turn the picture before the screen is paired, to read the pairing code on a screen that already hangs upright:

  • Android TV — Rotation on the pairing screen.
  • Desktop app — Settings → Rotation.
  • Raspberry Pi — ← or → on a keyboard.

That choice stays on the screen and shows on Devices as Changed on the device, until someone sets the rotation there.

On a screen standing upright the pairing screen stacks everything, so the code and the Rotation button fit.

Check it

On the stage’s Preview, a turned screen gets As designed and As mounted. As mounted draws the TV the way it hangs, with the picture turned inside it. The identify label, the panel name at startup and the Android settings overlay are always drawn upright on the physical screen.
