D-Promos

Digital signage devicesYour screens keep running,
no matter what.

Android TV devices certified for D-Promos: they keep playing even when the internet drops and reboot on their own. Built to work all day, every day — without you having to think about the technical side.

  • Works without internet
  • 24/7
  • Self-reboots
Two channels, one D-Promos

Who will look after the screen? That decides the device.

D-Promos runs on two channels. D-Promos Certified Devices are built for unattended screens: they run on their own all day. Google Play Compatible devices —coming soon— will be any Google-certified Google TV or Android TV with the D-Promos app. Content, dashboard and layouts are the same; what changes is how much the device does without help.

For unattended screens

D-Promos Certified Devices

For the screen nobody watches over.

A D-Promos Certified Device is set up by D-Promos from day one to run unattended: it turns on and off with store hours, comes back on its own after a power outage and gets back up by itself if something hangs.

  • Turns on and off with each location's hours.
  • Comes back to your content on its own after a power outage.
  • If the app hangs or closes, a watchdog brings it back.
  • Nobody can pause your ad with the remote.
  • Updates itself, no one has to touch the device.

Best for chains, franchises, POP displays in third-party stores and any screen without staff nearby.

Coming soon to Google Play

Google Play Compatible

For the screen you already have.

A Google Play Compatible device is any Google-certified Google TV or Android TV where you'll soon be able to install the D-Promos app from Google Play. No hardware to buy: download the app, register the screen and publish.

  • Use the Google TV or Android TV you already have.
  • Same content and layouts as a certified device.
  • Keeps playing without internet.
  • Resumes the video on its own if it freezes.
  • Updates through Google Play, like any app.

Best if you already have a Google TV or Android TV, to try D-Promos as soon as it's available, and for screens with someone nearby who can turn them on.

The differences aren't about quality: they're rules Google Play sets for every app in its store. No store app can reboot the device, open itself from the background or keep the screen on unless someone turns that on. That's why there are two channels.

What a Google TV or Android TV does really well

You already have one, or can get one today

It's an off-the-shelf, Google-certified device. If it's already in your business, there's nothing to buy.

Will install like any app

You'll open Google Play, search for D-Promos and install. No technician, no setup.

Verified updates

New versions arrive through Google Play, reviewed by Google, like any app.

All of D-Promos' content

Same layouts, same dashboard and the same local copy to keep playing without internet.

Certified Devices only

You open the store. The screen is already selling.

A D-Promos Certified Device turns on and off with each location's hours, in its own time zone. Nobody has to come in early to turn it on or remember to turn it off at closing.

  • Each location with its own hours.
  • In each location's time zone.
  • After closing, the screen doesn't stay on all night.
Reliability

Built to never leave you in the dark.

A black screen doesn't sell. Here's what happens when something fails in your store:

Both channels

Internet down? Still selling.

Content is stored on the device and stays on screen. When the network is back, it catches up on its own.

Certified Devices

Power outage? It comes back.

When power returns, the Certified Device goes back to your content without anyone touching it. On a Google TV, depending on the device, someone may need to open the app.

Both channels

Hung? It gets back up.

If the video freezes, the player resumes it, on both channels. On a Certified Device, a separate watchdog also brings the app back if it hangs or closes.

Device types

Box, stick, commercial display or TV. Your call.

Both channels come in all four types. Choose for your space, not for the software: D-Promos looks and works the same on all of them.

Boxes

A compact device that plugs into your screen or monitor over HDMI and hides behind it. Best if you already have screens.

Available as

  • D-Promos Certified
  • Google Play Compatible

Sticks

The size of a USB drive: it plugs straight into the screen's HDMI port, no cables in sight. Best for small spaces and displays.

Available as

  • D-Promos Certified
  • Google Play Compatible

Commercial displays

Business displays with the system built in: no separate box or stick. Best for entrances, windows and menus.

Available as

  • D-Promos Certified
  • Google Play Compatible

TVs

A Google TV or Android TV with the system built in. The most direct way to start. Works with some models from brands like Hisense, Philips, TCL and Sony running Android TV or Google TV.

Available as

  • D-Promos Certified
  • Google Play Compatible
Coming soon to Google Play

Already have a Google TV or Android TV? Soon that's all you'll need.

Very soon you'll be able to download the D-Promos app on Google Play. If your screen is a Google-certified Google TV or Android TV, you won't need to buy anything from us: download it, register the screen in your dashboard and publish.

How it will work

  1. 1You open Google Play on your Google TV or Android TV.
  2. 2You search for "D-Promos" and install the app.
  3. 3You register the code shown on screen and publish.

Good to know before you start

Google Play sets rules for every app in its store. So on this channel:

  • The screen doesn't turn on and off with your hours.
  • After a power outage, on many devices someone has to open the app.
  • To keep it from turning off, turn on "Keep screen on" in the app.
  • The remote's center button pauses content; it resumes after 2 minutes.
  • If the app fully closes, there's no separate watchdog to reopen it.

For many screens that will be plenty. Request early access, and if you later need all of D-Promos, we'll help you take the next step.

Buy or borrow?

Applies to D-Promos Certified Devices. If you already have a Google TV or Android TV, you need neither.

Device loan

Hardware included with your subscription

On qualifying plans, D-Promos provides the hardware while your subscription is active. No upfront equipment investment. Ideal for getting started fast.

Direct purchase

Buy the device outright

You own the device. Useful if you prefer not to depend on a loan arrangement or if you already have an established chain with volume.

Frequently asked questions about hardware

1

Can I use my own screens and just install the stick?

Yes. If your monitors have HDMI input, the Android TV stick turns them into D-Promos screens instantly — no need to replace the monitor.

2

What's included in the device loan?

The device on loan while your subscription is active. If it fails through normal use, we send you a replacement to plug into your screen, at D-Promos' expense.

3

Can I mix my own devices with loaned ones?

Yes. You can have a mix of owned and loaned devices on the same account, all managed from the same dashboard.

4

Does the hardware work without internet?

Yes. All devices have local cache. If the connection drops, they keep displaying the last published content.

5

Does it work with my Hisense, Philips, TCL or Sony TV?

If your TV runs Android TV or Google TV, the D-Promos app will work on many models from brands like Hisense, Philips, TCL and Sony once it is on Google Play (coming soon). For every feature, we will help you choose a D-Promos Certified Device.
