Product decision guide
Choose by screen job, not by manufacturer.
CrownTV specifies approved commercial display classes by function first. The right recommendation starts with brightness, duty cycle, placement, controls, warranty, mounting, service access, and support.
How we specify it
- Indoor wall or lobby: prioritize clean mounting, anti-glare glass, locked controls, and 16/7 or 24/7 duty cycle.
- Window-facing: prioritize brightness, heat management, anti-glare finish, and content readable from outside.
- Outdoor: prioritize weather rating, secure mounting, electrical path, and service access.
- Video wall: prioritize bezel, sync, cable path, and maintenance access.

What digital signage software actually does
A digital signage CMS with the services that make screens useful.
A digital signage content management system is the browser-based control panel for scheduling content, managing playlists, setting permissions, and monitoring screen health across your network.
CrownTV keeps the scope clean: use the Dashboard as your digital signage software, or bundle it with turnkey digital signage, commercial displays, nationwide installation, content design, and managed support.
Schedule + control
Cloud digital signage, playlists, screen groups, permissions, alerts, and remote digital signage management.
Mount + launch
Commercial displays, media players, cabling, install coordination, content loading, and training.
Keep it live
Managed digital signage support for content changes, troubleshooting, replacement paths, and rollout hygiene.
CrownTV is a turnkey digital signage provider helping brands digitize their physical spaces. We bundle three things most vendors split apart: our cloud-based digital signage software, commercial-grade indoor and high-brightness window displays, and a nationwide installation team. We run the whole stack — site survey, hardware, install, content management, ongoing support — under one contract. From a single screen in one location to a national rollout across 500 stores, the playbook is the same.
Cloud-based CMS
Manage one location or 500 from the same browser dashboard. No VPN, on-prem server, or local software install.

PricingA guided tour
Five screens that do the actual work.
Most signage CMS demos are a wall of buttons. Ours is five rooms — overview, screens, content, schedule, apps — and you'll only ever live in three of them.
-
Overview
Every screen, every location, at a glance.
The landing screen answers the only question that matters at 8:01am Monday: is the network up? Live status, last sync, content health — one view.
dashboard.crowntv-us.com / overview -
Screens
Drill into any screen, in any city, in two clicks.
Click a screen — uptime, last playback, current playlist. Push a reboot, swap a playlist, or roll firmware from the same panel. No SSH, no IT ticket.
dashboard.crowntv-us.com / screens
-
Content library
Drag, drop, brand-locked, ready to publish.
Brand fonts, palettes, logos, and approved templates in one shared library. Upload a video — the dashboard auto-applies the brand kit. Regional managers can never publish off-brand.
dashboard.crowntv-us.com / library
-
Schedule
Day-part the morning, swap the evening, never lift a finger.
Calendar view shows what's playing where, when, and on which screens. Lunch promo, Friday happy-hour board, one-off event takeover — set it, walk away.
dashboard.crowntv-us.com / schedule

Apps + integrations
Live data on every screen — without writing a line of code.
Pre-built apps for POS, weather, KPIs, social, calendars. Plug in credentials, drag the tile onto a layout, publish.
dashboard.crowntv-us.com / apps
Schedule + publish
Set it once. Walk away.
Calendar-driven scheduling, day-parting, multi-zone layouts, every format you'd ever publish — with the kind of boring reliability you actually want from infrastructure.
Playlist scheduling & day-parting
Playlists rotate automatically. Day-part swaps morning specials for evening campaigns. Calendar view shows what's playing where and when.
Recurring lunch promo, Friday-only happy hour, one-off event takeover — set it, walk away.
Drag-and-drop editor + templates
Upload images, videos, graphics — arrange them in custom layouts. Built-in templates for menus, promos, KPI boards, wayfinding.
Multi-zone screen layouts
Video, ticker, image, weather, live data in customizable zones. One screen, many content streams at once.
Unlimited screens, one dashboard
Group screens by location, region, brand, or campaign. Push to one or all in seconds — same workflow at 5 screens or 5,000.
Apps + integrations
Live data on your screens —
without writing a line of code.
A static slideshow gets ignored. Live data — sales counters, weather, KPI dashboards, social proof — gets read. Plug in credentials, drag the app onto a layout, publish.
POS & sales feeds
Square, Toast, and most major POS systems for live sales tickers and member-count displays.
Square · Toast · Clover
Weather & time
Live local weather, time, and forecast overlays for any screen in any city — auto-refreshing on the schedule you set.

KPI dashboards
Embed live dashboards from Tableau, Looker, Google Sheets, or any URL-accessible source. Boardroom screens, ops floors, war rooms.

