Purchase their networked digital signage box to serve as the “brain” of your display, and create, host, update, schedule, and distribute content to all your displays from the CMS web interface. I haven’t yet used it, but I like the sound of it! <a href="http://www.icatsignage.com/tour/" target="_blank">http://www.icatsignage.com/tour/</a> <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have used two different programs, one free and one that is a bit pricey. The free one you can find at <a href="http://xibo.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://xibo.org.uk/</a>. The install process is a little lengthy - prepare to spend a morning on install and an afternoon setting everything up how you want it and learning to navigate through the web UI, but once it is set up, it's quite nice. One advantage with Xibo is that you can access the web UI from any computer on your local network; just type in the ip address of the computer with /xibo attached.<u></u><u></u></p>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">The paid solution that we are currently using is Digital Signage Assistant, which can be found at <a href="http://www.bayscan.com/digital-signage-assistant.html" target="_blank">http://www.bayscan.com/digital-signage-assistant.html</a>. The only downside with this software is that they are really picky about the licensing. You can only have one "server" computer on which the actual signage software runs, and one "client" computer that controls the server and updates content. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Either of these will do powerpoint presentations quite nicely, and should even allow for embedded video. You may need to tinker a bit to get all the effects and animations in powerpoint to work properly. I would personally recommend Xibo. The time it takes to set it up is well worth the robust web interface, and being able to access it via any LAN computer is handy. And of course, it's free!<u></u><u></u></p>
