Before you start a digital signage project, learn what solution is right for your venue — and your budget. Here are seven basic questions to help identify the right system and infrastructure for your company’s needs.
What type of content do you want to display (e.g., static images, video, RSS feeds, live TV, etc.)?
How many locations and displays do you want to run the content on?
Will the content be the same on each screen, or do you want to show different content on different screens?
How do you want to manage your content and be able to change or update it?
Do you want to remotely control the on/off and volume functionality of the screen or confirm when content is played?
Based on location displays, will you have potential security issues? (Can someone simply turn off the display, change channels or even tamper with or remove the player?)
Does your existing network have the bandwidth to support digital signage traffic?
