Digital Signage Player Software FAQ
Q1: What’s the difference between digital signage player software and hardware?
A: The software (app) is what you install and run; the hardware (player) is the physical device. NoviSign’s player software works on devices you may already own – Android boxes, Windows PCs, or Chrome devices. You don’t need proprietary hardware to get started.
Q2: Can I run digital signage player software on my existing computer?
A: Yes. NoviSign’s player app runs on any Windows 10/11 PC, Android device (5.0+), or Chrome OS device that meets minimum specs (2-4GB RAM). Many businesses repurpose old computers or use low-cost mini PCs.
Q3: Does the digital signage player app work offline?
A: Yes. The player software caches all content locally. If your internet connection drops, playback continues uninterrupted. When connectivity returns, the app automatically syncs any new content.
Q4: Is the digital signage player software free to download?
A: Yes, the NoviSign player app is free to download. You can test the full platform with a free 30-day trial – no credit card required. After the trial, choose a subscription plan based on the number of screens you manage.
Q5: How do I update the digital signage player software?
A: Updates are automatic. When a new version is available, the app downloads and installs it in the background – no manual intervention required. On Chrome OS, updates are handled by the operating system itself.
