About this directory

DigiSignboard catalogues the software, hardware and services used to run screens in shops, restaurants, offices and public buildings. It exists because the category is unusually hard to shop for: vendors describe the same capability in different words, a lot of them will not publish a price, and the review sites that rank them are mostly paid placement.

The approach here is narrow and slow. Every product is recorded against the same fields so two entries can be read side by side, and every fact carries the page it came from and the date it was read. Where something has not been checked yet, the entry says so.

What is here now

Signage software, the media players that drive the screens, and the commercial displays and LED walls. All of them are joined by one vocabulary: a player or a panel declares the platform it is, software declares the platforms it drives, so an entry page shows what runs on the thing in front of you and a platform page shows them together. Alongside them is the programmatic market that sells the screen time — supply-side platforms for the media owner, demand-side platforms for the buyer — which does not join to the rest, because nothing there runs on a player. And alongside all of it, the tooling that fills the gaps a signage platform leaves: content feeds, audience measurement, device management.
