Choosing Between a PC and a Media Player

July 30, 2010

When installing a digital signage network, deployers must choose the technology needed to run the system — a PC or a dedicated media player. Each has pros and cons, so deployers need to consider cost, flexiblity and scalability, and ease of use. When making the decision, know the answer to these questions:

• How long will the unit be running?
• Will the signage use any speciality software?
• What is the budget?
