Menuboard Manager MDC finds and controls Samsung commercial displays — menuboards, drive-thru screens, patio boards — over your local Wi-Fi network, using Samsung's MDC protocol. Built for technicians and installers standing in front of a panel, not an office desk. Find displays. Sweep your subnet automatically, or add a display manually by IP if the network is locked down. No account, no cloud, no setup beyond joining the store's Wi-Fi. See live status. Power, input source, volume, mute, model, serial and firmware, refreshed automatically and on demand. Change settings. 47 read/write settings in a grouped, searchable form. Stage changes and apply them together, to one display or several at once, with a per-display, per-setting result — no guessing which one actually failed. Power and reboot, singly or in bulk, with confirmation before anything that could black out a store. Save profiles. Store a named set of settings — "Morning Open", "Evening Close" — and apply it to any display in one tap. Keep an audit trail. Every change is logged locally with a timestamp, target display, operator name, and exactly what was applied. Exportable to CSV via the share sheet. Try it without a panel. Demo Mode simulates three displays end to end — scanning, status, settings, bulk apply, profiles, history — so you can learn the app, train staff, or take it for a spin on a plane with no network and no permission required. Menuboard Manager MDC is free, works with no account, and sends nothing anywhere — it talks only to displays on your local network. It's a companion to Menuboard Manager, the digital-signage platform from OSM Solutions.
