This is the default layout for the digital signage system. All content occupies this white space on rotation.
The dimensions are proportional, so you do not need to adjust any sizes.
It is worth bearing in mind how your created content will fit into this overall look on the screens on campus. Some tips for better looking content:
Avoid portrait style images or layouts, the screens and this layout are optimised for landscape shaped content
Keep font styles and sizes consistent where possible
Avoid poorly contrasting colours
Avoid cluttering the content area
