Welcome to ‘‘DigitalSignageOnline’’

‘‘DigitalSignageOnline’’ is a hosted service for displaying information and advertising on digital screens. Our media player connects to our website where you can store your media content, schedule playlists and manage your players remotely over the internet. It's also possible to use content from external sources, giving you the greatest flexibility possible.

Q. Why use ‘‘DigitalSignageOnline’’?

You can use ‘‘DigitalSignageOnline’’ for multiple scenarios , but on a Pay-as-you Service (terms apply) e.g.

- Screen-based advertising
- Information / menu-boards
- Info kiosks
- Flight/Bus/train-schedules
- Waiting Rooms / Corporate Reception Areas and much more!

Q. Why is ‘‘DigitalSignageOnline’’ different from other solution providers?

We are different in many aspects, but the main reason is that ‘‘DigitalSignageOnline’’ always prioritises ease-of-use over advanced functionality. Our goal is that anyone should be able to use Digital Signage. We aim to support those features people actually use, and support them well. This allows us to have a cleaner, more intuitive user-interface which is easy to understand and operate – even for those who haven’t used such software before. After all, why should you pay a technician to set up playlists for your screens? If you can use iTunes™, you can use ‘‘DigitalSignageOnline’’ as well.

However, “under the hood” you will find quite strong features, such as active monitoring, queued transfers and other things you expect from a first-class Digital Signage software solution.

Q. What hardware do I need to use it?

‘‘DigitalSignageOnline’’ is very flexible, and does not require any specialized hardware.

The minimum requirements are:
• Display Screen of your choice
• Computer running Windows XP/Vista, Mac OSX or Linux
• Internet connection

Depending on the type of content you choose (HD-video in particular), you may need a certain level of hardware performance. You will obtain the best performance with a dual-core processor, HD-capable screen, and an ‘always-on’ internet connection at 1Mbit or better. We also recommend a discrete graphics card from ATI/AMD or nVidia for best possible playback, if you use high resolutions like 1280x720 or higher.

Q. Do I need to install any other additional software?

‘‘DigitalSignageOnline’’ requires Adobe AIR, but it will be installed automatically during the ‘‘DigitalSignageOnline’’ install-process.
For this and any other distributed system we also recommend that you install some kind of a remote control system for maintenance of the computers. There are many solutions available, but we have used www.logmein.com ourselves for quite a while and are very pleased with it. They even have a free version that is very powerful. Please note that we are not affiliated to LogMeIn in any way, please redirect any questions directly to their website.

Q. Do you support offline mode?

Yes, all content that is possible to download will be stored locally and played from there in case of network failure, and also to preserve bandwidth. The only exception is dynamic and streaming content which changes constantly.
