Screen + Media Player
If your screen is unable to download ScreenCloud’s software directly onto it, you will require an additional media player. This is great if you’re looking for more advanced operating systems, like remote device management and easy deployment.
Budget-friendly options available (like ScreenCloud OS)- Ability to replace the media player if required
- Work with your preferred operating system

All-In-One Device
These “smart screens” can download the ScreenCloud Player app directly, without requiring a separate media player; we don’t recommend these devices for more advanced digital signage needs as most come with consumer-focussed operating systems that don’t support the full range of features for managing a large network of digital signage screens.
- Set up ScreenCloud straight on your device
- No additional devices or cables
- High-quality processor options
View OptionsScreen + Media Player
A screen that does not have the capability to download ScreenCloud's software directly onto it will require a separate media player. Choosing a screen with a separate media player to power your digital signage has some key advantages: media players tend to have more advanced operating systems that support features in key areas like deployment, remote device management and security – vital when managing your network of digital signage screens.
