Digital Signage
Digital Signage is a phrase coined to describe the use of a Display:Device driven by a Media Player to present a variety of information, entertainment or advertising (called collectively Media) to an audience who are in a position to view such a display - normally for a relatively short time. The Media Player is generally updated with new media via digital file transfer - either manually using portable memory modules or via a computer network such as the Internet or a network owner's Intranet.
A Digital Signage Network is a collection of Digital Signage Media Players controlled from some central location via a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide area Network (WAN). Provision is generally made for a Media Scheduler which allows the collection of Media Players to be controlled from a central location. Some solutions also make provision for local operators to customise the Media displayed. A network of Players will generally require a Network Management System to allow the health status of the entire network to be observed from a central point. Digital Signage Networks deployed in the retail sector for the purposes of advertising may also require a means to provide an Audit Trail of the media played.
