Digital Signage

Create and edit digital signage and instantly deploy it on any one or more video outputs. ShowMagic AV’s digital signage features offer a multi-channel alternative to PowerPoint.

PowerPoint

PowerPoint presentations can be stored and played (full screen) on any one video output, with control of start, stop, back-a-slide and forward-a-slide.

Virtual Windows

ShowMagic AV’s unique ‘Virtual Window’ system enables you to play video, pictures and digital signage in any size and position on any video output.

This makes ShowMagic AV an ideal content player for the new generation of LED videowalls.
