Your screens update
themselves. A CAYIN SMP player reads live data and video straight from your sources and
networks, then puts it on screen as a web page or a live broadcast.
Nobody types a
figure, swaps a slide, or reprints a sign. When the source changes, the screen changes,
whether
you run one site or many.
Live information runs as a full web page on the player. It
pulls RSS, exchange rates, weather, prices, and other feeds from your server and shows them
the
moment they update.
Streaming video reaches the same player three ways, from a camera
or
tuner on the unit, from a stream on your LAN, or from a source across the internet. Pick the
path that fits each location.
Data flow: your web source connects through an API or SDK to a CAYIN SMP
player, and video reaches the same player from a TV tuner on the unit, from a LAN stream over
RTB or
a Media Gateway, or from a WAN stream over RTB, an MMS Server, or a Media Gateway. The player
renders live information and streaming video on screen.
CAYIN Digital Signage Players Keep These Screens Live

Class schedules, announcements, and campus notices publish from the school information
system to displays across every building, with no slideshow to maintain.
Every SMP player pulls its own live data and video without a server. Add a CAYIN
CMS server when you run many screens and want one place to manage feeds,
playlists, and streaming sources across sites. Start with the players, then bring in a server when
central control helps.
CMS-SE
Robustie Solution
Content management software you install on your own server, keeping content and data feeds
inside your network.
Anything your web server can serve. Common feeds are RSS, exchange and metal rates, stock
prices, weather, and news tickers. The player reads the feed and renders it as part of
the
page.
Which players support live feed and streaming video?
The SMP-8100, SMP-2400, and SMP-2200 run HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for live web data and
receive
streaming video over LAN, WAN, or their own video input.
Do I need to write code to pull live data onto a screen?
For a standard web feed, no. For a custom data source, a short template or a system
integrator connects it through the source API or SDK.
Where can streaming video come from?
From a local video input on the player such as a USB camera or a TV tuner, from a LAN
source
over RTB or a Media Gateway, or from a WAN source over the internet.
What is RTB?
Real Time Broadcast. A CAYIN CMS server pushes one live video stream to every connected
SMP player at once, which suits stage events, lectures, and
multi
site broadcasts.
How current is the on screen data?
You set the refresh interval, from a scheduled pull to a live update the moment the
source
changes.
What happens if the network goes down?
The player keeps showing its last content or a fallback playlist, so the screen never
goes
blank.
Can I run this across many sites?
Yes. Each player pulls its own feeds, and a CAYIN CMS server adds central control of
content, scheduling, and sources across locations.
