Digital signage has revolutionized the way businesses interact with their customers. From retail stores to restaurants, digital displays have become essential to modern marketing strategies. However, choosing the right displays is sometimes a daunting task. There are so many choices that it might seem impossible to decide on one type of display for your digital signage project. Luckily, we got you covered. In this blog, we will discuss which displays are compatible with MagicINFO.
Read on to learn about:
Firstly, it's important to note that only Samsung digital signage displays are compatible with MagicINFO. This means that if you have displays from other brands, you won't be able to use this software to manage them. Samsung digital signage displays come in a variety of sizes and configurations, from small standalone displays to large video walls and LED walls. These displays come with built-in media players that support the MagicINFO software, making them an ideal choice for businesses looking to invest in digital signage. Check out these blogs for more detailed information about how digital signage displays work and which displays can work with MagicINFO.
To connect your Samsung digital signage displays to MagicINFO, you need to have an active MagicINFO cloud subscription or have a local installation with an activated MagicINFO license, the MagicINFO software downloaded, and the player, which is built into the Samsung signage displays.

Sometimes, you might think it is not enough to choose normal signage displays. Other great options to showcase your content are the Samsung LED walls and the video walls.
Videowalls are composed of several high-resolution displays that are combined to create a larger, more immersive screen. They come in a variety of sizes and configurations, allowing businesses to choose the option that best fits their space and needs. There are two ways to configure your videowall, here you can find more information on this topic.
When choosing a videowall, keep in mind that this is a suitable choice when you want the content to be seen from a straight angle and up close.
LED walls are made of multiple LED panels, which can be customized by technicians to create a larger wall. You can create your own resolution by adding the LED panels the way you want them to. Contrary to video walls, LED walls are a nice option when the location of the displays is a little further and when the content you'd like to show should be seen from a variety of angles. Also, LED walls have higher brightness and are better suited for outdoor applications.
Ultimately, when choosing between a videowall and an LED wall, it all comes down to the costs. Video walls are generally less expensive to install than LED walls. However, they have a longer shelf life of 5-10 years than video walls, whose shelf life is usually 3-5 years.

Finally, another type of display that is compatible with MagicINFO is the digital signage kiosk display from Samsung. These displays are designed with intuitive interfaces that allow users to manage the kiosk application. Samsung kiosk comes in 1 standard size of 24 inches.
One advantage of using digital signage kiosks is that they can be equipped with touchscreens or other interactive features, allowing customers to engage with the content and products in real time. This can be particularly effective for businesses looking to provide self-service options, such as in-store ordering or product information displays.
When it comes to creating content for digital signage kiosks, keep in mind that a Kiosk app has to be created. In addition to this, a Remote Management license or cloud subscription is needed to connect a Kiosk display, which allows only hardware control.
Regardless of the license type purchased, the MagicINFO solution comes with advanced scheduling capabilities that allow businesses to schedule content to display at specific times of the day or week. This can be useful for businesses that have different promotions or messages that they want to display at different times. Here is a blog in which we discuss more how setting the date and time on your displays can help you save time, money, and energy.
Another advantage of using MagicINFO with Samsung digital signage displays is that it provides businesses with real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities. This means that businesses can keep track of how their displays are performing and make informed decisions about their digital signage strategy. This is possible because of the Samsung Remote Management solution (Samsung RM), a central remote service solution allowing remote monitoring of Samsung devices. Samsung RM is a separate licensing package and can work next to any SSSP application or other digital signage CMS. Remote Management is compatible with a full range of Samsung devices with a MagicINFO S4 player and higher. However, if you purchase a MagicINFO Premium license or Premium Cloud, Remote Management is included.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a powerful digital signage solution, MagicINFO is an excellent choice. However, it's essential to note that only Samsung digital signage displays are compatible with this software. To connect your displays and use MagicINFO, you need to have an active MagicINFO cloud subscription or have a local installation with an activated MagicINFO license, the MagicINFO software downloaded, and the player, which is built into the Samsung signage displays. With MagicINFO, businesses can create engaging digital content, manage their displays effectively, and make informed decisions about their digital signage strategy.
