Digital Signage Hardware

The SignagePro digital signage solution is a unique combination of digital signage hardware and digital signage software that allows a single PC to manage and control multiple remote display devices, simultaneously and independently, from a central location. Each remote display is capable of running a variety of rich media and applications uniquely suited for that specific location. For example, one screen could be running a PowerPoint presentation about washing machines, a second screen in a different location could be presenting a video about power tools and a third screen could be displaying the results of a database search, while all screens are exhibiting real-time news briefs and updates at the same time. SignagePro’s digital signage software is compatible with all industry standard file formats, such as Flash files, Video, HTML, QuickTime, Microsoft Office, and JPG.

How Does SignagePro Work?

SignagePro is a comprehensive client-server digital signage solution. It is comprised of digital signage software that allows the central host (the main PC) to manage and control multiple remote client stations (displays) located anywhere in the world. The SignagePro digital signage solution offers remote-client digital signage hardware and digital signage software solutions as well. The operating system is easily updated by downloading it to the main PC and copying it over the digital signage hardware devices. The system supports frequent and automatic updates from the main server, and runs all applications sent by the central server.

What Are the Components of SignagePro?

Each package of SignagePro's digital signage solution includes the following components:

  • Applica digital signage software - installed at the server location.
  • USB key - content and server protection.
  • SignagePro Client – Digital signage hardware player with XVGA output up to 2048x1536 resolutions.

What Does SignagePro Require?

For successful setup, SignagePro requires the following components:

  • Pentium 4 processor or higher, with at least 2 GB of RAM.
  • Networking system with router (10/100).
  • CAT 5 cable.
  • LCD monitor with XVGA output.

Does SignagePro Require Constant Internet Connection?

SignagePro assigns media content to remote clients via the Ethernet. Once downloaded, all content can be scheduled and programmed onto multiple remote display locations without being connected to the web. The scheduling feature of our digital signage software allows users to choose content, time, and location of where it is to be displayed. The Internet is only needed to download your content, display web pages, and to run RSS feeds. Once downloaded, the digital signage hardware can be disconnected. It is light and compact, making it easy to carry and travel to anywhere in the world.

Does SignagePro Require Proficient Technical Skills?

Unlike competing systems, our digital signage hardware can be installed and supported by any entry-level technician and does not require special training. All applications are loaded onto one PC, and are accessible to multiple remote clients with no extra requirements or configurations. All upgrades and support are run on the server PC, and are not necessary on the remote digital signage hardware clients.

What file formats does SignagePro support?

  • Flash (swf, html)
  • Images (jpg, bmp gif)
  • Movies (avi, mpg, wmv)
  • Digital Audio Files
  • RSS News Feeds
