Onison Corporation, a global provider of brand management solutions for the sporting goods industry, has announced the release of its ‘genuinely free digital signage app that is login- and ad-free for single point use.’
The Onison Digital Signage app is a mobile tool designed for brand owners to display or broadcast their playlists. It will enable the control of branded messages on any Android device. Photos, graphics, text and videos can be fused into one show or played independently.
The Onison Digital Signage App is now available at Google Play and can be downloaded online. (Versions for iOS and Windows are to follow.)
Onison founder and CEO, HR Tschudi explained how the app could benefit the endurance sports industry…
“You can install the Onison Digital Signage App on any Android device, including large screens and Android based video walls,” Tschudi said. “This opens a world for digital advertisement and promotion for brand owners and race organisers, both indoors or outdoors. The app handles a mix of images, graphics, video streaming, sound streaming and text overlays.
“Brand owners can deploy devices to their POS where they can update product information or promotions across multiple locations provided that there is an Internet connection available that allows online updating. Race organizers can display rankings and race updates up-to-the minute without the investments that typically come along with such services. If needed, they can do so remotely though cellular networks and battery driven devices.”
‘No sign-up. Completely free’
Billed as a first of its kind mobile application, users are not obliged to sign up nor subscribe to a service in order to benefit from Onison’s digital signage app. After downloading the app, users can create playlists with images and videos from the device and play them instantly as a digital signage.
In-app editing
By adding images and videos to folders within a device, the Onison digital signage app allows users to create playlists. A customized digital signage can be utilized immediately without a complex setup. This is typically suitable for sporting goods outlets who would like to showcase their portfolio or run promotional shows, etc.
Auto restart
The mobile app is equipped with an auto-start function. When the device reboots, the app will restart automatically. Screen lock during the show is automatically disabled and re-enabled upon exiting the app.
Multiple playlists
The app allows users to create multiple playlists and play them all at once.
Expand to multiple devices
Multiple devices, even across many sport outlets, can be controlled through Onison’s digital signage offering as a subscription. Every device can be upgraded to pull information from Onison’s service or have it pushed to the device. No special hardware is needed other than an android-enabled device with an Internet connection. Onison digital signage can be branded for franchises and large sporting goods brands.
