Abstract

A system and method for remotely monitoring and controlling one or more electronic displays. The electronic display may be in communication with a network connection, which can be used to establish communication with a local area network and/or the internet to transmit reports and/or other data to a remote location. A color light sensor is provided and measures at least one attribute of a watermark that is displayed at least periodically on the electronic display. Operational characteristics of the electronic display may be determined via feedback from the color light sensor. Data from the color light sensor may be used at least to determine proper electronic display operation, to track content runtime, and/or for proof of play purposes.
