Where OptiSigns may suit you better
No product is right for everyone. OptiSigns is likely the better choice if:
- You want up to three screens free and don’t mind their logo or using their players.
- Your screens are Windows or Mac computers, Roku, Apple TV, BrightSign players, or LG or Samsung TVs’ own apps.
- You need touch-screen kiosks, single sign-on, or an approval step before anything goes on screen.
- You want a player box from the same company as the software.
Moving to Dislab
- Sign up and upload your photos and videos. Dislab converts every one for TV playback.
- Plug a Fire TV stick into the TV, open Dislab, and type the code it shows into your console.
- Keep OptiSigns running on your other screens until you’re happy, then move them one by one.
