Windows Digital Signage VS. Android Digital Signage

1. System stability

 

Windows digital signage:

 

 

(1) The system cannot be customized and cannot be developed in depth. The cost of the genuine system is very high, and the non-genuine one needs to find a way to activate it;

 

(2) The version of the software that comes with the system is relatively low, and you need to uninstall and upgrade by yourself or install third-party external software;

 

(3) All software and programs are pre-installed on the C drive, which increases the burden on the system. Even if uninstalled, there are still a lot of junk fragment files left, which is easy to slow down the system.

 

(4) Abnormal shutdown can easily cause system crash or file loss.

 

Android digital signage:

 

(1) The open source system can be deeply developed and customized. For example, all current Internet TVs are fully developed and customized Android systems, and their stability has been recognized by the market.

 

(2) It is because of the openness of the system that it attracts a large number of software and hardware technicians. At present, it has supported most of the software and hardware required for office, teaching, entertainment, etc.

 

(3) The system version is updated quickly, and the software and hardware compatibility problems found in the market are dealt with, and the upgrade is simple and convenient.

 

(4) The system files are hidden and invisible, not easy to be infected with viruses, and the maintenance cost is low.

 

(5) There is no need to shut down according to the process steps, you can directly power off and shut down, which will not cause the system to crash.

 

2. Touch experience

 

Windows all-in-one machine:

 

The Windows system is mainly developed for desktop computer applications to meet the needs of office and entertainment. Through keyboard and mouse operations, the Windows 10 system performs better in terms of touch.

 

Android all-in-one machine:

 

The Android system itself is born for touch, so it is the best in terms of touch support. Many applications developed based on Android have a significantly higher touch experience than those under the Windows system. The Android system also supports keyboard input and mouse operations.

 

3. Maintenance convenience

 

Windows all-in-one machine:

 

The hardware configuration of the Windows all-in-one machine is similar to that of a PC except for the addition of a touch screen. It requires cpu, hard disk, memory, etc., most of which are inserted into the interface, which may become loose during transportation and cannot be turned on. There are too many maintenance interfaces, and the manufacturers of these accessories are inconsistent, and the compatibility failures are more prominent, such as blue screen, memory error codes, etc.

 

Android all-in-one machine:

 

Android all-in-one hardware is all-in-one integrated package, all hardware is packaged on the motherboard, and transportation will not be loose. And after a long period of professional compatibility and adaptation by the manufacturer, there is no compatibility worry. System problems can be solved by re-upgrading or flashing the USB flash drive. The operation process has been greatly optimized and can be completed without professionals.

 

4. Application scalability

 

Windows all-in-one machine:

 

Because the windows system market has been used for a long time, the software based on the windows system is also very rich, but some applications are not well supported in the touch environment of the all-in-one computer, and need to be deeply customized by software manufacturers, and the cost and effect need to be optimized.

 

Android all-in-one machine:

 

The Android system market application is later than the Windows system. Although the supported applications are not as many as the Windows system, due to the free and open nature of the system, many software manufacturers have added more and more applications after development in recent years. Currently, it supports office, There is no problem in teaching and entertainment. What is more important is that the application development itself is custom developed to support touch, and the touch experience is better than that of Windows all-in-one.

 

5. Cost-effective

 

Under the same experience configuration, the Windows all-in-one machine is more expensive than the Android all-in-one machine regardless of hardware cost or system copyright issue. This is also a fact that is widely known in the market.

 

In a word, comparing Android digital signage with Windows digital signage, from the market feedback, Android digital signage system stability, hardware stability, developability, maintenance cost and cost performance are more and more advantageous, and more customers tend to choose Android digital signage.

  The aspect ratio describes how the picture appears on the screen. Take 4:3 as an example, 4 refers to the width and 3 refers to the height. To understand this question, we have to look back at history. The size of the first movie film used by Edison in the laboratory was 1 inch wide and 0.75 inches high. To avoid decimals, it became the most familiar 4:3 format, which lasted 60 years as the standard format for film production. Then came a watershed moment in American history: the television boom. For a while, the 4:3 aspect ratio of movies worked well with rectangular television screens, and seeing more and more households buying televisions, studios had to use the new format in an attempt to draw audiences away from home back to the theater. Before understanding the widescreen, let us get familiar with CinemaScope, Panavision and widescreen. These three words can be translated as widescreen, but they are not exactly the same. Widescreen is a general term, and Cinema-Scope is the...
