DIY Raspberry Pi Media Player
We believe strongly in the future of the Raspberry Pi platform and have made significant investments to develop and optimize our XOGO Player digital signage app for RPi computers. The instructions below are intended for those that would like to purchase their own RPi3 or RPi4 computer and turn it into a DIY digital signage player.
Sharp / NEC Commercial Displays
Pros: RPi module integrated into commercial displays! Install XOGO Player using on-screen menus. Thin bezel, durable, and since XOGO runs on the RPi module you don’t need to plug in an external player device.
Cons: Can you find lower-priced displays on the market? Yes, but these are commercial-grade and designed to operate 24/7 for years. You also don’t need to purchase an external player.
Cost: $500-3,500 USD
