A practical studio workflow
Video Hosting for Exhibition Screens: Plan the Playback Path
Choose a hosted review copy for approval and a separately tested playback file for the installation.

The practical answer
Choose a hosted review copy for approval and a separately tested playback file for the installation. An exhibit should not depend on an untested venue connection.
A gallery approves a film remotely, then plays it on a dedicated screen for eight hours each day. Review and unattended exhibition have different failure modes.
Put it into practice
A three-step working sequence
- 01
Confirm the screen and player specifications
Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.
- 02
Test loop behavior and sound at the venue
Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.
- 03
Keep an approved local playback copy where permitted
Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.
Worked handoff
A concrete example
Test a full loop on the venue screen, then restart the playback device. Check whether the film resumes, whether audio returns to the right output and whether the display crops the picture. Record the installed settings.

Your project worksheet
Player model, resolution, orientation, loop point, audio routing, power recovery test.
Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Where uncompressed.io fits
Use uncompressed.io when you want hosted playback of a compatible uploaded export without another platform re-encode, alongside client review. Check current storage pools and allowances on the pricing page. If you require learning assessments or unattended exhibition scheduling, evaluate those systems separately.
Product reference: the existing uncompressed.io workflow guide. The scenarios and worksheets on this page are illustrative editorial examples, not customer testimonials.
Make the next step concrete
Test it with one real project.
Check the client handoff, then choose the plan that matches the work you need to deliver.
