Digital signage is a powerful communication tool that delivers targeted messages and advertisements to specific locations at the right time. Whether used for informational displays or dynamic advertising, digital signage enhances engagement and visibility across a wide range of industries.

At SWVD, we specialize in the installation, integration, and repair of digital signage systems, ensuring seamless operation and high-quality performance.

Key Components of a Digital Signage System

1) Displays

Digital signage can be displayed on a variety of screens, including:
✔ LCD or Plasma Screens
✔ LED Boards
✔ Projection Screens
✔ Emerging display technologies

2) Content

In digital signage, “content” refers to the visual media displayed on screens. This can include:
✔ Static graphics (e.g., menus, schedules, announcements)
✔ Dynamic content (e.g., video ads, live feeds, real-time updates)

Various hardware and software solutions allow for flexible scheduling and playback of content, making it easy to update messaging as needed.

3) Computer Hardware & Network

A management server is typically required to control digital displays. This setup can vary based on business needs:
✔ A centralized master server that distributes content to multiple displays
✔ A dedicated player server behind each display, receiving content from the master server
✔ An all-in-one content server mounted behind the screen, updated via USB for standalone operation

4) Network Infrastructure

Unless the player server is directly attached to the display, digital signage typically requires network connectivity. This can be achieved through:
✔ Wired network connections (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6 cabling)
✔ Wireless adapters for remote access
✔ HDMI extenders via Cat5e cables to deliver high-quality video over long distances

At SWVD, we provide professional network cabling installation and repairs to ensure your digital signage system operates reliably. Whether you need a new setup or troubleshooting for an existing system, we ensure your displays remain fully functional and optimized for performance.
