What is digital signage?
Digital signage means controlling content on digital screens – for example in stores, practices, canteens or at transit stops. Software manages the media centrally, schedules playback and distributes it to every screen.
How does digital signage work?
A media player (device or browser) fetches content from central software and shows it fullscreen. Playback can be scheduled by time, location and audience.
Typical use cases
- Retail: offers and brand content at the point of sale
- Hospitality: digital menu boards
- Practices and clinics: waiting-room information
- Public space: timetables, advertising, notices
