catch21 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I don't know if I'm barking up the wrong tree here but we're having a bit of difficulty getting our digital signage off the ground (as there is next-to-no budget) so I'm wondering about a £30 chromecast dongle. Any good in this application? We have rock-solid wifi and screens with power (and cat 5e) with HDMI sockets all mounted on the wall ready to go. Any thoughts?
catch21 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 I have one, I'll let you know how I get on with it, looking good so far.
free780 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Depends how your WiFi is setup. Whatever device is casting will need to be on the same subnet.
catch21 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 I've configured a separate vlan on the network for chromecast, and linked it over to the n/w with the internet access with a small router that also acts as a DHCP server.
kjadams Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Not tried it myself, but you could try 'Dashboard Cast' from the Google play store. Not sure how configurable it is. You would of course need 1 tablet/phone per screen. What about using a cheap tablet with an hdmi output direct to the screen?

rickjames Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 have you had a go with it yet? Nope, currently our DS requirements are pretty basic. Would like to see if anyone else does use it though, maybe something for the future that we consider.
