INTRODUCTION Digital signage solutions and the
innovation accompanying them have helped
businesses worldwide to gain the attention of
prospective customers. Digital signage is not
restrictive, it has the ability to extract
information from various resources independently
and in real-time.

1. Software
Refers to the digital substructure that allows
hassle-free display of the data. It has the
following features

• CMS or content management system can be viewed as
  a command centre which performs functions like
  managing screes, media files, reports, schedules,
  etc.
• If you use Cloud, data can be distributed without
  geographical restrictions.

A digital sign board is used for commercial or
public purposes to display information to a large
audience.
2. Hardware
This includes physical components like digital
signage LED screen, media player, display mounts
etc. They can be divided into installation and
connectivity components.

3. Content
It can be pre-designed or live and consist of
varied forms of content like audio, video,
graphics etc. You also have the option of
delivering specific content depending on the
audience.

It's time to start the digital signage system
Clients have a plethora of choices when it comes
to digital signage displays-touch displays,
infrared-assisted technologies, multitouch
screens etc.

• The first thing a user has to do is to log into
  the CMS dashboard.
• Then the dashboard will pair with the display
  screen allowing the content to be shown on the
  screen.

3. The next step is uploading content to the
dashboard. The user can either use media from the
local storage or create specific content using
apps. 4. The next step is creating an
appropriate screen layout. A proper screen layout
allows the user to display single or multiple
contents within the space available. 5. The
last step is selecting the destination screen and
publishing the content.

Before buying buy digital signage displays online
or in-store from digital signage suppliers in the
UAE make sure that you check the following
features
1. Appropriate security
When you are uploading content for publishing,
there is data transfer. To protect your data,
digital signage systems should provide active
security features like encryption, access control
mechanisms etc.
2. Support all types of media
A good digital display system can support and
play all kinds of media without any drag or
glitches.

3. Multi-user access
A commercial establishment will have multiple
users operating the system. It is difficult to
have separate software for each one of them.
4. Content tools
If your system provides useful content creation
tools like video repositories or images, users
can create diversified content more easily.
5. Scalability
As you employ online digital signage techniques
in your establishment, it will grow and need more
screens and content.

6. Content tools
Interactive kiosks or touchscreens are gaining
more popularity. Therefore choose a display that
supports interactivity.
7. Scheduling options
This is a feature that can save you time. If you
can set a date and time for your content then it
can be automatically published without you
worrying about it.
8. Rendering content
A digital display system should be able to modify
the content based on the type of screen- digital
or vertical.

Ample features, hardware compatibility and user
experience are the three most important factors
that determine whether a digital display software
is good or not. Digital signage solutions are a
common sight in metropolitan cities like Dubai.

that make any business grow. So if you are
opening a new shop or expanding your current
customer base, digital signage systems can help
