Integration guide
Integrating display hardware with your existing CMS
CMS-agnostic hardware gives you freedom to keep your software platform. A successful integration still needs a defined player, network, content workflow and ownership of monitoring and updates.
CMS-agnostic hardware gives you freedom to keep your software platform. A successful integration still needs a defined player, network, content workflow and ownership of monitoring and updates.
Start with the software and version
Provide the CMS or passenger information platform, its version, content types and required features. Tell us whether you need video playback, a web page, real-time data, interactive content or separate content on two faces. Compatibility should be checked for the precise configuration, not assumed from the operating-system name alone.
Choose the player arrangement
Decide whether the project uses an integrated media player, your existing external player or a monitor-only display. Confirm the operating system and version, processor, memory, storage and video outputs required by the software. The platform must support the intended resolution and number of independently controlled outputs.
Define network and site responsibilities
Confirm Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity, site access and the party responsible for network configuration. Identify any approval needed from the customer’s IT team before evaluation. Agree who maintains the CMS, player software, device configuration and project content.
Separate content management from display diagnostics
A CMS may report playback or player status, while display diagnostics may report brightness, temperature or connected components. Define the data, alert destination and actions required. Confirm which functions are available on the selected AD Series configuration and how they connect to your support workflow.
Evaluate the full configuration before deployment
Use a sample to check the content workflow, network connection, startup behaviour, remote updates and any independent-face control. Agree acceptance criteria and responsibilities before production. For simple requirements, AD Series can also discuss network-based video management or a customer-maintained web-page display approach.
