One of digital signage's great strengths is its ability to display
content in multiple forms, including high-definition video (or
standard def), Flash, dynamic Flash, and even static images (like
jpgs, gifs & pngs). You can then use the content and the
platform to reach employees, customers or whoever your target
audience is with engaging messages.


But
inevitably the question arises: Can it play PowerPoint?
And so here's the problem. PowerPoint was never designed to be used

I've been on my soapbox a lot about the lack of attention digital
signage gets when its used internally at companies for
employee
communications. Sure it may not be as sexy as the

Many companies are using basic LCD televisions and monitors as a
form of digital signage for employee communications. Some are
networked to a content server, while others are simply wired
straight to a PC in a back closet somewhere. No matter the

current.
But if your company already has LCDs and you're tired of the
hands-on labor to keep them up to date, all is not lost. MediaTile
is here for you.

Component
Player you gain (nearly) all of the advantages of our Digital
