Switching Your Digital Signage CMS Without Replacing Hardware: Easier Than You Think

Digital signage is everywhere - airports, casinos, visitor attractions, retail, and corporate spaces. Displays are already in place, delivering content day in and day out. But for many organisations, the real limitation isn’t the hardware, it’s the software driving it.

If your current CMS feels clunky, costly, or unreliable, you don’t need to rip out your entire infrastructure. With StudioDX, you can keep your existing hardware and unlock a modern, future-ready platform that delivers pixel-perfect playback, simplified.

Why Companies Switch to StudioDX

Organisations come to us because their existing CMS can’t keep up. The common challenges we hear include:

• High licensing and support costs that eat into ROI.

• Slow, outdated tools that frustrate teams and slow down deployment.

• Limited integrations that prevent them from using live data or triggering dynamic playback.

• Downtime caused by unstable systems with no fail-safe backup.

StudioDX was built to solve exactly these pain points, delivering a CMS that reduces complexity, saves costs, and maximises the value of your existing displays.

Keep the Hardware. Upgrade the Experience.

Switching CMS doesn’t have to mean ripping out what you already own. StudioDX runs on a wide range of players and display types, so you can:

• Extend the life of your current hardware.

• Avoid costly re-installation projects.

Think of it as upgrading your signage engine while keeping the same screens on the wall.
