Here&#8217;s a couple of examples where it might be helpful to have digital signage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Menus at restaurants<\/li><li>Informational videos at a waiting room <\/li><li>Religious messages in lobbies of places of worship<\/li><li>Event schedules at cultural centers or conferences<\/li><li>Streaming Live TV with sports news at a sports restaurant or bar<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building a Digital Signage solution can be fairly simple or also fairly difficult depending on what you want to achieve.  The simplest form of digital signage is to stick a video or slideshow presentation loaded on portable memory device and plug that to your TV.   This works however, it is difficult to change content and it is only one type of content that is being delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zee Digital is offering a <a href=\"https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/signage.html\">solution<\/a> that will assist businesses and nonprofits to achieve their messaging goals with digital signage.  It is a service that connects your existing HDMI-included TV screen with a Zee Digital Signage Player (ZDSP).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HDMI.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HDMI.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HDMI-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HDMI-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>HDMI on TV next to RCA connections<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dynamic content can be programed to change on a schedule, however, changes to the content on-demand would require a LAN or WIFI network connection to the Internet so that Zee Digital can push content down to the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>video below<\/strong> at Zee Digital Labs gives a highlight of what the physical raw setup is and what type of content can be projected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" controls src=\"https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IntroducingDigitalSignage720-Low-Res.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are more examples of the content available through digital signage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Twitter..jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Twitter..jpg 1000w, https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Twitter.-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Twitter.-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Twitter Hashtag feed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/NewsFeed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/NewsFeed.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/NewsFeed-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/NewsFeed-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Updates from news agencies in the form of a slide show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Menus.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Menus.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Menus-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zeedigital.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Menus-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Restaurant menu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, there are various content that can be projected with Zee Digital signage.
