Supported hardware

choosing the right hardware is an important part of setting up reliable digital signage fusion signage supports a wide range of commercial displays, system on chip (soc) screens and professional media players the best option for you will depend on where your screens are being installed, how long they'll be running and the type of content you want to display our supported hardware fusion signage currently supports hardware from amazon signage stick benq android commercial displays and interactive boards brightsign professional media players lg webos signage commercial displays and media players philips android commercial displays samsung tizen commercial displays sharp android commercial displays sony android commercial displays mitsumaru commercial displays viewsonic maxhub commbox dahua for the complete list of tested models, operating system requirements and minimum firmware versions, see our our compatible devices article choosing between the different options there's no single piece of hardware we'd recommend for every installation instead, think about what the screen needs to do and the environment it will be running in for standard indoor signage for general indoor digital signage, commercial displays from benq, lg, philips, samsung, sharp, sony and mitsumaru offer a range of options many of these displays include a built in operating system, allowing fusion signage to run directly on the screen without needing an external media player different models are designed for different operating hours, so make sure the screen you choose is suitable for how long you intend to run it each day for 24/7 operation if your signage needs to run around the clock, choose a commercial display specifically rated for 24/7 operation there are supported 24/7 options across several of our compatible hardware ranges, including models from benq, philips, samsung and mitsumaru for high brightness or window facing signage screens installed near windows or in brightly lit environments may require a higher brightness display to keep content visible fusion signage supports high and ultra high brightness options from manufacturers including lg, philips, samsung, benq and mitsumaru for outdoor signage outdoor installations require hardware specifically designed to handle outdoor conditions supported options include commercial outdoor displays from lg, samsung and mitsumaru , with models available for different brightness and weather protection requirements for touchscreens and interactive displays if your setup requires touch functionality, there are supported options available from benq, lg, philips and mitsumaru keep in mind that the screen supporting touch doesn't necessarily mean every type of fusion signage content will be interactive, so we'd recommend discussing your intended use with your reseller before purchasing for unusual screen sizes and installations fusion signage can also be used with more specialised commercial displays, including videowalls stretched displays kiosks a frame displays dual sided and hanging displays large format displays hospitality displays compatibility will depend on the specific manufacturer and model, so always check our compatible devices list before purchasing using an external media player you don't necessarily need to replace an existing display to use fusion signage a professional media player can be connected to a compatible screen and used to run fusion signage externally brightsign players are officially supported, including compatible models from the series 3, series 4 and series 5 ranges while series 3 devices remain compatible, we don't recommend them for new installations lg's wp600 webos digital media player and the amazon signage stick are also supported options an external media player can be particularly useful if your existing screen doesn't have a compatible operating system or if you'd prefer to keep the signage hardware separate from the display other android hardware fusion signage may also work with android players that aren't specifically listed in our compatible devices article for an android player to be suitable, we recommend checking that it has a hardware based h 264/avc decoder root access where possible, allowing fusion signage to update automatically an up to date version of webview, ideally chrome or chromium 100+ at least 4gb of ram if you're considering an android device that isn't on our tested hardware list, we recommend testing it thoroughly before using it across a larger rollout before purchasing hardware always check our compatible devices before purchasing or deploying new hardware our compatibility list includes the specific models we've tested, along with supported operating system and minimum firmware requirements if you're planning a new installation and aren't sure which option is right for you, speak with your reseller or integrator they can help recommend hardware based on your environment, screen requirements and budget looking for something else? we can’t wait to hear about it reach out to our sunshiney support and we'll be in touch in a flash
