I’d like to have digital signage on
my video wall, what else do I need
and can you give me ideas of what’s
available?
You will need digital signage software
and either a signage player (also called a
media player) or a spare PC in order to
play the presentation onto the screens.
Clever Little Box Luminis AiO (all-in-one)
digital signage system is a media player
(also called a signage player), preloaded
with their digital signage software. It is
plug-in and play and can be used stand-
alone or on a network and controlled
locally or via a web browser. Landscape
or portrait display options.
Luminis AiO, has only one output so
you can only send the content to one
screen. The splitter box will allow this
content to be displayed on each of the
four screens (using our 2x2 video wall
example), or you can display it across all
four screens. You can change content
and schedule content to play at different
times of the day, and using the splitter
box you can display this content on one
or more screens. However, if you want
to be able to show different signage
presentations on all four screens, you will
need four Luminis signage players with
preloaded software, each showing its
own presentation, and a matrix switcher.
Repeat Signage is truly flexible digital
signage software for Windows. It allows
pixel-by-pixel control of displays including
plasma screens, LCD monitors and
projectors. Now with touch screen
support.
Repeat Signage is digital download only.
The Standard Edition is designed to
be used over local area network (LAN)
and can display scheduled content
onto one or two screens. You can play
your presentation on a spare computer
or media player (mini PC). With the
Standard Edition you can use it with two
screens for a single licence.
Repeat Signage lets you display a variety
of media including pictures, animated
gifs, video, RSS feeds, Flash clocks,
PowerPoint, webcam, web browser, etc.
Repeat Signage Professional is designed
to be used over a wide area network
(WAN), updating any new content onto
screens wherever they may be located.
A+K PADS Professional digital signage
software lets you design, schedule
and distribute content across multiple
locations and/or networked environments.
PADS Professional is a bundle of
applications for Windows: Designer
allows you to compose presentations
with any possible content including
PowerPoint, YouTube videos,
Macromedia Flash content, live TV, ticker
tapes linked to RSS feeds and Internet
pages. Manager allows you to decide
where and when your presentation you
have designed is shown. PADS Viewer
ensures that your scheduled content is
played at the right moment on the display
screen.
PADS Professional has options to choose
the software and/or media player(s) for
any number of screens.
Digital signage software can also be
displayed from the computer or signage
player through a projector onto a
large projection screen. It can also be
displayed onto desktop screens, for
example, in a reception area to display
information for students and visitors
about current or forthcoming events.
Digital signage software, such as
Repeat Signage, which has touchscreen
support, can be displayed on an LCD
touchscreen, for example, on a reception
desk. This allows visitors to check-in,
request brochures, etc.
The reason a digital signage player or
dedicated PC is needed to display each
of your signage presentations is because
it is not practical to have your normal
computer you use daily, playing out
signage. In most environments, there
are usually some spare old computers
lying around, so one can be used to play
signage software. However, do check
it has a suitable VGA or HDMI port to
use with your screen or video wall. You
can buy an inexpensive graphics card
with an HDMI output, to replace the old
computer’s existing graphics card, if
need be.
The market for touchscreens is growing
and currently there is very little digital
signage software for touchscreens. To
display your signage presentation on a
desktop touchscreen in the reception
area, for instance, you could place
the computer or signage player box
beneath the reception counter. However,
if you wanted to wall mount a larger
touchscreen, for example, a 42-inch
diagonal touchscreen, for your signage,
but you want to have the computer
