Media Accountability

This is just a short note about something very important. If you get it right, it's completely hidden. Get it wrong and it will make your whole digital signage project fail. It's media management.

On the face of it, organising media is about as interesting as tidying up your bedroom.

But, done well, it opens up new possibilities in digital signage, and it safeguards your projects from bad media, lost media and all sort of confusion that can completely scupper a digital signage installation.

If you want to see it done properly, look at digital signage products that are derived from broadcast products. And be a little bit wary of products that are thrown together using media players and file systems that come free with operating systems.

Sorry if this all sounds a bit abstract. I'll write about this in more detail later. It's important stuff.
