Introducing the Ticker: Your Own News Bar, Live on Your Screen

A smooth, broadcast-style scrolling message bar that runs under your content — edited from your phone, live on your TV in seconds.

Every news channel has one. That scrolling bar along the bottom of the screen — always moving, always readable, carrying the headlines while the main story plays above it.

Now your business has one too.

The Ticker is live on every SLX On Air screen today: a broadcast-style message bar that runs under your photos, videos and posts, carrying whatever you want customers to read — today's offer, your hours, an event, a phone number.

Content plays above; your message scrolls below — all the time.

Your content plays. Your message scrolls.
Nothing competes for the screen.

A screen can only show one thing at a time — but your business rarely has only one thing to say. Your café's menu is playing, but there's live music on Friday. Before the Ticker, that meant another post and a wait for it to rotate in. Now the message you want always visible stays always visible.

What makes it great

Live in seconds

Edit in the app, press save, watch your TV — no restarts. Flash sale till 6pm? On air at 4, off at 6, from your phone.

Broadcast-smooth

Rendered inside the display engine, in the same frame as your content — it glides through transitions and video without a stutter.

Matches your look

The bar takes its color and glass finish from your display theme. Change themes and it restyles itself instantly.

Speaks your language

Hindi renders as beautifully as English — conjuncts, matras and all — so you can talk to customers the way they actually talk.

Never leaves you blank

No messages? A graceful default rotation. Power cut? It comes back exactly where it left off.

Protects your screen

It periodically glides off-screen for a few seconds, so no static edge ever burns into a panel that runs 24/7.

Set up in about two minutes

  1. 1Open your board in the app and tap Manage Board.
  2. 2Under ON SCREEN, tap the Ticker tile and switch it on.

Your message library: 10 saved, each with its own switch.

Because everything updates live, the Ticker is perfect for messages that change through the day: breakfast offer in the morning, happy hour in the afternoon, “closing soon” at night — each one a ten-second edit from your phone.
