Digital Signage
The use of digital displays — TVs, monitors, tablets, video walls — to show managed content like menus, ads, wayfinding or information.
Digital signage replaces static printed posters, menu boards and notices with screens that display content delivered from a central content management system. A signage platform like Spot handles three jobs: storing assets and layouts, scheduling what plays where, and delivering it to player devices that drive the actual screens. Modern signage is expected to update in real time, keep playing during network outages, and run on cheap commodity hardware.
