PupCast: Smart Digital Signage for Apple TV

Transform your Apple TVs into powerful, dynamic digital signage players with PupCast. Display looping videos and photos on any screen, with content you control from anywhere.

Key Features:

•Reliable Looping Playback: PupCast continuously loops your curated videos and photos for uninterrupted engagement, making it perfect for retail displays, lobbies, and event spaces.
•Scalable Deployment: For multi-screen setups, the playlist URL can be deployed to all your Apple TVs at once using Apple's device management solutions, ensuring brand and content consistency with zero per-device setup.
•Intelligent Caching: Media is cached locally on each Apple TV, ensuring smooth playback even with network fluctuations and reducing bandwidth usage.
•Dynamic Event Triggers: Instantly display special promotional videos or event-specific content by sending simple UDP network commands. Perfect for timely announcements and campaigns.
