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.
