Digital signage software features for every screen

A complete digital signage toolkit — build content, schedule it precisely, publish it instantly and monitor every display from one dashboard.

Features

A complete digital signage CMS

A complete digital signage CMS — content, scheduling, players and analytics in one multi-tenant platform.

AI content assistant

Describe a screen in plain English, or upload a design to rebuild. Get an editable layout in seconds, then refine it by chatting. See how it works.

Content & media CMS

Upload images, videos, HTML5 widgets and live data feeds. Organize creatives and build reusable playlists.

Smart scheduling

Define what plays on each screen, when, and to which audience. Time-of-day, day-part and recurring schedules.

Screen management

Group screens, monitor health and heartbeats, and push updates to any display in under a second.

Analytics & reporting

Track impressions, screen uptime and viewer analytics with high-volume time-series reporting.

Multi-screen layouts

Split any display into zones — video, ticker, widgets and live feeds running side by side on one canvas.

Real-time sync

WebSocket and MQTT delivery means edits appear on every player instantly, with delivery ACK tracking.

Multi-tenant & roles

Fully isolated tenants with a hierarchical role system and module-level permissions — built for white-label.

Live data & automation

Pull prices, weather, flights and feeds automatically. Content updates itself without manual edits.

Omni-channel alerts

Email, SMS, push and WhatsApp notifications plus emergency screen override for priority content.

How each feature works in practice

Content library and playlists

Upload images, video and HTML5 widgets once and reuse them anywhere. Build playlists by dragging items into order, set how long each one shows, and use the same playlist on one screen or a hundred. Replace a file in the library and every playlist that uses it updates.

Drag-and-drop editor and AI layouts

Design screens in the browser: text, images, video, tickers, clocks and live data widgets, positioned on a canvas the exact shape of your display. Short on time? Describe the screen to the AI assistant or upload a screenshot of an existing poster, and it produces a layout you can keep editing. It proposes the components first and adds nothing until you approve.

Scheduling down to the minute

Every screen or group follows a schedule built from time of day, weekday, date range and recurring rules. Typical uses: a breakfast menu until 11:00, a weekend-only promotion, a campaign that starts on the first of the month and removes itself on the last. See it in action on digital menu boards.

Multi-zone layouts

Split a display into zones, each running its own content: a main video, a side column of offers, a news ticker along the bottom and a clock in the corner. Zones can also span several screens to build a menu wall or a simple video wall.

Real-time publishing with delivery confirmation

Content reaches players over WebSocket and MQTT, typically in under a second. Each player acknowledges what it received and reports what it actually played, which gives you a proof-of-play record for advertisers, suppliers or internal compliance.

Offline playback

Players cache their schedule and media locally. If the network drops, the screen keeps playing the last content it received rather than going blank, and it catches up automatically when it reconnects.

Screen management and monitoring

Pair a screen by entering the six-digit code it displays. From then on the dashboard shows whether it is online, when it last checked in and what it is playing right now. Group screens by site, region or purpose and publish to a group in one step.

Live data and automation

Widgets pull prices, weather, flight times, RSS news and POS feeds, so content stays current without anyone editing it. Rules can switch content automatically — for example, a weather-triggered promotion or a sold-out item disappearing from a menu.

Alerts and emergency override

Send a priority message that takes over every screen, or just one site, the moment it matters. Notifications about screen health and account events go out by email, SMS, push or WhatsApp.

Teams, roles and multi-tenant control

Invite colleagues with role-based permissions: head office owns brand templates and network-wide campaigns, while local managers update only their own screens. Agencies and resellers can run fully separate tenants, white-labelled on Enterprise, with SSO, audit logs and IP allowlisting.

Analytics

Track impressions, screen uptime and content performance over time, so you can see which screens are earning their place and which content is actually playing.

Runs on hardware you already own

The player runs on Android TV boxes and sticks, Amazon Fire TV, Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, smart TVs with a browser, and Windows or Mac computers. See the setup steps and hardware list.

FAQ

Questions about features

What features should digital signage software have?

At minimum: a browser-based content library, playlists, scheduling by time and date, remote screen monitoring and offline playback. For more than a handful of screens you also want screen groups, multi-zone layouts, role-based permissions and proof-of-play reporting. DigiSignWall includes all of these.

Do I need design skills to create content?

No. The drag-and-drop editor handles layout, and the AI assistant can build an editable screen from a one-sentence description or a screenshot of an existing poster.

Can different screens show different content?

Yes. Every screen or screen group gets its own schedule, so a window display, a menu board and a staff-room screen can all run different playlists from the same account.

What happens if a screen loses its internet connection?

The player keeps playing the content it has cached, so the screen never goes blank. It syncs any changes as soon as the connection returns, and the dashboard shows it as offline in the meantime.

Which features are on the free plan?

The free plan covers one screen with the core CMS, scheduling and drag-and-drop editor. Multi-zone layouts, analytics, live data widgets and day-part scheduling come with Pro. Compare plans.
