Mediaboard FAQ

Mediaboard is a digital file organiser software that lets you organise, display and distribute your content on one screen.

Mediaboard goes further than the traditional presentation tool allowing you to view, play and give away different kinds of digital files, projects and presentations (e.g. Powerpoint) in an app.

Mediaboard multiplies the possibilities and the impact for content display and content sharing in meetings, presentations or for private use.

Your board gives you immediate access and clear overview to projects, work samples, videos and other files with a design component that enables you to create beautiful styles your content.

Mediaboard is available for PCs, tablets and laptops with Windows Vista and Windows 7-10.

In Development: Mac OS and Android

You can download Mediaboard as a setup file and install it like a normal Windows program. Or you can download and unpack the Mediaboard Zip archive and then start Mediaboard directly from the unzipped folder.

You can share or give away your Mediaboard by making it available on a shared cloud drive or making a copy directly from your board onto a USB stick or other removable drives.

Mediaboard is compatible with common cloud providers like One Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive or Magenta Cloud. There needs to be a sync client installed on computers where Mediaboard is being used via the cloud.

Cloud drives offer versatility. However we also believe that giving your files away – as in the case of Mediaboard – on a USB stick is also a good and familiar option for easy replication and secure transportation of larger size files.

The total size of a  shared board changes according to the the cards (files) which you choose to make portable. The more the number of portable files, the larger your board will be.

If the capacity of your USB or other removable disk is enough, Mediaboard will inform you.

You can copy and distribute the Mediaboard FREE version as often as you like. This can always be copied with up to three categories. More categories are not possible in the FREE version.

You can copy and redistribute the Mediaboard PRO version as often as the license allows (1:1 inclusive copy). Any inclusive copy made from an original board is unrestricted in use. If the number of inclusive copies of an original board has been reached, Mediaboard will notify you. You can remove this limit by reloading your board with categories (Category Pack). Visit our shop for this.

Generally applies:

• Each Mediaboard can be copied and the PRO functionality of each copy is unrestricted.
• Only one original board can make inclusive copies, at no extra cost (number depending on license) containing the equivalent categories of the original board (1:1 inclusive copy).
• For further copies charge your board with a category top-up so you can create new categories or edit existing ones. (Category Pack).

Categories enable you to group your cards using topics. Categroies are the overall structure in a board.

Any digital media or link that you want to add to your board is presented as a card.

A card contains the title, description, a thumbnail and the media itself (file or link). A card design can be customised in many different ways.

We use the term card as an alias to describe an interactive object that supports various multimedia actions.

Making cards portable making your content mobile.

If you want to share or give away content, the cards (files) have to be made portable so that your content can be opened on other computers.

The ‘portable’ function can be turned on or off on every card.

Mediboard comes with a portable video player and PDF viewer. You can play most videos and open PDF documents.

All other files have to be supported by your system. E.g. Microsoft Word has to be installed on your computer if you want to open a Word document.

1. Start again using the Easy Loader and repeat the download process.
2. If you have downloaded Mediaboard using the ZIP archive, extract the file. You will find the, ‘Mediaboard.exe’ file in the new Mediaboard folder. Start this file.
3. The download can fail if you download Mediaboard in a programme folder or directly onto the C: drive.

The PRO Version contains more categories and cards than the FREE Version. If you have reached the limit you can copy your board up to 4 times (as described above). More copies require a new PRO license.
