Digital Signage - Software overview

Introduction

Easyweb digital signage uses CampaignManager – an easy to install, easy to use, custom designed piece of digital signage software.

CampaignManager enables information-worker level staff to easily, effectively and securely manage content on any number of devices from the comfort of their desktop.

CampaignManager will help you to do the following:

  • run the back end from your own network, or use a service provider

  • to schedule images, web content, RSS, video, HD Video, Flash, Silverlight, Terrestrial, Satellite or cable TV to any CM device anywhere in the world

  • deliver interactive, touch screen, blue tooth and face-recognition driven media

  • run over any network you need it to, GPRS, 3G, Sat, LAN or WAN

  • alert you when devices go down, but not before it tries automated recovery and intervention

  • facilitate access to remote devices regardless of their connectivity

  • allow you to generate reports in Excel, PDF or web of all playback activity on the network

  • tell you what every device is playing any time you want it to

CampaignManager requires you to run at least one standard PC equipped with windows, the .net framework and the latest version of DirectX. If you're looking to operate a single network of signage it is recommended that you install the following before using CampaignManager:

  • Windows XP (SP2) or above

  • Microsoft DirectX 9.0c (March 2008)

  • Microsoft .NET

  • Framework v2.0

  • Adobe Flash Player 9

  • Internet Explorer 6 or above

  • Windows Media Player

Hardware requirements:

The specs of the player are mainly dictated by the content that will be displayed. If you want to show normal quality video clips and some web content then a standard PC will be fine. High Definition videos will require you to include an external graphics card with 128/256 mb ram to ensure smooth playback. If rss feeds are being shown as a ticker then the player will need to be capable of running directx9.0c.

The minimum requirements are the same as .net framework

Generally speaking this is what we recommend:

  • 1 GB Ram

  • P4 or equivalent (not Celeron)

  • 128mb Separate graphics card (not shared)

In many cases a Celeron and 256MB of ram will be sufficient for running CampaignManager, but in conclusion, it all depends on the type of media you are planning to show!
