Quick Start Guide

Quick Start Guide

  • New users must obtain an authorization code provided by the supplier to complete the “New User Registration.”
  • Upon accessing the Vispoint.cloud system, a new user must perform “Device Setup.” This involves transferring the downloaded compressed file onto a card, which is then inserted into the playback device. Afterward, the playback device will be registered and appear within the Vispoint.cloud system.
  • ·Once a new playback device is successfully registered on the Vispoint.cloud platform, each device receives a 30-day trial period. After this period ends, it’s necessary to purchase a Device Authorization from the supplier to continue using the playback device.
