About SmartSignage 3.0

SmartSignage 3.0 is an application that allows you to easily run slideshow‑style digital signage on PCs running Microsoft® Windows® 11 or Apple macOS 15.
By simply selecting a folder, the application displays the still images, videos, PDFs, and web pages inside it in alphabetical order. You can specify the display duration for each item, and for videos, you can choose to switch to the next item only after playback has finished. Transition effects can also be applied when switching between items.
For web page display, protected pages can be shown by using the automatic login feature.
SmartSignage includes a companion application called SmartSignage Process Monitor, which monitors SmartSignage’s operation and automatically restarts it if a malfunction or unexpected termination is detected. This ensures automatic recovery even if SmartSignage is closed due to user actions or unexpected errors. For details, see SmartSignage Process Monitor.
Starting with version 3.0, a scheduling feature has been added. You can automatically switch data folders based on specified dates and times. In addition to restarting or shutting down the PC, you can also launch any application of your choice.
Version 3.0 also introduces logging capabilities.
