Would you ask a tiger to fly 100 metres? Or bake a cake in the freezer? Some pairings just don’t work. That’s exactly why digital signage devices call for perfect compatibility. Lucky for you, Fusion Signage runs seamlessly on most commercial-grade operating systems.

Here’s exactly how to perfectly pair your devices with Fusion Signage.
So you can send digital signage live in a matter of minutes.

 

It’s time to find your terrific team of signage devices. Maybe you have your screen sorted. Your Fusion Signage software licence installed. And you’re about to hit ‘power’ on your screen, but wonder if you need anything else before the whole lot sings together. 

With so many options, what’s your winning device combination?

Here’s everything you need to know about compatible digital signage devices for Fusion Signage software.

 

 

what devices do you need to get
your signage live?

To get your digital signage live with Fusion Signage, you’ll need:

      • Screen/s
      • Fusion Signage software licence/s
      • A media player*

*Empowered tip: you only need a media player if your screen/s aren’t System on Chip, where your media player is build into your screen

Now let’s take a look under the bonnet at your screen/s and media player.


what’s the difference between a screen and a media player?

Your screen is the hardware you use to display your digital signage to your audience. These come in a wide range of sizes, resolutions and even types of displays. Today, many screens come with an inbuilt media player, which is referred to as System on Chip (SoC).

Your screen may be an LCD, LED or OLED across many brands. These commercial-grade brands include Philips, Samsung, LG, Sony, and Hisense. Or any screen that has Android 4.0 or higher (excluding Smart TVs ).

Pssst… Don’t see your screen above? Test your device using our free trial, as it may still work. If you get stuck, please reach out, and we’ll connect you with the appropriate reseller for support.

Your media player is a small device that connects behind your screen. This signage device powers your Fusion Signage digital signage software and the content displayed on your screen.

There are many media players. Here are two examples of what they may look like -> 

Empowered tip: Commercial-grade screens / media players have been designed and developed specifically for businesses, corporations and organisations. It means that they are purpose-built to run 16+ hours a day with in-built heat management, include comprehensive security features and handy extras like commercial warranties.

 

is your operating system compatible with fusion signage?

It’ll sparkle your mind to know that all screens and media players listed above come with compatible operating systems (tested and approved!).

Whether you use a screen with SoC or an external media player, they’ll likely have one of the following operating systems onboard: Tizen, WebOS, Android, Windows, Linux, or Chrome OS.
