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.

Reduce Cable Clutter with POE ⚡️

Digital signage players require Internet connectivity in order to receive your playlists from the cloud, and to play URL-based content like dynamic content feeds. Of course, they also require a power source - but did you know that you can deliver both connectivity and power through a single cable?
