BuzzBlender Technology: Platforms & Digital Signage Architecture

Choosing digital signage software is only part of the decision.

The other part is making sure it works on your existing screens.

BuzzBlender was built to run on the most popular smart TV platforms, commercial displays, media players, and web browsers. This lets businesses use their existing hardware instead of buying expensive proprietary players.

In this guide, we’ll explain every platform BuzzBlender supports, how each technology works, and when to choose one over another.

Cloud-Based Architecture

BuzzBlender is completely cloud-based.

Instead of storing content on USB drives, every screen connects securely to the cloud.

The workflow is simple:

  1. Upload content.
  2. Create playlists.
  3. Schedule campaigns.
  4. Publish remotely.
  5. Every connected screen updates automatically.

This architecture makes it possible to manage one screen or many screens from anywhere.
