When Images and Videos are loaded into Big Screen they are optimised for the locations they are assigned to. This means they are guaranteed that they will play back smoothly. Optimising these assets can take a few moments and sometimes you might not have time for this. In this case you can load assets into Big Screen via the Cache Client.
Right Click on the Cache Client and select "Load Local File"
Navigate to the file you wish to add and select the file.
The file will be copied to your Big Screen cache folder.
