Build your own dedicated Video Player with a TV and an Android PC-on-a-stick

Videos are a great way to reach out to your customers. Whether it's a funky advertisement for your latest product or a presentation for a social cause, videos attract more viewers than any other type of media. There was a time when video advertising was considered out of reach for most people. The high initial investment, along with configuration and maintenance issues, deterred the common businessman from trying it out.

However, it’s quite interesting to note that entrepreneurs with limited budgets can also deploy video kiosks without burning a hole in their pockets. Kiosk video players provide businesses with endless possibilities to engage with their customers.
