Maximizing Return On Investment (ROI) from digital signage networks necessitates optimizing screen placement to ensure the largest number of people are exposed to the greatest amount of content. Less understood is the importance of media player positioning. As intricate PC-based IT devices, media players are susceptible to numerous dangers which can significantly affect their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Situating your players at screen in the public area makes them difficult to service and exposes them to multiple environmental hazards, thus lowering their Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). Using extension technology to safely store your media players in a back room ensures your IT investment is protected in an environmentally controlled setting which maintains their MTBF and places them in a location where they can easily be serviced and maintained.
