Uniguest has added Node.js support for Brightsign devices and a new API with the release of the Onelan 24.2 software update for its digital signage software CMS.
Node.js is an industry-standard technology that allows developers to build rich, interactive, and dynamic web applications. This new capability allows Node.js applications to be uploaded to the CMS; these are then downloaded, installed, and run locally on the BrightSign player. This addition enables Onelan customers who use BrightSign devices to create sophisticated HTML content and is designed to enable a variety of applications such as product selection kiosks or on-demand information displays, where customers are able to manually input their requirements, and the application provides suitable products and information.
This update also introduces a new API for automating content management and playlist scheduling from third-party applications, enabling customers to leverage their existing schedule management tools to deploy content automatically across their Onelan signage network.
