Sponsor screens that give every sponsor the time they paid for

A tier is a level of sponsorship in this event, named the way your prospectus names it. It is not a CueStride plan. A new event starts with Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, and an event has 1 to 10 tiers.

Each tier decides what its sponsors get on screen: a slide of their own, a shared slide of 2 to 12 logos, or no place on the screens at all. It sets the seconds each slide shows, from 3 to 60, and how many times each slide plays in one turn of the loop, from 1 to 5. The turns are spaced evenly, so a sponsor shown twice comes back about halfway round.

Beside each tier, the table says what one of its sponsors gets on Main's screens, in a prospectus's words, such as "20 s in every 1 min 20 s, 25 %". The order of the tiers sets the order of the slides, and nothing else.

A sponsor on a tier with its own slide fills the screen: its 16:9 slide when you uploaded one, else its logo large on its tile with its name under it. The tile is light, so a logo reads on a dark screen, unless you turn it off for a logo made for a dark background.

At the top sits your account's logo beside the event's name, and across from it the heading, "Thank you to our sponsors", until you change it or turn it off. A group presented by a sponsor shows Presented by and that sponsor's logo in the heading's place, as Hall B does here.

When the loop has more than one slide, a thin bar along the bottom fills as each slide runs. The colours and the font are the event's screen theme, else the account's.

A tier on a shared slide puts its sponsors' logos in an even grid, under the tier's name when the tier shows it. Each sponsor on the slide gets the slide's whole seconds.

A tier's sponsors split into slides of even size: seven logos with six a slide make slides of four and three, never six and one.

Every event has Main. Main holds every room of the event that is in no other group, and shows every sponsor on screens, except a tier or a sponsor you take out of it.

To show different sponsors in some rooms, add a group and tick its rooms. A group shows Main's sponsors and its own, or only its own: attach whole tiers, and name single sponsors in or take them out.

A group with no rooms is for screens outside them, such as the lobby; besides Main, an event has at most 5 of those. Each group's card in the Sponsors tab has a live picture of its sponsor screen and its link.

For track sponsors, a different sponsor in each breakout room, put them in a tier of their own, take that tier out of Main, then give each breakout room a group that shows Main's sponsors and is presented by its track sponsor.

The last part of the Sponsors tab shows each group's loop: its length, its slides in order, and for each sponsor its seconds on screen in every loop, its turns, and its longest gap.

With two Platinum, three Gold, three Silver, and six Bronze sponsors on the tiers a new event starts with, Main's loop is 1 min 20 s, and a Platinum sponsor gets "20 s in every 1 min 20 s, 25 %", with its longest gap 44 s.

The tab warns you, without refusing, when a sponsor waits more than five minutes between turns, when a group would show nothing, and when something you chose for a group is not on screens. A save that would make any group's loop longer than 15 minutes is refused, and says which group.

A change you save reaches every sponsor screen within about two minutes. All the screens of a group switch together, at the end of a slide at least a minute after the save, so a slide already running is never cut short; a screen with nothing on it yet fills in about a minute after the save.

Stood upright, a sponsor screen draws each sponsor's 9:16 slide, else its logo across the screen with its name under it, else its 16:9 slide letterboxed, and puts shared logos in two columns and the event's name over the heading.

For a screen at one room's door, use the room's own link. It plays whichever group the room is in, so the screen follows the room when you move it to another group, and the link itself never changes.

On a room's controller, Links opens Share a screen, whose Sponsors card plays the room's group and copies the room's own link. A group with no rooms, such as the lobby's, has its link in the Sponsors tab.

Open the link in the screen's browser: a TV's own browser, a stick, or a laptop. The screen needs no account, no sign-in, and no room password, keeps the display awake where the browser allows, and holds none of a room's screens.

A TV paired to your account can be switched to a sponsor screen from the Screens tab, without walking to it (Premium and up).

The event's attendee page, which attendees open on their phones from a link or a QR code, shows the sponsors too (Premium and up). Each tier sets its own size there: large, medium, or small logos, names only, or not shown.

A sponsor with a website links to it, and a room presented by a sponsor says so beside the room.
