Digital signage
Managing the content shown on screens in shops, hotels, hospitals and offices from one piece of software.
Digital signage is the practice of managing the content on screens in public and working spaces from central software. The screens might hang in a hotel lobby, a hospital corridor, above a restaurant counter or inside an elevator.
The idea is simple: content changes in one place, and every screen knows what to show and when. Instead of walking from screen to screen with a USB stick, you upload an image, a video or an announcement to a panel and choose where and when it plays.
What a digital signage system is made of
- Screen: a Smart TV, a professional signage display or a touch panel.
- Player: the app or small device that runs the content on the screen.
- Management software: the panel where you handle content, programs and screens.
A hotel, for example, can show breakfast hours on the lobby screen in the morning and the restaurant menu in the evening. MIA brings these three parts together and runs on your own server. For a longer introduction, read what is digital signage.
