The second life of material in digital signage
May 3, 2023, 10:15:54 AM
You already have a digital signage solution and your contract is coming to an end?
You have several options:
- Continue with the same provider (with a possible upgrade of the installed equipment)
- Change the provider and probably the media player, or even the screens
In the case of a change of service provider, the cost is higher, particularly because of the change of media player. So why not re-use them and focus on the technological upgrade of the screens, or just the software?
At Winter Mushroom, we are committed to the second life of hardware, and we offer to reuse your old media players (provided they are powerful enough and compatible with our software). This is the case, for example, with the Intel version of Google's chromebox.
It is in fact possible to unlock a chromebox to install another system and thus benefit from a greater number of possible solutions in terms of digital display.
Unlocking chromeboxes is however complex, you need special hardware and use the excellent software suite from mrchromebox.tech.
If you have an IT department, they will probably be able to do the unlocking and leave you free with your digital signage solution.
If not, you should know that Winter Mushroom offers unlocking for a much better price than buying a media player.
Let's all make an effort for the planet !
