Media Player Spotlight: Google Chromecast

Media Player Spotlight: Google Chromecast

Google’s Chromecast device first debuted in 2013. At the time, it was simply used for mirroring content from a laptop or mobile device to one’s TV. It couldn’t run native apps like the Fire Stick or Apple TV, so it wasn’t useful for applications like digital signage. In 2020, however, Google released the 4th generation Chromecast. This latest model comes in HD or 4K versions, runs Android 10 and comes with the user-friendly Google TV interface, which lets users install apps like HBO, Netflix, and of course XOGO Player.

Digital signage content tends to be silent, unless you have videos in your playlist that contain an audio track (which can become annoying if you have the playlist on rotation all day long). What if you want to have professional in-store music playing on your screens along with your digital signage content? That's where Cloud Cover comes in.

A smart TV is one that can connect to the Internet, generally in order to stream content from apps like Netflix or HBO. They have an internal computer called an SOC (system-on-a-chip), and typically connect to an app store where applications like XOGO Player can be downloaded for free. Smart TVs are fantastic for digital signage, for a number of reasons.
