iRevo iDS Cast

This application is for use with the iRevo Digital Signage Software running on an Android TV, Android devices and Fire TV devices. The iDS Cast App extends the functionality of the iRevo Digital Signage offering by enabling casting of announcements and emergency messages on a signage display. These announcements and messages can be removed via the App. Furthermore, the App enables casting of photos, videos, music and pdf files from a user’s phone to the signage display. While the content from iDS Cast is displayed, the main Project running on the iDS Player is not disturbed and continuously runs.

This process of local content display enables certain capabilities to ground personnel without exposing them to iDS Author and iDS Manage portals. This makes it easy and secure too. The iDS Cast app requires that the user have an iRevo Digital Signage user account and permission to use the iDS Cast App, as authorized by their iRevo Digital Signage Administrator for the user’s company.
