Would appreciate more detail – what does the management plug-in actually do?

Some of the highlights that the ScreenGate IP Streaming management plug-in enables:
1. monitoring the display output to make sure player media is indeed displayed
2. monitoring the player media output and display media input stream to faciliate in root cause analysis and establish network performance
3. accessing the display remotely to enable display-agnostic display control
4. switching over between different channel sources to enable continuous playback in case of player failure
5. identifying the media space uniquely to simplify display asset maintanance
