Hardware Setup
Gecko Signage is a cross-platform solution designed to work on almost any hardware. Choosing the right device depends on your specific needs and budget.
Supported Platforms
We provides dedicated player apps for the following platforms:
Raspberry Pi
The most popular and cost-effective choice. We recommend the Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) or Pi 5 for smooth 4K playback.
Android & TV SoC
Install our app directly on your Android-powered Smart TV or external Android media boxes (like Fire TV or Chromecast).
Windows & Linux
Any modern PC can be used as a Gecko Signage player, perfect for high-performance video walls or complex interactive displays.
Basic Connectivity
- Network: Ethernet is highly recommended for reliability, though Wi-Fi is fully supported.
- Power: Use the manufacturer-provided power supply to avoid intermittent reboots.
- Display: Connect via HDMI and set the resolution to "Auto" or the native display resolution.
Environmental Tips
Ensure your hardware has proper ventilation, especially if it's mounted behind a screen or in a small enclosure. Heat is the main cause of hardware failure in signage.
🔌 Auto-Start
Our player apps can be configured to start automatically when the device powers on, ensuring your screens are always active after a power outage.
