Digital signage is a specialized form of silvercasting where digital multimedia content such as images, video, and streaming media can be displayed at public places for advertising or information purpose. Evolving since the mid-90s, digital signage systems now represent one of the most potent channels for displaying media at key public spaces such transit points, stadiums, museums, retail outlets, and hotels & restaurants, among others.
