# Piksel: Digital Signage Management Platform

> Piksel lets you manage screens, media, playlists, and schedules from one dashboard — with real-time updates pushed to Apple TV displays.

Piksel is a digital signage platform designed for businesses that need to control what plays on their screens — across one location or many. You manage everything from the Piksel dashboard: upload media, build playlists, create schedules, and pair screens. Your Apple TV displays receive content updates in real time without any manual intervention.

## How Piksel works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account">
    Sign up at the Piksel dashboard. Your account gives you access to screen management, the media library, playlist builder, and scheduling tools.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pair your first screen">
    On your Apple TV, the Piksel player app shows a 6-digit code. Enter that code in the **Screens** section of the dashboard to link the display to your account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload media and build a playlist">
    Upload images or videos to the media library, then drag them into a playlist. Set how long each item plays and arrange the order.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Schedule and publish">
    Assign a playlist to your screen directly, or create a schedule to play different playlists at specific times and days. Changes propagate to the screen in real time.
  </Step>
</Steps>
