Resources

Everything you need to get digital signage right

Practical guides and a glossary for every stage of your digital signage project — from first question to live screens.

viewneo is a cloud-based digital signage platform used by organisations in retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, and internal communications. This resources section is for anyone approaching digital signage for the first time — or looking to get more out of an existing deployment.

What you will find here

The guides cover the full planning and deployment journey. Start with the overview of what digital signage is if you are still evaluating the technology. Move to how to set up digital signage when you are ready to scope hardware, network requirements, and content workflows. The content ideas guide covers what to actually put on screen — formats, schedules, and sector-specific recommendations. The glossary gives you definitions for every term you will encounter, from media player and CMS to SMIL and HDMI-CEC.

Who these resources are written for

The primary audience is the person making the buying or implementation decision: a marketing manager choosing screens for a retail chain, an IT administrator specifying network requirements, a facilities manager coordinating a multi-site rollout, or an operations lead trying to standardise in-store communications. The guides assume no prior signage knowledge and avoid vendor-specific terminology where generic terms serve better.

From resources to live screens

The guides give you the foundation. When you are ready to move from research to deployment, the how it works page shows viewneo’s architecture, the products overview covers the full platform, and the industry pages show how organisations in your sector run viewneo today. Questions about a specific setup — a video wall, an interactive kiosk, a sensor-driven display — are best answered on the solutions pages.

Guides & reference

Four resources covering the full journey: what digital signage is, how to deploy it, what content to run, and the terminology you will encounter along the way.

Frequently asked questions

Who are these resources for?
The guides are written for marketing managers, IT administrators, facilities managers, and operations leads who are evaluating or deploying digital signage for the first time. They assume no prior signage experience.
Do I need a viewneo account to use these resources?
No. All guides and the glossary are free to read without an account. When you are ready to move from planning to implementation, you can book a demo or explore the platform.
