signageOS to Introduce signageOS Open
signageOS Open provides CMS companies with the ability to integrate any smart display or media player type at no cost.
San Francisco, CA – signageOS Inc. introduces signageOS Open, an integral part of the signageOS technology that consists of a single JavaScript API that allows for communication, control and playback of content on any digital signage SoC display or media player. This is achieved through the use of signageOS’ native core applications crafted and maintained for each device which are a part of the signageOS Open offering. This technology package allows for instant SoC adoption and deployment of hardware agnostic networks.
signageOS Open will be offered for free and separately from the signageOS Platform. CMS companies can now utilize this single API as the base for device integrations and build on top of this using their unique CMS features. signageOS offers this foundation to CMS companies for free in order to remove hardware and software compatibility issues that plague the digital signage industry.
“After years of development, testing, and maintenance for each platform, signageOS has mastered the standardization of digital signage smart display and media player integrations. This extensive knowledge base and technology is the foundation of signageOS Open.” says Michael Zabka, CTO, signageOS.
“So far the only gateway to signageOS technology was through the signageOS Cloud Platform and the REST API for device management, which we felt like was limiting the outreach and potential positive impact signageOS can have on the industry. With signageOS Open and the newly introduced JS API for device management, anyone can now use a part of the signageOS technology for free to start building great digital signage projects with SoC displays or players quickly and at a fraction of the cost compared to doing everything from scratch on their own.” says Stan Richter, CEO, signageOS.

“Offering signageOS Open to anyone at no cost is an expression of our confidence in this technology. This is unlike anything on the market. Every level within the digital signage industry including end-users, display manufacturers, and CMS companies will greatly benefit from this service as the SoC displays and external media players will become so much easier to work with and deploy. On top of that, it will remove the continuing concern of being married to a single solution for good” adds Stan Richter.
