Content Playback

All digital signage has a component of the system that controls the playback of content on the displays. Understanding the elements that comprise content playback is essential for successful deployment and management of your SmarterSign digital signage network.

Key Components of Content Playback

Hardware

The physical devices that display your content. Sometimes these devices are called media players or digital signage players.

Software

This is the software running on the hardware device that controls playback of content. In the SmarterSign system we call this SmarterSign Player.

Network

All communication between the SmarterSign Manager Web based tools and the SmarterSign Player software happens through the Internet. Network connectivity (hard wired or WiFi) is required for the system to work.
