Presentation Title

Centrally Managed Digital Signage – One Solution That Doesn’t Break The Bank        

Abstract

There are many solutions to digital signage on campus, including expensive third parties and bulky attached computers that are tricky to manage centrally.  This presentation will go through the relative ease of using a central, open source management server combined with cheap Google Chromecasts to deliver dynamic, sharable content to screens campuswide.
