There is no software to install as it comes pre-loaded on the hardware. It is a one-off purchase with no recurring licence fees.

The digital signage control unit is installed on the network and controlled through any web browser on any PC or Mac in the organisation. It does not require a keyboard or mouse itself. A digital signage control unit can send a single VGA output to a large display device such as an LCD, plasma or projector. It's not intended to stream the output to other computers.

Media content must be finalised before uploading to the control unit. Depending on your choice of media, you can do this with any common Video, Photo, Flash or HTML editing tools. If an external media house is being used, they will use the appropriate tools. The control unit supports a large number of multi-media formats in combination. This allows you to combine video or live TV with scrolling text, photos, Flash and web content.

Content is uploaded onto the digital signage control unit once, stored on the disk, inserted into a playlist and then played from the disk. The digital signage control unit is not normally used to play streams from a separate server, it is better to copy that media onto the Net-Top-Box and play it from there. Once content is uploaded to the digital signage control unit, its network bandwidth requirement becomes negligible.

Every zone in the display layout has its own playlist. Every playlist runs in a loop so there are never any gaps and there is no timeline scheduling. Zones can be optionally synchronised to link playlists. Content that has been defined as locally customisable can be customised by individual subscribers. For example; allowing one digital signage control unit to welcome visitors to the "London Office" while another digital signage control unit in the same 'Channel' welcomes visitors to the "Sidney Office".

The VGA output can be sent to 3rd party video distribution hardware to send to as many displays as the hardware will support, within the hardware's distance constraints. Every display will show exactly the same image. One digital signage control unit can clone its media from (subscribe to) another digital signage control unit over the network. This standard feature, known as Channel Manager, allows the same output to be shown on displays more than 500m away, or even on the other side of the world.
