Re: [MCN-L] Digital Signage options

+1 for BrightSign - we recently consolidated all of our digital signage on it 
and it's pretty solid, but with a bit of a learning curve.

We use Bright Sign https://www.brightsign.biz/ It hits most/all of your 
requirements. We use the BrightAuthor CMS. Ease of use is subjective of course. 
It can be a little challenging to schedule multiple files to the screens.  We 
manage 5 screens and are pushing video regularly.
