# Assign player displays

You can assign up to two displays to a player and configure them. To do so, perform the following steps:

1. Go to **Channels > Location**.
2. Select the location to which you want to add the player.
3. In the **Managing players** pane, double-click on the player or select it and click on **Edit**.
4. Switch to the tab **Display 1** and edit the following display settings:

| **Display-Name** | Specify the name of the display. |
| --- | --- |
| **Orientation** | Select one of the following display orientation settings: - **Controlled by player** - **Landscape 0°** - **Portrait 90°** - **Landscape 180°** - **Portrait 270°** |
| **Display control** | Specify how IXM One communicates with the display: - **Standard (Player-OS)**: uses the power save mode of the player software. - **VCP**: screen supports VCP/ESA commands (HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort). - **RS-232**: screen is controlled via a serial interface. Select an RS-232 display configuration from the subsequent dropdown. |
| **Display times** | Select operating times: - **Always on**: set by default. - **Manual**: manually set operating times. |
5. Click **Save** to save your changes.
6. If you have two displays, switch to the tab **Display 2** and edit the display settings as described above.
