Streaming solution based over IP
 |
Compared with traditional approaches to delivering content to digital signage screens, ScreenGate IP Streaming offers significant advantages:is IP-basedleverages the extensive and growing infrastructure of digital networks
uses the hardware and software products that are designed to operate on those networks
 |
 |
Cost effective and scalable
 |
Because IP is a standard industry, ScreenGate IP Streaming’s initial installation is both less costly and less time-consuming. Any additional IP-compatible screens can simply be attached to the network and interoperability and flexibility are guaranteed – providing simple and cost-effective scalability as a network grows.
 |
 |
Uses existing network infrastructure
 |
Since ScreenGate IP Streaming is taking advantage of the existing network infrastructure as well as the technologies designed to maximize the quality of delivered content while minimizing bandwidth consumption. It also allows access to a growing number of sophisticated network management tools.

ScreenGate IP Streaming + SMG Solution
 |
When complemented with the ScreenGate Management Gateway (SMG), Screengate IP Streaming offers a fully managed solution which monitors the network’s performance from end to end, identifying failures and fault locations and providing alerts for immediate action. SMG also allows ongoing content switching and input selection.
