What can I display and how do I update it?

Theoratically you can display any content whether it is images, videos, audio, text etc. Although you are limited by the digital signage system you use as some cannot use certain program files.

Before purchasing any system, you need to have an idea of what you would like to display and where and then choose a digital signage solution that will suit your requirements.

Once a system is in place, it is crucial to have good content that is updated regularly.

Updating a digital signage system is usually quick and easy. The newest digital signage services allow instant updates from one central computer or server to a whole network of displays anywhere in the country via the internet or even 3G. Some will work on an internal network and digital signage systems with a small group or single displays will have memory cards storing the content and schedules.

Is Digital Signage expensive?

As with most things, the price depends on the features and complexity of the system required. A multi site, multi display system will cost more than a single display in a reception area.
