Using a Tablet with BrightSign
A tablet with an independent opperating system can be an important advantage, leaving the audio-video presentation to be handled by the BrightSign media player, while additional functions are "outsourced" to an Android tablet. Our team can develop the right simple, fun and effective graphical user interface for your project. Choose from a variety of screen sizes, and add other modules such as audio switching, amplification, and lighting effects to make a dynamic retail presentation.
Tablets are available in several sizes, enclosed or open-frame, as pictured above.
Options
- Sizes: We offer these standard sizes: 32, 21, 15, and 10 inches, measured diagonally. (Specifications)
- Custom Content and Graphics: We can create images and designs that compliment your brand – all you need to supply is your logos and product images.
- Touch Screen vs. Smart Tablet: Most applications only require a simple LCD touch screen to display the images served by the BrightSign player and accept the user's touch commands. Some projects may require a touch screen with an Android operating system that functions independently of the BrightSign player. These commercial tablets usually connect to the BrightSign player via USB.
- Connectivity: LCD touch screens connect via HDMI, and also require a USB cable for the touch functionality.
FAQ: Tablet Control
How reliable are tablets in a retail environment?
We have tested the sturdy industrial screens we offer for durability in public use. Our software development process includes hardening for retail, so that customers cannot exit the application or tamper with the device.
Does Audio Authority produce all the graphics?
You can give us your photos and video, we can create all the custom art, or we'll work together to achieve the right look.
Does Audio Authority produce or license music or video?
No, but we can incorporate your original media, or the copyrighted material that you provide, as long as it is licenced for use in a retail environment.
Is it expensive?
High quality commercial Android tablets are more affordable than ever, so if it is the right solution for your project, it may be the most cost-effective solution as well.
