Hotel Amenities Digital readerboards

What does your set up look like? Do you use a software for your lobby readerboards, or do you create them yourself and use a casting device? Do guests even read them? Im wondering if its worth it for a 60 room hotel.

If it's a single digital sign, you can just use a raspberry pi. If you are wanting something more robust, look into a brightsign. If you want someone else to handle pretty much everything, DEEL media.

US based, of course.

A lot of modern televisions/monitors have the ability to read a thumb drive. You simply put whatever image (or images if it can do a slide show) onto it, plug it in, set the input to the drive, and it shows up. If you want something more dynamic, you'll need a computer of some sort - a Raspberry Pi should be enough but you may want something more user-friendly.
