Lowering TCO with the Right Media Player

July 3, 2014

A media player is a key component of a digital signage deployment, but the choice of media player can have a significant influence on the total cost of ownership for that deployment. If the deployer buys a media player that is not powerful enough for the intended application, not only will he quickly become dissatisfied with its performance, he will likely have to replace it. Buying a media player that is more powerful than needed means money spent on features that will probably never be used. This white paper discusses the various aspects of selecting a media player, such as:

• Identifying the goal
• Energy efficiency
• Price versus value
