The signagelive® Display Edition is our flag-ship player used in 1,000s of locations all over the world. The Display Edition works on any Windows PC and, when installed, will turn a PC into a dedicated digital signage device offering full support for fullscreen, multi-zone and interrupt functionality.
The signagelive® Virtual Player has been developed to work with all SMIL non-PC hardware devices (www.a-smil.org) and offers an ultra low-cost digital signage player that supports still image and video formats in fullscreen mode only. In addition to supporting all SMIL Open standards hardware, we have developed a Virtual Player software client using Adobe Air technology (supporting JPEG/PNG images and FLV video) that emulates a SMIL hardware device and can be installed on any Desktop or Mobile operating system that support the Adobe Air runtime.
The signagelive® Screen Saver Edition presents as a standard Windows screen saver option enabling unused PC screens to become digital signage devices. The Screensaver Edition is used in customer facing situations to promote products and services, whilst in corporate offices it is used to keep staff up to date with the latest internal communications and to display live IPTV streams to the desktop.
Giving the user control over when they view the remotely scheduled content, the signagelive Desktop Edition will provide a ‘you’ve got media’ task bar notification on a Windows PC alerting the user that a new piece of media or playlist has been sent to them to be viewed. All user interaction is tracked and logged on the signagelive servers so you know exactly who has viewed your media content.
To get up and running with signagelive® all you need is an Internet connection and a hardware device to play your media. signagelive® will work on most modern PCs but if you are looking for a dedicated digital signage device our information on recommended hardware will help you out.
