Turn any screen into managed digital signage
Relay Video runs on a Raspberry Pi behind any HDMI screen: slideshows, video, live streams and schedules — managed from the same dashboard as your paging system, on the same device pool.
Claim a screen the same way you claim a speaker
Run the installer on a Raspberry Pi, enter the pairing code in your dashboard, and the screen shows up ready to manage. Group screens by building, floor or area — the same "zones" concept audio already uses, relabeled Screen groups.
- One-line install — a screen enrolls itself in under a minute
- Group screens for targeted content and scheduling
- Live status: online, now playing, sync progress, and a fresh screenshot
- Portrait or landscape rotation per screen
- Power schedules turn the HDMI display on and off automatically
Upload once, arrange in seconds
Drop in images and video files, then build slideshows with exact per-slide durations, shuffle, and a default duration for anything you don't customize. Every asset shows how many slideshows and playlists use it before you can delete it.
- Images and video, uploaded straight from the browser
- Per-slide duration overrides, plus a default for the rest
- Shuffle mode for rotating displays
- Storage usage meter with a clear cap per plan
- "Used in N" guard — can't delete an asset that's still on air
Mix slideshows, video, and the open web
A playlist is an ordered rotation of anything: a slideshow, a video file, a YouTube link, or a live HLS, DASH, or RTSP stream. Cap how long a stream plays before the rotation moves on, mute any item, and loop the whole thing automatically.
- Mix slideshows, video files, and URLs in one rotation
- YouTube, HLS, DASH, and RTSP live streams, natively
- Duration caps keep an endless stream from running forever
- Per-item mute, loop the whole playlist, duplicate to iterate fast
The right content, on the right screen, at the right time
Build rules by day and time, target specific screens or groups, and set a priority when rules overlap. Outside any rule, a screen falls back to its own default playlist, then to your logo and clock — never a blank display.
- Day-of-week and time-window rules, per screen or group
- Priority ordering resolves overlapping rules
- Per-screen default playlist for anything unscheduled
- Account fallback card — logo and clock — if nothing else applies
- Push content to a screen instantly, overriding the schedule with a resume
When the alarm sounds, every screen knows
Trigger an emergency alarm anywhere in Relay and every connected screen switches automatically to a full-screen red alert with the reason — no extra step. Screens return to whatever they were showing the moment the alarm is stopped.
- Automatic takeover the instant an alarm starts — no manual push needed
- Full-screen alert with the alarm reason, visible from across the room
- Resumes prior content automatically when the alarm stops
- Toggle per account — on by default, off if you don't want it
Runs on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5
Relay Video is built for the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, with hardware-accelerated 1080p video decode out of the box — no proprietary player, no licensing. One install command and a screen is managed from your dashboard within a minute.
- Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 recommended for smooth 1080p playback
- Runs on Raspberry Pi OS, no desktop environment required
- Offline-first — a network outage never blanks the screen
- Signed over-the-air updates — the same signing chain as Relay Audio
