1.1.1 Standalone Display
The following diagram illustrates the simplest situation with a single display controlled by an individual. You might conceive of
this as a screen displaying information in the foyer of a school:
Note the significance of the highlighted features in that scenario:
l
User – The person controlling the screen content and its operation (that is, you).
l
Browser – You exercise control through a web browser (such as Mozilla
®
Firefox
®
or Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
). This
remains the case for even the largest digital signage network.
l
Local area network, Intranet, or Internet – In principle, you do not need to be physically close to the screen's location. This
becomes more significant as the size of the network increases.
l
Player – Player is the generic term for the appliance that runs the screen. Specifically, the player is the Black Box
iCOMPEL. The player has to be physically attached to the screen.
l
Display Screen – The equipment that displays the content you have defined. You configure the player to display various
media on selected areas of the screen at chosen times.
As you might expect, additional features are needed to support a network that includes Multiple Displays .
