Roll Your Own Digital Signage 2.0

A while back, I wrote a series of posts detailing how I created a digital signage solution of Henderson Hills Baptist Church using modified AppleTV.

While the hacked AppleTV worked well enough, it was not quite as robust as I wanted, could not play video well, and would not auto-scale for different display sizes. So I’ve been working on a new solution.

Now I have something ready to show. We’re using this solution at our Edmond Campus and it’s been received well. The video below shows it working:

Here’s a graphic that shows how everything works.

How my digital signage works

I can’t give the Flash source file away due to licensing restrictions but I can distribute the compiled Flash Projector (what you’ll run on the computer connected to the display). If you’re interested in having something like this set up at your church, email me at eric@ericgranata.com and we’ll get things rolling!