Live preview
The dashboard, actually moving.
A stylized snapshot of what every screen looks like in production: scheduled blocks roll across the timeline, status dots pulse green, content blocks publish in real time. Not a mockup — an honest cartoon of the real thing.
dashboard.crowntv-us.com / live
LIVE
Run + monitor
Boring infrastructure.
The good kind.
Real-time monitoring, screen-down alerts, offline cache, analytics, an open API. The kind of unglamorous reliability nobody notices — until they don't have it.
Nobody wants to find out a screen has been showing the wrong promo for six hours from a customer.
Live status Real-time monitoring & alerts
Every screen's status, last sync, last playback, and uptime — live. Email and SMS alerts fire when a screen drops offline or content fails to load.
Alerts Screen-down alert routing
Route alerts to the right person — store-level to the regional manager, network-wide to ops, hardware-fault to the install crew. PagerDuty-style escalation on enterprise plans.
Resilience Offline cache + auto-restart
Local content cache keeps screens running through brief outages. On-device watchdog auto-restarts on fault and dispatches an alert.
Reporting Per-screen, per-campaign analytics
Reporting on playback, uptime, error rates, and content frequency — per-screen, per-location, per-campaign. CSV export or webhooks to your BI stack.
Programmatic Open API + webhooks
Programmatically push content, manage screens, read playback events. Webhook events for screen-offline, content-update, schedule-change — wire into Datadog, PagerDuty, Slack.
Currently powering over 16,000 screens
in 4 countries.
Team + security
Roles, SSO, brand kits, and a phone in your pocket.
The dashboard you give to a regional manager isn't the dashboard you give to your CMO. Scoped permissions are the difference between centralized and chaotic.
User roles & permissions
Admin, editor, or viewer roles per user. Approval workflows for franchise networks where local content must pass brand review before going live.
SSO + enterprise security
SAML/SSO via Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace. Encrypted media at rest and in transit. Role-based folder permissions. Data residency options on enterprise plans.
Brand kits + content library
Upload brand fonts, color palettes, logos, and approved assets once. Templates auto-apply the brand kit so every screen matches the brand book — even when local managers update content.
iOS + Android dashboard apps
Manage screens, push emergency broadcasts, and monitor health from your phone. Approve content from anywhere — useful for franchise networks and on-call ops.
Cloud-based digital signage software
Cloud digital signage. Every screen, every location, one browser.
The CrownTV Dashboard is fully cloud-hosted — no on-prem server, no VPN, no IT person babysitting an on-site box at every location. The CMS lives in our infrastructure; the players cache content locally so playback survives network drops; you sign in from any browser to manage one screen or 500.
Manage from anywhere
One browser login, every screen
Schedule a campaign in NYC at 9am that goes live in San Francisco at 9am local. Update content in 5 stores or 500 from the same dashboard. No VPN, no remote desktop, no on-site IT.
Auto-failover
Offline cache + auto-restart
Every CrownTV media player caches scheduled content locally. When the network drops, content keeps playing. When the network returns, the player syncs the next scheduled update. Unattended sites stay on-air.
Permissions + audit
SSO, RBAC, audit logs
Role-based access, SAML/SSO via Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace. Audit logs for who-changed-what. Required for healthcare, financial-services, and government deployments with compliance scopes.
Push instantly, globally
Emergency override in seconds
Lockdown alerts, weather warnings, evacuation messaging — the cloud-managed model lets you reach every screen in every location in seconds. Same dashboard pushes brand content or emergency takeovers.
No re-platforming
Scale without migration
Add a screen, add a tenant, add a location — same Dashboard, same workflow. CrownTV runs networks from 5 screens to 5,000 on the same digital signage platform. No license unlocks, no architecture migration.
Cloud vs on-prem
When on-premise still wins
For 95% of multi-location operators, cloud digital signage software wins on cost, speed, and IT effort. The honest exception: air-gapped government and defense deployments where the network can't touch the public internet. Read more in our cloud signage operator's guide.

Frequently asked
Digital signage software — frequently asked
What is the best digital signage software?
There's no single best — there's the best fit for your scope. Software-only buyers (already have hardware, in-house IT) usually do well with Yodeck, OptiSigns, or ScreenCloud. Buyers who want one accountable vendor across hardware, install, software, and ongoing managed service pick CrownTV. We've run 16,000+ screens for 13+ years, with named retail clients including L'Occitane, Janie and Jack, and Pressed Juicery.
Is digital signage software free?
Free digital signage software exists — Yodeck Free, OptiSigns Free, AbleSign, and digitalsignage.com all run a freemium tier. The free tiers are real for one or two screens with limited features. For multi-location operators with brand controls, role-based permissions, and SLAs, paid software is the actual answer. CrownTV is not free — software-only is $20 per screen per month with annual billing, or bundled into our turnkey install.
Does Microsoft have a digital signage app?
Microsoft does not ship a dedicated digital signage CMS today. Some teams hack one together with PowerPoint on a kiosk-mode Windows mini-PC, but that's not a real signage platform — no scheduling, no remote management, no multi-location grouping, no offline cache. For Microsoft 365 customers we connect Outlook calendars, Power BI dashboards, and SharePoint feeds into the CrownTV Dashboard through pre-built integrations.
What is the free software to design signs?
Canva, MustHaveMenus, and Adobe Express are the most-used free design tools for static sign artwork. They produce the JPG, PNG, or PDF — they don't push it to a screen, schedule it, or monitor playback. That's the digital signage software layer. Design in Canva, then upload to the CrownTV Dashboard for scheduling, multi-location rollout, and live status.
What hardware does CrownTV's CMS support?
Our CMS runs on the CrownTV media player (the standard turnkey config) and supports BYOD on compatible commercial displays, BrightSign players, and most Android devices. Bring your existing hardware if you have it. If you don't, we ship the panel, the player, and the install as one bundle.
Is the digital signage software included with hardware?
Yes — when you buy a turnkey install. Every per-screen all-in price ($3,200 for a 32-inch 4K commercial install up to $19,600 for a 98-inch) includes the first year of CrownTV Dashboard digital signage software. Year-two software runs $20 per screen per month on standard tier.
Do I need IT to set up the digital signage CMS?
No. The Dashboard is designed for marketing teams and store managers — drag-and-drop content editor, pre-built templates, scheduled playlists, role-based permissions. If you can use Google Drive, you can use CrownTV. IT only gets involved for SSO/SAML setup and network-segmentation work — both included on enterprise plans.
What happens if my internet goes down?
Content keeps playing. Every CrownTV media player caches scheduled content locally and continues playback through outages. When connectivity returns, the player checks in, downloads any new schedules, and reports current status. Screens don't go blank just because the WiFi did.
