Stays on, all day
The MassCasts player holds the screen awake, so it never drops into standby mid-morning.
Keeps playing offline
Content is cached on the player, so a network drop or a reboot during one does not blank the screen.
Recovers by itself
After a power cut or network outage the player restarts the app and reconnects without anyone touching it.
Digital signage player questions
What is a digital signage player?
A digital signage player is the small computer that shows your signage content on a screen. It can be a stick or box plugged into the screen's HDMI port, or it can be built into the screen itself, as it is in an Android signage display. With MassCasts, the player runs the MassCasts app, which downloads your playlists and schedules and keeps playing them, even if the network drops.
Do I need a media player with an Android signage display?
No. The iiyama ProLite displays on this page run Android 14, and MassCasts needs Android 8.0 or newer, so the MassCasts app installs on the screen itself. The only cables are power and, if you want it wired, a network cable.
Can I use the TVs I already have?
Yes. Any TV or monitor with an HDMI port can become a MassCasts screen with a player stick. A smart TV's own browser can show MassCasts too, but most cannot start by themselves after a power cut or stay awake, so a stick is better for a permanent screen.
Does the Allsee standalone Android media player work with MassCasts?
No. The Allsee standalone Android media player (PPHD9) runs Android 7.1, and the MassCasts app needs Android 8.0 or newer. The standalone version also has no network connection unless it is upgraded, so it is designed for content loaded from a USB stick rather than managed online.
Do I need a Mass Coms subscription to use MassCasts?
No. MassCasts works on its own at £99.00 per screen per year, billed annually by Mass Coms, and one licence is free when you book 3 or more screens. If you already use Mass Coms or MassVisit, your screens sit alongside them.
How do I connect a screen to MassCasts?
Open the MassCasts player app on the screen or stick and it shows a 6-digit code. In the MassCasts dashboard go to Screens, Pair a screen, type the code, name the screen and pick a playlist. From then on the screen starts the app by itself after every restart.
