How to use Fire TV for Digital Signage.

Fire TV is a powerful device and OS that lets you turn an existing screen into a digital sign.

Digital signage is an effective way to communicate with customers and employees, and Fire Sticks are a great way to get digital signage up and running. You can easily send content from your mobile device or laptop to just about any screen that has an HDMI port with Fire TV.

If you are looking for cost effective TV digital signage, Amazon Fire TV for digital signage is a great option. You can remotely control any number of Fire TVs all from one place with Display NOW Manager. Fire TV is available as a streaming stick or integrated into new TVs if you lack screens.

These streaming sticks can be connected to any TV with an HDMI input, quickly turning it into an electronic sign. You don’t need expensive screens or hardware anymore.

There are a variety of options available:

  • Fire TV Stick Lite
  • Fire TV Stick HD
  • Fire TV Stick 4K - recommended (if you have a screen already)
  • Fire TV built-in - recommended (if you don't have a screen yet)

Our software adapts your media to the device, but we suggest choosing the 4K Fire TV stick, as it is more powerful than other options and performs better overall. The Lite version is good for showing basic content (like images).

We’ve created digital signage media player software that gets installed on Fire TV from the Amazon App Store. Our app is free and all you need is an Amazon account to download it. The setup process is as easy as 1-2-3...
