Abstract
Technologies are provided for multi-redundant digital signage. A video server computer connected to one or more digital displays is configured to receive one or more videos and content, such as an image or a video, from a content server. A video player application executes on the video server computer to display the video received from the content server on the digital displays. An operating system executing on the video server computer is also configured to present the content as a desktop background. If execution of the video player application fails, the desktop background is presented, thereby displaying the content received from the content server. Additionally, the content may be stored in a non-volatile memory of the one or more digital displays. If a video signal from the video server computer is lost, the digital displays may present the content automatically or in response to a manual user input.
