The Essentials
Built for every business
All the Features You Expect from Digital Signage Software
Imagine Digital Signage covers the essentials every screen network needs, whatever your industry.
Manage your screens remotely, from any device
Upload, schedule, and publish content from your desktop or phone, whether you're at your desk or between stores, and check the status of every screen from the same dashboard.
Any screen, any size, any resolution
Imagine plays on landscape and portrait screens as well as custom resolutions, so one account can run a menu board, a shop window, and a narrow stretch display along a shelf.
All media formats accepted
Mix images, videos, PDFs, websites, and widgets in a single playlist, with smooth transitions from one item to the next.
Offline playback
If the internet drops, your screens carry on playing. Content and widgets are downloaded to each player, so the playlist keeps running and picks up any changes once you're back online.

Digital signage FAQs for South African businesses
Straight answers on pricing, compatible screens, offline playback and local support - everything to know before your first screen goes live.
Digital signage is the use of digital screens (LED or LCD) in any industry to display content such as adverts, menus, announcements and live updates. Managed through software, it allows businesses of any size from anywhere to centrally and remotely control what appears on each screen and when, keeping information relevant and easy to update across one or multiple locations.
Imagine costs R150 per screen per month, including all features, unlimited user accounts and future software updates and upgrades. You only pay for the screens you use, and you can add more to your account as your business grows.
If you would like to try it first, our free plan lets you use one screen with basic features for as long as you like.
In many cases, yes. If your television runs Android TV, you can install the Imagine Android Player and connect it directly to your account. If it does not, an affordable Android media player can turn almost any compatible television into a fully managed digital signage display. If you have an existing LG commercial screen, you can you use our Imagine LG webOS version. If you are unsure whether your existing TV is compatible, contact us and we will be happy to advise you before you purchase any additional hardware.
Imagine supports images, videos, PDFs, Canva designs and web content. You can also add widgets such as news, weather, countdowns and world clocks. Combine these in playlists and display them on portrait, landscape or custom-sized screens.
If the internet connection drops, your screen does not suddenly go blank. Images and videos that have already been published are stored locally on the player, so the existing playlist can continue playing while the device is offline.
During the interruption, the screen will not be able to download new media, receive schedule changes, send current monitoring information, or retrieve fresh data for connected websites and widgets. Those items may continue showing their most recently downloaded information, depending on the widget.
Once the connection returns, the player reconnects to Imagine, checks for changes, and downloads anything new that has been published.
