It looks like these are standalone products for Windows. I have ways to transfer files back and forth to dedicated pc's for conversion, so they may work out. If anyone knows of a server plug-in for Linux, please let me know.

Create a 30-day demo for your customer prior to your visit with them. Install this demo as a stand alone on your laptop.
Your customer may be willing to give you a couple of graphics (e.g., JPGs or GIFs) ahead of time. However, you may find some examples of content via their website. Go into their demo to change the PREFERENCES to their color theme & choose ADVANCED settings as well as the SPLIT SCREEN for a different display look. Send an email of the 10-page demo to your customer from within the VIEW SIGNAGE area. Give your customer the Username and the case sensitive password after your demo. They will have the remainder of 30 days to work in the software modifying content as they wish. Call Amy at StrandVision if questions about how to set up a stand alone demo for your customer at a trade show, sales at a bass tournament or football game, etc.
Save time preparing for a sales call. This can be so much easier by providing an example of an existing StrandVision digital signage application like that of your customer(s).
Check out our http://data.strandvision.com/press.html section via this link on the StrandVision website. We have several examples of installations in several industries for marketing, employee and membership communications that you can use with your prospects.
Heres a handy way to log right into StrandVision if you have to reboot your computer. The suggestion is thanks to Mario Medrano of Luther Midelfort-Mayo Health System
I wanted a way to log right into StrandVision on our dedicated computer if the power went out or if we had to reboot for some other reason. I looked around and found an article from Microsoft at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231
that describes the different steps to automatically launch programs and communications (including StrandVision digital signage). This process works for Microsoft Windows XP I cant vouch for Vista or any other operating system and it involves editing the Registry, so be sure to make a backup before you begin.
If the PC loses power or if needing to install patches from Microsoft and the PC has to be restarted, you can now have the PC automatically log into the account with the screen setting configurations and restart StrandVision--without user interaction.
Start by creating a local admin account that will be used for installing StrandVision in the future.
Then, follow the steps below:
You can use Registry Editor to add your log on information. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
3. Using your account name and password, double-click the DefaultUserName entry, type your user name, and then click OK.
4. Double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type your password under the value data box, and then click OK.
5. If there is no DefaultPassword value, create the value. To do this, follow these steps:
* In Registry Editor, click Edit, click New, and then click String Value.
* Type DefaultPassword as the value name, and then press ENTER.
* Double-click the newly created key, and then type your password in the Value Data box.
6. If no DefaultPassword string is specified, Windows XP automatically changes the value of the AutoAdminLogon registry key from 1 (true) to 0 (false) to turn off the AutoAdminLogon feature.
7. Double-click the AutoAdminLogon entry, type 1 in the Value Data box, and then click OK.
8. If there is no AutoAdminLogon entry, create the entry. To do this, follow these steps:
* In Registry Editor, click Edit, click New, and then click String Value.
* Type AutoAdminLogon as the value name, and then press ENTER.
* Double-click the newly created key, and then type 1 in the Value Data box.
9. Quit Registry Editor.
10. Start, click Restart, and then click OK.
After your computer restarts and Windows XP starts, you can log on automatically.
Yes, one network card. We recommend a hard-wired network connection instead of a wireless (if an option). Any video card will work, however, having one with good direct-x capabilities will provide for smoother playback of scrolling text, video, etc. Get one that is rated well with recent PC video games for the best performance.
Since StrandVision Digital Signage is an internet-driven system, there are very few requirements for the Basic system. For video playback, a Windows 2000 or XP computer system with 2.5ghz or faster computer, 512MB Ram, 40GB hard drive, VGA display adapter with 64MB RAM(or more). A web browser that supports Javascript and Flash (Internet Explorer 3.0 or Netscape 4.0)

I noticed that the $name$ is not substituted on the radar screen title-- at least using the 'demo' account I am testing! No big deal, but an fyi anyway. By the way, so far so good, the system works very well!
Hello and thank you for your questions about the loss of power. Actually, when and if, the internet service is disrupted, your signage will continue to play as it is cached automatically to the player PC. If the power is lost completely, it depends on how you have set up the player PC. If utilizing the set up within the player PC (e.g., ROM bios), you can select start at the beginning, continue or constantly play the loop. The default would be to start at the beginning of the loop of pages you have created.
Please give us a call if you would like to see a live demonstration of StrandVision's digital signage. You may use the trial demo via our home page at www.strandvision.com
