Built for digital signage
Everything you need to run professional signage on commodity hardware.
Works offline
Content is stored on the device. Displays keep playing without a network connection and sync back when connectivity returns.
Any content type
Video, images, audio, PDF, live RSS feeds, clocks, web pages, and HLS streaming — play virtually any media format.
Smart scheduling
Campaigns by time of day, priority, or location. Interrupt content, overlay zones, and weather-triggered playlists.
Easy deployment
Flash an image, power on, and connect. Displays register themselves and receive updates automatically.
Monitor everything
Proof of play, remote screenshots, download progress, and detailed logs — all visible from your CMS.
Video walls & sync
Synchronize multiple screens with <8ms precision. 12 choreography effects for dramatic cascading transitions.
Multi-display synchronization
Coordinate every screen in your venue
Venue-wide coordination
Imagine a retail store where every display transitions simultaneously, a hotel lobby where screens ripple content in a choreographed wave, or a stadium where dozens of screens play a unified message. Effects no single screen can achieve.
12 choreography effects
Diagonal cascades, horizontal/vertical waves, center-out bursts, staggered reveals, and more. Each display transitions at a different time based on its position in the grid — creating dramatic visual stories across your screens.
<8ms precision, zero infrastructure
All displays switch within 8 milliseconds of each other over your existing LAN. No sync boxes, no special hardware, no extra servers — just a WebSocket relay built into the lead display.
Any screen, any hardware
Mix Raspberry Pi, Intel NUC, laptops, any screen size. Electron + Chromium on the same network. Mirror mode (all identical) or wall mode (each screen shows a unique portion).
Zero-touch provisioning for large deployments
Rolling out hundreds of displays? Skip the manual CMS authorization step entirely. Pre-configure OAuth2 API credentials in a config file or bootable image — each new display registers itself, auto-authorizes via the CMS REST API, and starts playing immediately.
How it works
Create an Application in CMS with client_credentials grant and the displays scope. Add the Client ID and Secret to your player config.
Per-client isolation
Create separate CMS Applications for each client or site. Each set of credentials can only authorize displays within its scope — no cross-client access.
Works everywhere
Built into the PWA setup page. Works with Electron, Chromium kiosk, and standalone PWA — same config file format across all players.
