What is the Digital Signage ? How it Work ?
What is Digital Signage?
Digital Signage is the ability to display customized content on a flat screen TV. Digital Signage is often seen in restaurants where their menu is displayed using pictures, video, and text. Digital Signage / Digital Menu Boards used to be expensive and unaffordable, but with the recent reduction in prices of TVs and other equipment, it has become affordable and within budgets of even small businesses.
Typical Uses of Digital Signage:
Restaurants – For Menu Boards
Hotels – For displaying Events and Schedules
Corporate/Business – For Schedules, Internal Communications, and Human Resource Messaging
Schools and Universities – Schedules, Events, and General Education
Automotive Dealers and Service/Repair Shops – Promotions, Price Lists, Services
Professionals – Such as Doctors, Fitness Experts, Studios
Retail – Advertising and Promotion of products
What technical skills do I need to use Digital Signage?
This technology is easy to use, and content can be managed easily from any remote location (home or office), without the need for any technical expertise.
Digital Signage is a form of communication using electronic dynamic display (as opposed to traditional signage, using a static tin/wood/paper display).
Digital Signage has evolved in the past two decades from a platform that can be afforded almost exclusively by the largest companies (for example, McDonald’s) and large government venues (airports, transportation hubs, etc.) into a common way to communicate with visitors and customers.
The main turnaround, due to several trends, occurred in the last two-three years.
The prices of flat screens dropped (and keeps dropping) significantly, modern Digital Signage software as a service (cloud-based software) was introduced.
Wi-Fi and broadband became available almost everywhere in the developed world;
and the hardware context changed: PC prices also fell, and Android-based devices,
which can serve as Digital Signage players, were introduced.
These technological trends are now enabling almost any type of business and venue to implement Digital Signage
and communicate with their customers and visitors without breaking tight budget constraints.
The future looks even brighter, and the Smart TV trend will lower the costs even further
