Apple @ Work: Here’s how Apple TV has quietly become a robust digital signage solution

General News

Summary

For small businesses, digital signage has often been out of reach because of the high initial cost and complexity of deployment (server infrastructure, complicated software, expensive maintenance, etc.). Thanks to the Apple TV, its management APIs, and some cloud-based software, even the smallest retail stores can now have a digital signage solution. This feature is crucial because it allows you to lock an Apple TV to a single application (such as a digital signage app) so it can’t be used for Netflix or Disney+ streaming. If you want an even lower-cost way to roll out Kitcast, they also offer an Amazon Fire Stick app that works well, but you’ll lose some of the deployment simplicity that the Apple TV brings. Carousel has been a player in the digital signage game for years, but the new cloud product is what I am really interested in looking at instead of their previous server-based solution.
