A good and modern Digital Signage should be

Easy to use
Easy to set up and maintain
And still have advanced high end functionality

New functionality is always in the pipeline. There are no extra fee's which might appear as a surprise when you want to adapt new functions. All is included in the license fee.

In GoodSign Digital we always listen to our customers. Lots of the functionality in our software has been developed because customers have told us that this would be a good function to have.

Therefore we often say that our software is developed by our customers, not by us? We simply code and implement new ideas into our excisting solution.

FUNCTIONALITY

   Time schedules

---

Time scheduling is mandatory for all digital signage solutions. With our system you can use the time scheduling in several ways: Schedule playlists Schedule single files Schedule folders of files Play length on single files, as images, can of course also be adjusted. While the default time for an image is 10 seconds, they can be scheduled to be displayed as short as 1 second

 

   Audio support

---

We support audio files such as mp3. Audio files can be added to playlists, and they will play in the background of the visual content. You can also set up playlists with audio files only, and even add time schedules for when they should be played. This small feature actually makes you able to use our CMS as an AV system, often used in retail stores.

 

   Synchronized appearance

---

Serial connected screens are synchronized. This means that the content will change at the same time if playtime is set to the same duration. Without this functionality, content on each screen will change randomly and it will look very confusing for the customers. Synchronized content will work also if one or more screens have merged content. The solution is available for all our player versions; Samsung Tizen, LG WebOS and Android.

 

 

   Supports many operating systems

---

We support all SoC screens from Samsung and LG. They have an integrated Linux operating system (Samsung: Tizen, LG: WebOS) which makes external hardware/player unnecessary. We also have an Android software version, which make customers able to purchase relatively cheap external players. And we also of course have a Windows version of our player software. Windows players are usually more expensive, but are often used for critical screens, as big LED screens etc.

 

   Software integration

---

Integrating other software can be done in several ways, but most common is to set up a webservice which "subscribes" to data and wrap it in a custom made template before it is published to the screens. This can be any kind of numbers, graphics etc and of course, it will show live data.

 

   Easy installation

---

Adding new screens on the CMS as well as installing and registering them has never been easier. Each player can even be registered from a barcode which is generated from each screen. Simply scan the barcode during installation and you can be sure that the correct location is defined.

 

   Active Directory (AD) integration

---

With Single Sign-On user credentials and access is heritaged from the customers own network access. Once logged on to the company network, access to the CMS is automatically granted. This gives an extra layer of security as well as better control of which users that have access to the software.

 

   Dividing screens into several zones

---

Creating zones and display different content in each zone make you able to split up the screens. It can be used for videowalls, but also on single screens. One purpose could be to have integration with external software as for example que system, stock or exchange rates in one part, playing together with ordinary content.

 

   User templates

---

We can create custom templates for the customers, based on their requirements. This avoids users to upload content which is not according to the comnpany’s graphic profile, as well as makes it very easy for users without graphich skills to create stunning content We also have default templates for addign news, weather forecast etc.

 

   Weather depending content

---

With a smal plugin, it is possible to schedule content for different weather conditions. Sell umbrellas if it rains, or sun lotion if it is a sunny summer day. The software will get weather data online and display content based on that. So it depends of course on accurate weather data :)

 

   Easy to use for both users and admins

---

Everything is made so that users can administrate their digital solution inhouse. From adding and installing new screens. Changing name, orientation, size and locations of players. We will always assist no matter what customers need help to, but from our experience most customers prefer to do tasks as this inhouse since it saves lots of time.
