Player platform
Signage platforms with a Windows player, for estates already managed under Windows tooling.
13 entries
Windows players are chosen where the screens sit inside an estate that is already managed under Windows tooling. Group policy, existing antivirus and the domain all keep working, and the desktop team can support a signage PC the same way they support any other machine.
The cost is the machine itself and the licence, which is significantly more per screen than an Android box, plus the update behaviour. A signage PC that reboots into a pending update at midday is a familiar sight in retail, and preventing it takes deliberate configuration rather than good luck.
Windows also remains the platform of choice for anything driving a video wall or multiple outputs from one machine.
