Latin America. Carousel Digital Signage announced increased compatibility with Sony professional displays and Philips professional TVs running Android OS. The Carousel Cloud Player app is now available on the Google Play Store.
This integration allows organizations to leverage existing Android TV infrastructure for seamless digital signage deployment, eliminating the need for additional hardware. For businesses, schools or government agencies expanding their networks or deploying new systems where standalone monitors and media players were previously required, this support reduces costs by turning Sony and Philips displays into comprehensive Carousel media playback solutions.
Users can configure the displays as dedicated media players or Carousel Express players. A dedicated media player takes advantage of all the features of Carousel (dynamic content, video playback, and emergency messages) and uses a playback license. For organizations that prioritize simplicity and scalability, Carousel Express Player offers a lightweight alternative: it displays an optimized version of a Carousel channel without the need for a paid license.
Eric Henry, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Architecture at Carousel Digital Signage, said, "Our mission is to ensure that the right message reaches the right people, in the right place, at the right time. Expanding support for Sony professional displays and Philips professional TVs means we can connect with customers where they are: within their existing Android TV ecosystems."
By opening the door to the Android ecosystem, Carousel continues to expand its support for media players, which also includes Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Mac, BrightSign players, and smart TVs such as LG and Bluefin.
