The Power of Engagement: Cisco Digital Signage is a complete, platform for interactive media experiences. Now you can easily deliver and manage applications to communicate, connect, and engage. Imagine delivering compelling and interactive media to any store, bank, manufacturing floor, or hospital, to engage customers and employees in a whole new way.
The scalable, network-based Cisco Digital Signage platform includes endpoints, management, and services. On top of this, Cisco’s diverse partner ecosystem tailors your deployment to your needs. This gives you new opportunities to create a consistent user experience across multiple channels, increase revenue and maximize operational efficiency.
Cisco Digital Media Player 4310
The Cisco Digital Media Player 4310 (Figure 1) is a highly reliable IP-based digital media player that handles display and playback of compelling interactive multimedia - including high-definition live broadcasts or on-demand video, Flash animations, HTML5 content, graphics, and text tickers - across a network of digital signs.
The Cisco Digital Media Player 4310 supports single-touch interactivity by interfacing with popular touch screens. It can be powered through the network following the 802.3af PoE specifications and is fully manageable as a standalone device using a rich API. As part of the integrated Cisco Digital Signs and Cisco Cast applications, it is a powerful, customizable digital media publishing endpoint. Using the Cisco Digital Media Manager (DMM), the centralized management system component of Cisco Digital Signage, you can flexibly and remotely publish centralized content to networked digital displays. You can attach the Cisco Digital Media Player to virtually any on‑premises digital display at any location - for example, in a branch-office bank, retail store, or a break room or lobby - across any geography.

● Broadcast with Cisco Cast: You can control IP-based broadcast television through the Cisco Digital Media Player Remote Control and on-screen program guide.
● Low ongoing operational costs and ease of use: The management interface was designed with the nontechnical user in mind to help ensure that little training is needed.
● Speed of deployment: Installation of the 4310 has been simplified to reduce the burdens of deployment and maintenance for IT.
● Reliability and power of the network: Tightly integrated with the network, the 4310 uses the reliability and security of the underlying network as a platform. This appliance-based solution has no moving parts, avoiding security and maintenance concerns associated with PCs.
