What Designage is
Designage is a cloud platform for creating, scheduling and managing digital signage across screens and locations. Its browser editor can crop images, adjust colours and add text or other content to images and videos. Layouts divide screens into regions with separate playlists when hardware allows. Playlists support drag-and-drop ordering, day parts, start and end times and recurring rules. WatchTower displays device status, playback, hardware details and screen locations on a map. Administrators can schedule power and reboots, adjust brightness and volume, set time zones, use kiosk mode, change orientation and synchronize playback on supported devices. Content types include images, videos, browser content, HTML widgets, streaming video and hardware video input. Designage runs on Android, Linux, web and Windows. Core costs €9 a month billed monthly; Pro costs €19 a month and is partner-only.
