Digital Signage Powered by Raspberry

A fruity combination

Digital signage is an innovative tool that helps boost your communication by enabling all types of content to be displayed on all types of screens. To connect any non-SOC-compatible display, Emity offers a selection of selection of players. These devices feature Raspberry Pi © technology. EMITY is notably compatible with Raspberry 3 and 4.

SMALL BUT POWERFUL

The Raspberry is a nano-computer often used as a link platform for digital signage. It’s a modern, compact and efficient solution to enjoy the benefits of digital signage on any equipment. Thanks to its size, low energy consumption and power, the Raspberry is an interesting alternative to traditional solutions. Highly functional, it will enable you to manage the broadcasting of images and videos on several digital signage screens.

Using the Raspberry Pi as a digital signage player is a wise decision in terms of energy consumption. The simplicity of this nanocomputer’s architecture means that energy consumption is considerably reduced, up to 10 times less than that of a conventional player (Intel Nuc) for the same performance.

EMITY x RASPBERRY: OVER 10 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

For over a decade, EMITY has leveraged its solid experience to offer innovative and reliable display solutions.

While in 2015, a powerful computer was still necessary to broadcast content on screen, our integration of the Raspberry case into our digital signage solutions revolutionized practices by enabling communication with compact, discreet, and space-saving hardware.

The development of this tool at EMITY is based on the expertise of two senior engineers, Gédéon and Alexandre, who designed our high-performance software, capable of deploying all types of media on screens via a simple Raspberry.

In 2026, our network will exceed 3,000 interconnected screens, with a failure rate of less than 0.5%, proving the robustness of this economical and sustainable technology, which experiences very little wear over time. With 10 years of hindsight, our oldest system having been installed since 2016, we offer our clients confidence, expertise, and support renowned for its reliability.

EMITY OFFERS

Our E-MANAGER web-based digital signage platform is fully integrated with the use of Raspberry Pi. Screen management is simple, fast and efficient. At EMITY, our specialty is connecting a device to a network of screens in just a few minutes and broadcasting your media to all connected screens. And if you need it, we can remotely take control of your equipment to make settings or corrections.

Our digital signage software integrates directly into our Raspberry-equipped players, which connect to the screens via a universal HDMI cable. The box can turn your screens on and off whenever you decide.

In line with our CSR approach, EMITY is committed to maximizing the reuse of existing monitors to avoid purchasing and producing new equipment. And if you already own a Raspberry, you can order an SD containing the software (E-Soft) at an attractive price.

Digital signage with raspberry: how does it work?

The advantage of Raspberry is its ease of installation and use. In fact, anyone can set up a digital signage system with a Raspberry Pi. The aim of the Raspberry company, a value shared by EMITY, is to make digital technology accessible to the widest possible audience. With this tool, any company’s internal and external communication can be easily improved.

The Raspberry Pi has its own operating system: the Raspberry OS. This system facilitates the implementation of digital signage software, notably E-MANAGER developed by Emity. All the Raspberry needs is an SD card and an HDMI power supply, and you’re ready to broadcast your content to the screens of your choice.

The Raspberry thus proves to be a modern, ecological, and affordable choice for the digital signage offered by EMITY. Technology is evolving, and solutions like these are helping to increase digital accessibility.
