Cheap signage options at DVinfo.net

I have a client who wants to loop a 5 min program (photos only...I haven't created the piece yet so still haven't decided if i do a HD video or a keynote/powerpoint presentation). He wants these on 2 stations at retail outlets for display to public. No fancy 72 inch monitors , just table top displays i'm thinking.

Anyway, looking for options for media...whether load master digital vid file on to HD of a local laptop/PC, using BRay disc in local machines or maybe even using Apple TVs as players with a centralized PC controlling them via iTunes(possible, right). Low budget, just really looking for media delivery options that can meet a low budget project.

Appreciate any help...thanks. FWIW, i would be editing vid on FCP7. Can get a BRay external drive w/o problem.

Hi Did you ever get this sorted?

You could try: The world's most popular FREE Digital Signage platform

It's cloud based, so internet connection required, but you get total remote control. The host machine just needs to be a simple computer (NetTop) and a screen.

I have these on all our construction sites showing safety videos and other company messages, totally manageable from my office including re-starting machines that have hung ect...
