What is SignDirector?

Can I use vertically oriented displays?
Yes. This can either be done on the device itself by adjusting the orientation through the menu or you can do so via our web CMS by going to the display profile settings and changing the orientation there.
Where is my uploaded content saved?
The majority of our servers and data are hosted from Sydney, Australia. With the exception of your current playlists assets which are also downloaded/cached to the devices they are scheduled to.

Can I turn my regular TV/Display into digital signage?

Yes. We offer our SignDirector Players as a way to bridge the gap to our software. Simply plug our players into any HDMI compatible display to start using SignDirector.

(Can also be used with a VGA or DVI-D compatible display if used with a HDMI to VGA/DVI-D adapter. We do not offer this adapter)

Can I run SignDirector directly on my TV/Display?

Yes. You can use SignDirector directly on Android TV’s and signage displays. Otherwise, you’ll need to purchase our supported device.

Does SignDirector work offline?

SignDirector can continue to run offline as assets will be cached on your device only requiring an internet connection the first time they’re played. After that, they’ll play directly from the device itself. Further connection will only be required to download any updates you make to scheduling or layouts.

If you’re using a widget that requires data for like a news RSS feed then internet connection will be required to grab updates.
