Scramble TV can be used in a wide variety of use cases. Think of it as your own personal media that can be moulded to your vision of what and how you want to communicate. In fact, after close to 20 years in the digital signage business, we’ve never found two customers that use their signage in exactly the same way. They conversations may be similar, but the end result is always unique. With Web3 content added to the the mix, we are likely to see even more variety in the ways people use Scramble TV.

First, here are some content ideas starting with the most basic:

  • Connect your wallet and choose one piece of art to feature on your screen, using your screen as an Art Frame.
  • Alternate between the NFT and a screen of information about the NFT. For example show the art for 1 minute, followed by some info for 15 seconds.
  • Set up a curated selection of your NFTs and rotate through them showing one per day, one per hour, or as a slideshow displaying each for a few seconds.
  • Mix in info about your selections, or about the theme of the collection you are showing.
  • Mix in teasers about upcoming themes you plan to show.
  • Add in some social media, such as your most recent tweets mixed in between content.
  • Add in some other curated content or news.
  • Add in a template like Nouns Watch which always shows the current Noun on auction and the most recent Noun sold (nouns.wtf).
  • Make your media about something completely different and bring in the NFT content to break it up or as an interesting aside.
  • Have a virtual screen in the metaverse showing Scramble TV content identical or similar to what your are running on a physical screen. When you change your content playlists, both the real screen and the virtual screen are updated.

Here are some use case scenarios:

  • Alice has a screen on her living room wall. She chooses a handful of her NFTs every week to feature on it. She likes to have one piece on the screen for a few minutes at a time followed by a brief explanation slide for about 30 seconds with the title and artist name and photo. Every once in a while, the screen shows the latest active auctions happening over at PartyBid. Her sister and kindergarten aged niece visit regularly. She gave a channel (playlist) to her sister so that she can upload photos of the latest drawings by her niece. Her niece is just thrilled to see her art show up too on the “Art TV” when she goes to visit Auntie Alice.
  • Bob runs a small creative agency. He and a bunch of the team are really into collecting NFTs. They use Scramble TV on a screen in their break room. It’s used as a bulletin board to update each other on the latest projects with videos, graphics showing work in development, summary slides, and sometimes calls for feedback and input. In between the work based content is the curated collection of the week. Every week a different person does a channel take over and presents a selection of their NFTs often changing the content daily to spread it out over the week. The “Take Over” is the hot topic in the office and gets the screen looked at way more. Upside is that people are more up to date on all the office projects. The weekly summary email that went out before Scramble TV, rarely got opened.
  • Naomi runs a Gallery that now has a dedicated NFT Art show section. She has Scramble TV running at the entrance and near a rest area. It always features highlights from the NFT show as well the other exhibits, information on upcoming shows, information on joining the gallery community, last posts from the Gallery official Twitter and Instagram, and info on merch available at the gallery. Content also includes a snapshot of the gallery twin in the metaverse, where you can also see a Scramble TV screen running similar content.
  • Ken runs a restaurant. He has a Scramble TV showing his menus and events. He is not very tech savvy, but someone put him in touch with Jenny, a freelance designer/digital artist from the neighborhood. She does all the design for Ken’s menus and events and runs his social media for him. She also uses Ken’s Scramble TV as her gallery and puts up her latest NFT offerings there. The art makes the media more interesting so the customers pay more attention to the screen. Lately, Jenny has hooked up some of her friends with other shops in the neighborhood doing a similar thing. Now they have an art collective and rotate their collections through the different shops.

Get the idea? The only limits are your imagination.

What would you like your media to be?

We will be dedicating ongoing resources to creating new templates and functionality to show more Web3 content. This will be in addition to our roadmap to make Scramble TV more decentralized, first by providing APIs and tools for people to add more content on their own, and later by moving the entire platform towards a decentralized model.
