In light of October being a rather scary month, we thought we would highlight 31 reasons not to be afraid of digital signage. We hope you enjoy them.

Reason #10: Variety of file types

digital signage contentOne of the first questions I get when I talk to digital signage newbies is, "What kind of content can I play?" And this is a good question, because it means they are focusing on the right things. 

My answer back is, "Well, what are you currently creating content in?" The beauty of MediaTile's MediaCast digital signage software is that we have no proprietary format types. 

You have a video that's MP4? Upload it. 

Have a simple JPG that you'd like to put on the screen? Upload it. 

Want to feed content through an RSS feed? Send it on in. 

Our platform plays videos, static imagery, Flash, Dynamic Flash, RSS and, yes, even the dreaded PowerPoint

And this is just the content that you've created outside the system or want to feed in. Later we'll talk about creating content INSIDE MediaCast. (Or you can check it out for yourself.)
