# OuroCast > Build menus and screens, schedule them across every location, play them on a Roku, an Android TV or in a browser, and earn from local advertising on the time you share. OuroCast builds your menus and screens, schedules them across every branch and plays them on a Roku, an Android TV or in any browser. Share some of the time with advertisers nearby and keep most of what every play pays. OuroCast is a product of Delato Creations Inc., based in North York, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. ## From an empty screen to a screen that earns, in four steps 1. **Build a layout**: Start from a ready template or an empty grid and divide the screen into zones: a menu, a video, the clock, the weather, a slot for ads. A zone can carry on from one layout to the next without starting again. 2. **Schedule it on your tree**: Put your places and points in a tree: the business, its branches, every screen. A block on a branch reaches every point under it, and any point can still have its own. 3. **Pair a player**: Open the OuroCast player on a Roku or an Android TV, or in a browser on any device, type the code it shows into the panel, and it plays. It keeps the coming days on the device and goes on when the network does not. 4. **Earn from every screen**: Have a point verified, then give part of a zone to local advertisers. Every ad it plays through earns money for you, and on a busy screen that is enough to pay for the plan. ## Everything a screen in a shop needs, and nothing it does not - **Your screens earn while they play**: Verified screens and speakers can take local ads in a zone you choose, for the share of time you choose. Your earnings can pay the plan when the wallet does not. - **Layouts and zones**: Grids for wide and tall screens, layers, backgrounds and entrances, drawn the same in the preview and on the player. - **A content library**: Make a menu, a playlist or a clock once and use it on every layout. Nothing in use can be deleted by mistake. - **A calendar for every point**: Drag a layout onto a day. Priorities settle overlaps, and a guide shows what plays ten hours back and ahead. - **Live widgets**: Weather, air quality, UV and pollen, clocks and countdowns, news, QR codes, text and banners. - **Radio and live TV**: Thousands of stations and channels to choose from, each with backups the player turns to when one fails. - **Speakers too**: Audio points play music or a station with ad breaks, the music lowered under every spot. A phone, a tablet or a computer can be the player. - **Places on the map**: One place sets a point's clock, its weather and the campaigns aimed at where it is. - **Teams and roles**: One tree of roles: give a person a single branch, a region or the whole business. - **A true preview**: See what any point plays right now, drawn as its player draws it, before a customer does. - **Screens in step**: Playlists and effects keep one clock across your screens, and what you publish changes them all at the same moment. - **Video walls**: Several screens show one picture, each playing its own part of it. - **A dashboard for the day**: What is offline, what plays now, what is not published and what you earned, on one page. ## A local ad network on the screens that already hang in local shops Venues give some of their screen time. Advertisers buy plays near their customers. OuroCast matches the two, plays the ad, and pays on what the player reports. ## Pay per point, only for the points that play - The first 2 points (a point is one screen or one speaker) are free for good. - Prices are in CAD, per month. - Points 3 to 50: $3.00 a month per speaker, $6.00 a month per screen. - Points 51 to 200: $2.50 a month per speaker, $5.00 a month per screen. - From point 201: $2.00 a month per speaker, $4.00 a month per screen. - Only points whose player was seen in the last 30 days are paid for, from a wallet topped up from $20.00. - Venues keep 70% of what each ad they play pays; earnings are confirmed after 7 days and can pay for the plan. ## Questions and answers ### What do I need to start? A Google account to sign in, and a player for each screen or speaker: a Roku, an Android TV, or a browser on any device. Open it, enter the code it shows in the panel, and it is yours. ### What happens when the internet drops? Each player keeps the schedule of the coming days and the files it needs, so it goes on playing and catches up when it is back online. ### Do I have to show ads? No. Ads play only in a zone made for them, for the share of time you choose, and never from the categories you block. Without an ad zone a screen shows only your content. ### What if my wallet runs out? You are told at once and have days of grace to top up. After that only the paid points pause; the free ones go on playing. ### Which languages does it speak? The panel and the player speak 7 languages, Arabic and Persian from right to left. Campaigns can be aimed at viewers by the language they speak. ### Can I play the radio in my shop? Yes, from a directory of stations or any address you have. Playing music in public needs a licence where you are, and that licence is yours to hold. ### How much can one screen earn? It depends on how many advertisers aim at your area and how much time your ad zone gives them. A point earns once it is verified and on a paid plan, and the panel shows each play and what it earned. ## Contact - Email: hello@ourocast.com - Phone: +1 (437) 366-8656 - Location: North York, Toronto, Ontario, Canada ## Links - [English](https://www.ourocast.com/): the page in English - [Français](https://www.ourocast.com/fr/): the page in Français - [Español](https://www.ourocast.com/es/): the page in Español - [简体中文](https://www.ourocast.com/zh-hans/): the page in 简体中文 - [繁體中文](https://www.ourocast.com/zh-hant/): the page in 繁體中文 - [العربية](https://www.ourocast.com/ar/): the page in العربية - [فارسی](https://www.ourocast.com/fa/): the page in فارسی - [Sign in or start free](https://app.ourocast.com/): the OuroCast panel - [Terms of use](https://app.ourocast.com/terms)
