Our software allows you to deliver your digital signage message to any TV or display simply and professionally. Individually control each screen or control as groups from cloud or locally stored CMS.

UCView also comes complete with its own integrated IPTV platform, allowing you to entertain as well as inform your audience.

UCView offers the necessary tools and functionality to efficiently design, distribute, and monitor digital signage content. The solution offers built-in content integration with over 120 apps that support all popular media formats. Users can design full-featured layouts using drag-and-drop functionality, as well as rotate, resize and crop sections. The Live TV feature and HDMI capture card allows users to connect a cable or satellite for capturing HD video content. The advanced playlist functions enable media lists to be played in sequential or shuffled orders for example, sequential campaigns, cyclic ads, or one-time ads.

Flexible ad scheduling enables users to program ads by location or player, time, period, tags, rules, and more. Digital signage GPS triggers specific ads by geographical location which can be used within any type of transportation vehicle. Organizations can also set up touch screen kiosks to facilitate a customer’s access to wayfinding maps, class schedules, directories, news, and more. Additional UCView features include real-time emergency messages, analytics and reporting, maintenance scheduling, media RSS, and an audit trail for security.

    Pixel perfect content delivered to my users. The ability to use their development for custom solutions. And of course, happy clients.
    The interface is easy once you understand the basics or logic. Don't let the interface throw you off. The people of this company are development powerhouses. They have the best support and are always listening to interface changes. The technology is solid -too solid.

    Pros

    They have their own creative team that constantly tests new technology with emerging ways of creating and delivering content. By joining forces, they are quickly able to adapt to just any change in content. They truly back of what people enjoy most about signage, the content. And it's scalable, super important -whether you are a smaller company managing your own or a larger company having their content managing it from them. It is an enjoyable company to work with as well.

    As an integrator we checked multiple software for operating and monitoring digital signage. Put against top competitors, UcView is the clear top choice. The UI is super friendly and easy to operate, processes are intuitive and logic is just right for smooth operations.

    Pros

    Robust system, agile, configurable, easily scalable, smooth operations and monitoring, great technical support and developer support.

    Cons

    After using the software for several years, we can’t say we have a least favorite. Seriously, none!

    I have been using UCView and working with their team for a little over 7 years, applying the software to a variety of spaces including room sign communications, elevator messaging, lobby video wall systems etc. People come to me with a variety of ideas that can seem outside the box or unorthodox in the digital signage world. UCView have been extremely important in this process, as they are interested in bringing a realistic perspective as well as throwing out alternative options that may work for the project no matter what it may be or how outlandish the idea may seem. They continue to show a willingness to go above and beyond in this phase, and will stick by their assertions when the time comes to bring one of these to fruition; a quality that is certainly fleeting by comparison nowadays.

    Pros

    Once you get used to the unique and easy to understand workflow, any changes made or even sudden content requests needed to be pushed to a location for an event can be completed in 5 minutes. Those familiar with other platforms will know that this used to be a confusing, time consuming task that often required a correspondence with customer support. UCView has a platform that is transparent in comparison; displays are arranged by location and can be grouped along with the content they are showing, which also gives credence to the fact that it can also be scaled as much as needed no matter the size of the enterprise.

    Cons

    As I mentioned in the title, the team at UCView are constantly working on the software development to cover the platforms that appeal to it's customers. Overall this is good, but it also means that the latest software packages can have unforeseen issues that need to be patched. This can be avoided easily by simply sticking with the versions that have worked in the past, but being the type that likes to experiment with the 'latest and greatest', I come across these once and a while. I don't have anything bad to say about the software if it's used properly; so I'll also turn a con into a pro and say that I would rather see new versions come out as it just solidifies one's confidence that they are still pushing the limits and finding new uses for the platform versus stagnating and not moving at all. It shows that they are not satisfied with 'good enough' like some of the platforms I have used prior to UCView.

    We tried a few different digital display systems over the past couple of years. A few got close to serving our needs, but each missed one or more key features ... until we discovered UCView.

    As a charitable non-profit organization, we offer 3-25 day learning programs, in a group setting on our residential campus, related to personal and professional development. We now use UCView exclusively for our digital displays, including an information screen (image and video gallery; donor appreciation wall; time, date and weather; text scroll announcements) and a digital rack card display (replacement for paper rack cards used to market our programs).

    To create the digital rack card display we used UCView's Microsite feature, which allowed us to incorporate images, video, interactive text and more - basically, a custom web page we developed using Adobe Muse - on a large format touchscreen powered by a UCView VM45 player. We've just gone live with the touchscreen display and our visitors and program participants are finding it highly engaging. They love it! It's prompted strong interest in some of our new programs, and we're sure that increased registrations will soon follow.

    From design to development to implementation to on-going management, the UCView admin portal has served us well - it's well-organized and effective. Overall, we have found the app to be feature-rich and solid. And throughout our trial period, proof-of-concept testing and implementation, the UCView team has delivered outstanding support.

    In short, we love the product and our experience has been great!
