SignStix to launch player-less digital signage

August 11, 2016

The digital engagement platform SignStix will launch a System-on-Chip player module in late September, enabling its software to be installed directly onto a range of commercial display panels, according to a company press release.

SignStix's SoC solution will facilitate direct integration with selected Toshiba, Samsung and Phillips commercial displays, alleviating the need for an external digital signage player and cabling. The company says this proposition will make the process of installation much simpler and more cost-effective than before, helping to reduce ongoing costs and maximize efficiency. 

"The new SoC player is a massive leap forward," said Nick Fearnley, CEO and founder of SignStix. "Though our existing SignStix Android player enables best-in-class 4K playback and content delivery, the new panels entering the market have very capable processors built in. Having SignStix on the panel itself is like having Netflix on your TV at home — no additional kit, boxes or cables required and minimal setup — just switch on the panel and start delivering engaging content. As there is no software download, nor any servers required, we've now made global digital engagement as easy as using your smartphone, and generally for a much smaller ongoing investment than most solutions you'll find on the market."
