Hardware

Setting up an info screen requires several hardware components. The exact requirements may vary depending on the location and what needs to be displayed on the screens. Here is a list of typical hardware required.

Screens

Hardware

Operating System

Kiosk Mode

Player App

Overall Recommendation

We recommend the following setup.

  • Samsung TV screen intended for Digital Signage
  • Mini PC based on Intel NUC
  • Windows 10/11 Pro
  • Intune
  • Replay Kiosk App

 

Other alternatives may work to run Replay, but this is the setup we recommend and support. For example, using a TV screen intended for consumers will in many cases be sufficient and the cost is significantly less than a Digital Signage Screen.

Deviations may mean that we cannot provide full support of all aspects, but we will always provide a best-effort support of any setup.

Many other variations may also provide good operational stability and satisfactory performance for your situation. 

Screens

IntraActive Replay is designed to be used with TV screens and most modern TVs can be used with IntraActive Replay.

If you require extra brightness, durability, reliability, you can choose to invest in a screen that is designed for Digital Signage.

Alternative screens

IntraActive Replay can display infoscreens on most modern TVs and support the following scenarios: 

  • Use your existing modern TV screens, which you are in possession of
  • Invest in modern TV screens intended for consumers 

Hardware

IntraActive Replay supports display of image galleries, news ticker and video playback, all at the same time. If you want to make full use of the features in IntraActive Replay, you need hardware that is capable.

Mini PC recommendation

  • Intel NUC Core i5-10210U
  • Samsung SSD 860 Evo 250 GB
  • Kingston ValueRAM DDR4 16 GB 3200 MHz

This Mini PC will satisfactorily run multiple videos, news ticker and image gallery. 

Operating System

The choice of operating system on the Mini PC is important, because to be used for digital signage, it should be possible to set up the IntraActive Replay app in Kiosk Mode. Kiosk mode allows the IntraActive Replay screen to appear when the device starts up without any human interaction.

Recommendation

We recommend Windows 10/11 Pro which supports Kiosk Mode.

Kiosk Mode

For Windows 10/11 Pro

Recommendation: Intune

Enroll your Windows 10/11 Pro based Mini PC in Intune in your organization and set it up for Kiosk Mode according to the instructions from Microsoft. We can consult on this.

Player Kiosk App

The app that is actually running the content from IntraActive Replay has to be based on Chromium.

Recommendation: Replay

IntraActive Replay provides a Windows based app called IntraActive Replay Kiosk that is specifically developed for IntraActive Replay and includes some extra features for monitoring and stability.
