The digital signage hardware requirements are:
- Power and Ethernet (network) connections at the sign’s location
- An LCD, LED, or plasma display - Information Technology (IT) recommends using a professional display instead of a consumer model. A professional model is less likely to experience image burning and is more suitable for the hours of operation a typical digital sign is used. IT recommends using Dell 55" and Sharp Professional displays.
- A TV mount - Generally, a tilting wall-mount will be sufficient. In some cases, a swivel mount may be better suited for the sign. IT will help you determine which mount is best for the sign.
- A media player (computer) to play the content - IT recommends purchasing a Dell OptiPlex Micro with the following specifications (no keyboard and mouse):
Dell OptiPlex 7000 Micro* |
