An Open Source

Digital Signage platform

build a platform thats design around your needs, not ours

Open source StudioLite / Angular
Open source SignagePlayer
Open source mediaSERVER+

DigitalSignage.com, the first open digital signage software platform that transforms any display into a two-way communication screen, allowing any developer or business to create and integrate fully customizable apps to run on their own network of public displays without cost or commitment. We provides sample apps such as Digg, Social and Web Apps that anyone can fork on Github and modify to accommodate for their own business logic and needs. Our API includes Player resource access, offline caching framework and can be developed using any JavaScript library you like including jQuery, Backbone and Angular.

What sets DigitalSignage.com apart, and what none of our competitors offer, is that we intentionally built an open platform. Other digital signage options try to build functionality for every use case. We provide the tools to customize and build for individual business needs. By operating as an open platform, DigitalSignage.com can focus less on app development and more on creating an awesome platform for others to build on.

We provide an open SDK so that developers only have to think about the app's functionality — not about delivering and updating it for multiple devices. Best of all, a developer can host their own App anywhere online and allow access to the Signage App both while developing as well as when releasing their final product, simply by pointing a link to a web hosted json configuration file.

Independent developers can create apps with the potential to gain exposure on public displays through thousands of screens across the world. You can even integrate existing apps into real-time customer engagement tools and promote services, without the hassle of handling all the complexities related to the set-up and configuration process.

Also, with our 100% open source StudioLite, developers can create a fully customizable Signage Studio simply by modifying our code base. StudioLite is based on our software development kit called Pepper.js and all projects are hosted on Github.

Our open source Digital Signage platform is truly a game changer, it’s all free, easy to use and delivers on the type of business logic your organization requires.

StudioLite

StudioLite is an HTML5 / JavaScript project available under the GPL V3 open license. It is 100% open source and can be forked directly on GitHub. Developers are welcome to create a fully customized StudioLite and are encouraged to share their code base to promote community development around the product.

StudioLite Lite is powered by Google's Angular framework and infused with our own RedPepper and YellowPepper SDKs. Angular is an opinionated framework which allows our enterprise members to easily customize the entire application to accommodate their own business needs, brand it and resell it. Also Powered by our SDK, we provide low level API that handles authentication, mediaSERVER communication and application store driven using the ngrx and rxjs development technologies. While the Pepper SDK is an integral part of StudioLite, it can also be used as a standalone library and loaded into any other custom digital signage applications.

Remote values

With DigitalSignage.com and RemoteValues, you can easily integrate customer line queuing manager, a custom play score board, telemarketing progress board, or any other type of Digital Signage screen with custom labels. The real power comes from your own scripting logic. In other words, you can develop your business logic that's right for your company and feed the values into any label on the public digital signage screen. In this example we provide a working server to act as customer line counter; but this is just one example of many that could be incorporated.

SignagePlayer

SignagePlayer is an AS3 based Digital Signage Player that is the work horse behind the MediaSignage platform. It delivers first class Digital Signage presentations across operating systems including Windows, Android, iOS, Linux, Mac OSX and the Web.
The SignagePlayer full source code is available on GitHub on the git hub repository.
The SignagePlayer full source code is available on GitHub on the git hub repository.

The SignagePlayer license conforms to GPL V3 modified, therefore entitles the forking of the entire project and developing a custom SignagePlayer including, but not limited to, branding and compiling to specific native platforms (i.e.: Android, iOS etc). The SignagePlayer modified GPL V3 license restricts the usage of the open source code, as it only allows the code base to be deployed in a project that its purpose is to connect the final compiled SignagePlayer to the public mediaCLOUD, private mediaSERVER or a mediaHYBRID. Thus, ensuring that the intention of the developed source code, is to produce a product that will ultimately connect into any of the MediaSignage server environments.
