From Wikipedia...
Digital signage is a form of electronic display that shows information, advertising and other messages. Digital signs (such as LCD, LED, plasma displays, or projected images) can be found in public and private environments, such as retail stores, clinics, retail pharmacies and corporate buildings.
Advertising using digital signage is a form of out-of-home advertising in which content and messages are displayed on digital signs with a common goal of delivering targeted messages to specific locations at specific times. This is often called "digital out of home" or abbreviated as DOOH.
The benefits of digital signage over static signs, in situations where changing signs are preferred over static signs, are that the content can be exchanged more easily, animations can be shown, and the signs can adapt to the context and audience, even interactively. Digital signage can offer superior return on investment compared to temporary and/or promotional signs made from other substrates.
While the term "digital signage" has taken hold throughout most of the world, some companies and organizations prefer to use the terms "narrowcasting", "screen media", "place-based media", "digital merchandising", "digital media networks", "digital out-of-home" or "captive audience networks".
Digital signage is used for many different purposes and there is no definitive list. However, below are some of the most common applications of digital signage:
1. Public information - news, weather and local (location specific) information
2. Internal information - corporate messages, health & wellness, news, etc.
3. Advertising - either related to the location the signage is in (pharmacy), education on pharmaceuticals and drugs (prescription and OTC), or just using the audience reach of the screens for general advertising
4. Brand building - in-store digital signage to promote the brand and build a brand identity for both the pharmacy and pharmaceutical manufacturers
5. Influencing customer behavior - directing customers to different areas (sales), increasing the dwell time on the store premises
6. Enhancing customer experience - applications include the reduction of perceived wait time in pharmacy waiting areas
7. Enhancing the environment - with interactive screens (in the pharmacy waiting area for example)
Content", in the context of digital signage, is the name used to describe anything designed and displayed on screens. Content can be anything, including text, images, animations, video, audio, and interactivity. It has frequently been argued that digital signage relies on good content if it is to work effectively.
While the technology is well-established, it is often the content that fails, because marketers have not adapted their thinking to produce appropriate and engaging content.
Content design (much like the design for static signage) is typically done through a specialist agency or in-house. While there are a great number of different software solutions available, the most popular are proprietary to digital signage. The use of other systems to run a digital signage network often does not provide the necessary flexibility and management, as the proprietary software can create conflicts with open-source software.
In many digital signage applications, content must be regularly updated to ensure that the correct messages are being displayed. This can either be done manually as and when needed, through a scheduling system, using a data feed from a content provider or an in-house data source).
Digital signage relies on a variety of hardware to deliver the content. The components of a typical digital signage installation in pharmacies and clinics include one or more display screens, one or more media players, and a content management server. Sometimes two or more of these components are present in a single device but typically there is a display screen, a media player, and a content management server that is connected to the media player over a network. One content management server may support multiple media players and one media player may support multiple screens. Stand-alone digital signage devices combine all three functions in one device and no network connection is needed.
Whenever the display in the pharmacy, media player and content server are located apart there is a need for audio-video wiring between the display and the media player and between the media player and the content server. The connection from media player to display is normally a VGA, DVI, HDMI or Component video connection. Sometimes this signal is distributed over Cat 5 cables using transmitter and receiver baluns allowing for greater distances between display and player and simplified wiring. The connection from media player to content server is usually a wired Ethernet connection although some installations use wireless Wifi networking.
To manage a pharmacy network, a management server is usually required. This can be located anywhere, so long as it is connected to the digital signage network. New content will be managed and organized here, while the actual content itself is stored and played on the player servers. Digital signage networks can either be closed or open to the web, which will affect how the content on the screens is updated.
