How Web and Database Integration Works
Data flow: your database connects through an API or SDK to a web page, which a CAYIN SMP player renders and shows on screens. An optional CAYIN CMS server (CMS-SE or CMS-WS) centrally manages multiple players.

Can CAYIN digital signage integrate with an existing database or web application?
Yes. CAYIN players connect to your system through its API or SDK, pull the data, and render it as web-based content on screen. Any database or application that exposes an API or SDK can be used.
Which CAYIN digital signage players support web-based, database-driven content?
The SMP-8100, SMP-2400, and SMP-2200 run HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript and can call external APIs, so they display live data from your systems without a separate PC.
What types of systems can CAYIN web-based digital signage connect to?
Common integrations include hotel management and reservation systems, sales and inventory systems, factory management systems, school bulletin systems, sports scoring systems, and queuing systems for banks and hospitals. Each links through its own API or SDK.
Does connecting CAYIN signage to my systems require custom development?
There is no fixed procedure because every database is different. The connection is built against your data source API or SDK, and a system integrator usually handles this for you. If your system has no API, the CAYIN R&D team can develop a suitable method.
How often does the on-screen data update?
The refresh interval is yours to set, from scheduled updates to live updates as the source data changes.
Does our data have to leave the internal network?
No. The integration can run entirely on premises. You can also use the cloud if that suits your setup.
What data formats are supported?
Anything reachable through an API or SDK. When neither exists, the CAYIN R&D team can build a custom connection for your data source.
What happens to the screen if the network goes down?
SMP players can be pre-configured with fallback content that plays during an outage, so screens never go blank.
Do I need CMS-WS or CMS-SE?
The players can run on their own. To manage content and data centrally, add CMS-WS, the cloud server, or CMS-SE, the software server you install on your own hardware. Buy the players first, then add a server to manage them together.
