ScreenGate IP Streamer

Compared with traditional approaches to delivering content to digital signage screens, ScreenGate IP Streaming offers significant advantages:

  • it is IP-based
  • it leverages the extensive and growing infrastructure of digital networks
  • it uses the hardware and software products that are designed to operate on those networks

Because IP is a standard industry, ScreenGate IP Streaming’s initial installation is both less costly and less time-consuming. Any additional  screens can simply be attached to the network and interoperability and flexibility are guaranteed – providing simple and cost-effective scalability as a network grows.

Since ScreenGate IP Streaming is taking advantage of the existing network infrastructure as well as the technologies designed to maximize the quality of delivered content while minimizing bandwidth consumption.

When complemented with the Network Manager, Screengate IP Streaming offers a fully managed solution which monitors the network’s performance from end to end, identifying failures and fault locations and providing alerts for immediate action.  Network Manager also allows ongoing content switching and input selection.

  • The management API provides an interface that allows sensors on the screen – such as rain, light level or temperature – to cause the player to dynamically change content
  • designed for processing content, streamed using the highly efficient H.264 codec
  • Supports for both HDMI and VGA output
  • Plays locally-stored content in the event of network failure
