Pre-installed and connected
Android and the InfoBox Digital Signage app come pre-installed on the stick. We connect the device to your organization before it ships.

InfoBox Basic works with any screen or TV that has an HDMI port. No smart TV needed.
03
Wi-Fi with the remote
Open the network settings with the Home and Settings buttons on the remote and pick your network. Once it connects, the screen shows as Online in InfoBox Platform.

Managed from your browser
Add content, build playlists and schedule them in InfoBox Platform. Changes reach the screen over the network, so nobody has to visit the device.
Who is InfoBox Basic for?
InfoBox Basic is made for screens without Android. If the screen has an HDMI port, the stick turns it into a digital sign you manage from your browser. These are the situations it was built for.
A café TV that isn't Android
The TV is already on the wall, but you can't install apps on it. Plug InfoBox Basic into the HDMI port and the TV becomes a menu board with today's pastries, prices and images you made in Canva.
Restaurant menus through the day
Breakfast, lunch and dinner menus each get their own slide with set weekdays and hours, so the right menu is on screen at the right time.
A shop window
The screen in the window shows passers-by this week's offers and your opening hours. Campaign slides are scheduled to start and end on the right day, so an old offer never lingers in the window.
An office lobby
The lobby screen welcomes visitors and shares what's going on. Bring in content from Canva or Google Slides, and show Power BI reports with the InfoBox Power BI add-on.
Staff and break rooms
Shift rosters, safety instructions and notices appear where staff actually see them. Finnish construction company KSBR has piloted InfoBox Basic in the break rooms of two building sites.
A plain screen with no smart features
An older TV or monitor with no apps at all still works as a digital sign, as long as it has an HDMI port. No need to buy a new screen.
Samsung and LG TVs
Most Samsung and LG TVs run their own operating system (Tizen or webOS), and the InfoBox app isn't available for them yet. Native apps are in development. Until then, InfoBox Basic in the HDMI port is the easiest way to use these TVs.
Many screens across several sites
Every stick shows up in the same InfoBox Platform. Publish one playlist to several screens at once, whether they're in the same room or in different cities.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need InfoBox Basic?
Not necessarily. If your screen runs Android 8.0 or newer, you can install the InfoBox Digital Signage app straight from Google Play. InfoBox Basic is for screens and TVs that have an HDMI port but no Android.
What does InfoBox Basic cost?
The device is €59 one-time. You also need the InfoBox software: €9 / screen / month for 1–9 screens and €7 / screen / month for 10 or more. Software is billed annually. Prices exclude VAT.
How does setup work?
Plug the stick into the screen's HDMI port, open the network settings with the Home and Settings buttons on the remote and choose your Wi-Fi network.

Does the screen keep working if the connection drops?
Images, videos and PDF pages keep playing from the device's cache, and schedules keep running offline. Websites only show during an outage if they loaded before it started.

One per screen. Each screen also needs its own software license, and you manage every screen from the same InfoBox Platform.
