Overview - Digital Signage X for iOS

As to continue the success of the previous Digital Signage App, we have developed a more comprehensive, yet powerful Digital Signage application running on the iOS platform. Again, Digital Signage X is divided into two versions - iPad version and player version.

Project Director and Player The iPad version includes a project creator and player. The Project Creator allows user to create the project layout; insert media items to different regions of the layout; set text ticker with static text or RSS feed or tweets from Twitter. The Player displays the selected project on iPad's screen or on an external screen with Apple's AV adapter (iPad2 and the new iPad can also use Apple TV for external screen output).

Digital Signage Player X This version is targeted for external screen output and can be run on the inexpensive iPod touch 4th and 5th generations. Of course, it can also be run on both iPhone4/4S/5 and iPad2 or later. With Apple Digital AV Adapter, the output resolution can goes up to 720p even with the iPod Touch 4th. Since project creator is not included, the player mainly imports project created from the iPad version thru Dropbox, it also includes scheduled update for specified project from Dropbox.

Remote Project Selection

Both iPad version and Player version already included a tiny web server to provide remote project selection using web browser. The selection web page is Bonjour compatible. That means, on the same network, a Bonjour compliant web browser or application can easily discover the device without knowing the device's IP address.
