Product Overview

What the Digital Signage Controller is for

A signage player that fails at 3 a.m. in a shopping centre 400 km away is an expensive truck roll. Everything in this controller is designed around not needing that truck roll.

Hardware watchdog, scheduled power on/off through an RTC, dual-image firmware with automatic rollback, and a remote-management agent that reports panel temperature and display link status alongside the usual CPU metrics.

Available as a bare board for integration inside your own screen, or as a fanless VESA-mount box. Both are supplied with your CMS client pre-installed and provisioning credentials pre-loaded.

Key Features

Engineering highlights

  • 01

    Dual independent 4K output

    Two displays showing different content from one player — one part instead of two, and one licence instead of two.

  • 02

    Hardware watchdog and RTC scheduling

    Independent watchdog recovers a hung player without human intervention; RTC handles opening-hours power cycling to protect the panel.

  • 03

    A/B firmware with rollback

    Failed OTA updates roll back automatically to the last known-good image. Fleet updates stop being a risk event.

  • 04

    Remote management built in

    Screenshot on demand, log retrieval, temperature and uptime telemetry, and per-device content assignment via MQTT or REST.

  • 05

    Any CMS you already use

    Pre-integrated with common signage platforms, plus HTML5 kiosk, MQTT-triggered playlists and offline USB scheduling.

  • 06

    Made for continuous duty

    Industrial-grade eMMC with wear-levelling telemetry, capacitors rated for 105 C, and 24/7 operation as the design assumption.

Customization Options

What we can change for you

Every platform on this site started as a customer-specific design. Ours is a customisation business that happens to keep a standard catalogue.

  • In-screen integration

    Board outline and connector position designed to mount inside your display chassis using the panel's own power rail.

  • Branded launcher

    Locked-down launcher with your logo, provisioning flow and support contact baked into the firmware.

  • CMS client integration

    We port and validate your existing player application, including offline behaviour and failover content.

  • Sensor add-ons

    Audience measurement camera, proximity sensor, ambient light dimming or NFC tap-to-interact modules.

  • Volume programmes

    Bulk provisioning with per-device credentials, serialised labelling and drop-shipping to installation sites.
