Installing SmarterSign Player on Windows

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the SmarterSign Player software on Windows devices.

A digital signage Player is like a specialized computer that powers your digital signs. It connects to your TV or display screen and takes care of everything that makes your digital signage work - downloading your content, storing it locally, playing it according to your schedule, and keeping your displays running smoothly. Think of it as a smart media box that ensures your content plays reliably, even if the internet goes down temporarily. While you can use dedicated digital signage hardware, many businesses also use regular Windows computers that meet the requirements below.

System Requirements

Before installing, ensure your Windows device meets the following requirements:

  • Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit)
  • Processor: Intel Core i3 or AMD equivalent (4th generation or newer)
  • Memory: 4GB RAM minimum (8GB recommended)
  • Storage: 32GB available space minimum
  • Network: Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection
