The Signital portal is built to reverse that, so you learn about a problem from the Dashboard before anyone in the building does. Here is the routine we recommend, and the tools b

What You Will Find Here

Four things we write about, because they are the four things people ask us about once the first screen is on the wall.

Players and hardware

Which player suits which job, what the trade-offs actually are, and how to avoid buying hardware you will want to replace in a year. Includes the Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, BrightSign and Raspberry Pi write-ups.

Content that works on a screen

A screen is not a slide deck and not a web page. Layouts, split screens, dwell time, how much text is too much, and the widgets that keep a loop from going stale.

Running a fleet

Scheduling, channels and playlists, proof of play, and keeping a few hundred screens healthy without visiting any of them. Most of this only becomes a problem after site ten.

Product news

What has shipped in the portal and on the players, and the integrations we have added, written up properly rather than as a changelog line.
