How does digital signage software work?

Digital signage works through three components: a display (any commercial TV or smart screen), a media player (a small device like Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV, or BrightSign — or the screen's built-in OS), and content management software (CMS). You design content in the CMS, schedule when it plays, and the player pulls content from the cloud, caches it locally, and renders it on the screen. The CMS handles updates, monitoring, and user permissions remotely from one dashboard.

Does Kitcast work on Apple TV?

Yes. Kitcast was the first digital signage app on the Apple TV App Store, launching in October 2015 from a pre-release Apple dev kit. The Kitcast tvOS app supports zero-touch deployment through Jamf, Mosyle, and Kandji, single-app mode, full offline playback, and centralized device management. Apple TV pairs with Kitcast in under five minutes — install the app, enter the pairing code from your dashboard, and start publishing.

What hardware do I need for digital signage?

Kitcast runs on most commercial-grade and consumer hardware, so you can use what you already have. Supported devices include Apple TV (tvOS), Amazon Fire TV, Android TV boxes, BrightSign players, Samsung Tizen smart TVs, LG webOS smart TVs, ChromeOS devices, macOS, iOS, and any web browser. No special hardware is required — if you already own an Apple TV, Fire TV Stick, or recent smart TV, you can start signing in minutes.

Does Kitcast work offline?

Yes. Kitcast caches all content locally on every device, so screens keep playing even when the network goes down. As soon as connectivity returns, the device syncs schedule changes and content updates automatically. This is built into every plan, not a Pro-only feature, and it works on all supported platforms including Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV, and BrightSign.

How much does Kitcast cost?

Kitcast starts at $7 per screen per month on the Starter plan, billed annually. The Pro plan is $10 per screen per month and adds SSO, SCIM provisioning, MDM integration (Jamf, Mosyle, Kandji), REST API access, and audit log. Enterprise pricing is custom for large deployments with dedicated support and SLAs. All plans include 24/7 live human support, multi-location management, and a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.

Does Kitcast offer a free trial?

Yes. Kitcast offers a 14-day free trial with full access to Pro features and no credit card required. You can install Kitcast on Apple TV, Android, Fire TV, BrightSign, or use the web player — sign up, install the app on your screen, enter the pairing code from your dashboard, and start publishing in minutes. There is no contract requirement and you can keep using your devices after the trial.

How is Kitcast different from other digital signage software?

Kitcast is the only digital signage platform with a native Apple TV app available on the App Store since launch day in October 2015. It runs on nine platforms, includes enterprise features like SSO, SCIM, MDM integration, and REST API on the Pro plan at $10 per screen per month — features that competitors like ScreenCloud reserve for their Enterprise tier. Kitcast also includes 24/7 live human support across all plans and fully cached offline playback on every device.
