Breaking the interface barrier - digital signage

From the Technical Department
Why is it that digital signage is often seen to be a massively complicated thing that only a room full of techno geeks can manage; with the assistance of a room full of complicated and futuristic looking gizmos?
Digital signage does not have to be hard, difficult or even that time consuming. It can be something that is done quickly and on the fly without having to think much about it. Or it can even manage itself.
So how do you get from where you are now, to a place where running your digital signage system is both time and cost effective... and most importantly isn’t a headache and works well?
This blog post will be one of a series of posts, where I am going to let you in on a few tips. In the last instalment I’ll give you a sneak peak at what we’ve got in the production pipeline to make things a bit easier for you.
Tip 1
Build on what you know.
If you can turn a computer on and copy and paste files, you can run your own digital signage. It is that easy.
Using our Digital View range of Media Players, Videoflyers or even our very own ASMP-HD , updating content can be as simple as copying and pasting a few files to a USB drive and plugging that into the screen so it can get its latest updates. And thats it, you’ve updated your digital signage.
This may sound overly simplistic, but I assure you, it’s not. In fact with careful planning this can scale incredibly well, potentially tens, hundreds even thousands of players are possible. And we’re talking from experience, one of our biggest deployments is via this method- often referred to as “sneaker-net”.
Using this method you can still do some interesting things. On some of them you can schedule content for different times so you might set up a “sale” to appear until next Wednesday then go back to the previous normal content.
Sound interesting? Or want to work out what solution would meet your unique requirements? Call or email Darren or Raphael to discuss the options.
