How to manage such a screen, or a large number of them, in a convenient and efficient way?
In this case, it does not matter much whether we want to control one TV or dozens? The solution will always be the same And now how do we do it? We will need, first of all, the so-called raspberry. This is a micro computer, the so-called raspberry pi. This is the older model 2b is also suitable the new one is version 4 with a cost of 200 to 300 zloty. Next we will need an SD card, which is the disk for our tinyka, on which we will upload our operating system. Next an adapter, which we will connect to USB and be able to record our operating system onto it. In this way, then the power supply to the Tiny in the case of older Tiny it is usb micro. In the case of the newer ones it will be usb type C. We will need a cable with which to connect our little one to the TV.
In this case, it will be the same two HDMI cables. In the case of the new Malinka, in the case of version four, note, this will also be HDMI micro. A power supply and a bucket of Internet will also come in handy, because, as I mentioned after setup, it will not matter where our display will stand? Only that it is connected to the TV and must have access to the Internet.
Ultimately, it does not matter whether wi-fi or over cable? In the case of newer version 3 and 4 devices, it will be wi-fi seamlessly. In the case of the older model, unfortunately, it doesn't have wi-fi and doesn't work too well with attached devices. So we already know what is needed? A TV plus all this kit, we'll connect it and get to work. With the help of the open source project PiSignage will come to us. What does it look like? I invite you to watch the whole video.
