Digital Signage Software

Create your digital signage content

Use your own media

Drop and manage your media in a public Media Store (shared by all users) or a private Media Store (local content management). Media4Display supports all types of media content: images, videos, PPT, PDF, HTML, Flash, IPTV…

Create multi zones displays

Users can create slides allowing them to define the composition of a screen. These slides can contain an unlimited number of media zones. Each zone is associated with a type of media and are independent of each other.

Enrich your content with external data sources

Each media zone or banner can display content from external data sources in real time (RSS feeds, CSV/XML files, Web services, data bases).

Schedule and plan your content

Sequences

A sequence is a set of slides/media that will be displayed on your screens network. Media or slide broadcasting may be conditioned on a date/time or external information (stock level, prices…).

Planning

Each sequence can be planned « in a loop » or for an immediate broadcast on all screens or a specific group of screens.

Centralized management with optional “local content management”

A centralized communications department (or its communications offices) can manage all broadcasts on remote screens. It can be used also to delegate the broadcast management entirely or partially to local contributors (office or store manager, etc.) corresponding to different hierarchical levels.

Deploy your content

Scheduled display

Once sequences are established and scheduled, users can start the transfer of its content and its scheduling on targeted screens. Then, each screen displays the contents in a continuous loop according to the (specified) scheduling.

Interaction

Loops can be interrupted by external actions. These interruptions can be done via Media4Display API (Application Programming Interface) that can be integrated with existing IT applications (CRM, inventory management, schedules, intelligence data…). These interactions can also come from the Media4Display remote control that can interact with players from a smartphone, tablet or PC.

When connected to the players’ local network (Wi-Fi, LAN, etc.), this «remote control» lets users:

put screens in and out of stand-by mode
launch media/sequences
trigger actions
reboot and synchronize the players
