Advantages of DECK Digital Sigange system in comparision to other systems

Usually people use a static LCD or LED TV with a Pen drive to display content across the locations. This content can be a power point presentation, video, text, images etc. The problem with this sort of system is that it is not dynamic. If the administrator needs to send certain information dynamically to a display location, it is not possible. Someone needs to manually visit the location and change the contents of the pen drive.

That's where DECK - Digital Sigange System comes in handy. It is a system which is hosted in a centralised server. Every display location is connected through wifi or LAN. So if you need to make any change in the content being displayed, it can be done from a central location.
