Media players Hardware Hardware-based digital signage media players (or media appliances) are network-managed solid-state devices designed to deliver high quality media playback. Low-end hardware player are equivalent to DVD players in video performance, and offer the added function of network manageability. High-end hardware players often feature 1080p hardware-based video decoding and support for multi-zone and multi-layer screen layout. Hardware-based media players often ingest control scripts in the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) format. Many digital signage systems simply use thin clients for the player hardware. This offers some benefits in terms of flexibility and easier software development.

Most software player suits build upon already existing multimedia frameworks such as DirectShow, Media Foundation and QuickTime, which means that they can be extended with media codecs that they don't support from the beginning. Video resolution and playback performance are mostly limited by the hardware and video codecs available on the particular computer that runs the player software. All software players in this list supports at least 1080p with good enough hardware.
