Frequently asked questions

A cloud platform for running outdoor screens — LED displays, venue cinema systems and signage screens. You manage content, schedules and screen health from a browser; a media player at each screen caches everything locally and plays it on schedule, with or without a live internet connection.

Cloud Cinema Pro is part of the custom screen solutions we deliver through Outdoor Cinema Pro — it comes with the screens we build and supply, and can run on suitable screens you already own. Get in touch and we will scope it with you.

Cloud Cinema Pro is built by Outdoor Cinema Pro, the Australian outdoor cinema and LED specialist supplying councils, resorts, schools and operators nationally. The platform grew out of running our own screens and our clients’.

Anyone who operates a screen that has to work without a technician beside it: councils with civic screens, holiday parks and resorts, sports clubs, retail precincts and attractions, and professional outdoor cinema operators running many sites.

A compact Android-based media player connects to your screen and runs the Cloud Cinema Pro device app. If your display accepts a standard video input, it can almost certainly be driven this way.

In most cases yes — the media player drives LED displays, projectors and commercial screens over standard inputs. Tell us about your setup when you get in touch and we’ll confirm.

Yes. Outdoor Cinema Pro — the company behind the platform — designs, supplies and installs outdoor cinema systems and permanent LED screens Australia-wide, so the hardware and the software can arrive as one working system.

No. Internet is used to receive new content and report status. Content downloads ahead of time, resumes through dropouts, and is verified on the device — playback itself runs entirely from local storage.

When power returns, the device works out what it should be doing and rejoins the program automatically — no one has to visit the site or press anything.

The platform monitors every device continuously — connectivity, playback, content readiness and storage — and notifies your nominated people when something needs attention. You choose who hears about what, and quiet hours hold non-critical alerts overnight.

Yes — pause, resume, stop, seek and volume from any browser, anywhere. There is nothing to install and no line-of-sight remote to lose: your laptop, tablet or phone is the remote. You can also hand the person running the night a secure operator link that opens the controls on their phone, no account needed.

Build the night as a sequence: sponsor reel, a hold while the crowd settles, the feature, another hold, then your announcements. Holds wait until you continue them — or auto-continue on a timer — so the night runs at the pace of the audience. Tag sponsor content and the platform builds a report of what actually played.

Press Play Now: pick any content, the platform confirms it is cached and ready, and it is on screen. When it ends, the schedule takes back over automatically. The plan is a starting point, not a cage.

Video, still images, looping playlists and text pages — quick announcement screens composed in the portal with your message over a colour, gradient or image background. Cinema-style sequences chain items into a complete session: trailers, sponsor reel, feature.

Pricing is tailored to the solution — how many screens, which sites, and what hardware they run on. Tell us about your setup and we will quote the platform and hardware together.
