Choose the right hardware, connect it, get it online, and keep it running: our players, TV apps, and displays in the browser.

> **Type:** area
> **For:** everyone who plans, installs, or looks after the hardware behind the displays

![What a device that is not yet assigned shows: the check-in indicator, the heading, the six-character pairing code in two blocks of three, the three steps into the portal, and the footer with device and display identifiers](/devices/bilder/989129aa-overview.png)

*The first thing a new device shows, and the start of every setup.*
