Digital Signage
What is Digital Signage ?
Digital signage comes in a variety of forms. From large digital billboards to retail promotional screens, digital menu boards to airport flight information screens.
Digital signage is essentially electronic screens which display content to people. This can be for the purpose of advertising, marketing, informing, or simply entertaining.
These screens are typically found in high foot-traffic areas within retail stores, shopping malls, transport centres such as train stations and airports, businesses, restaurants and many other locations.
Digital signage offers the ability to display a variety of different content types on the digital screens – images, animations, video, as well as rss feeds and live data such as weather forecasts, news headlines, time, date, etc …
Updates to content can be made in a few different ways. A USB drive can be inserted into the media player – a suitable solution for owner/operator businesses. A networked system can be updated remotely via the internet.
