Lotto Bayern improves customer experience across 3500 affiliates

Our 4000 screens have a more modern design and our customers love the new look. The LOTTO Bayern digital signage content plays 24/7/365 and the system has been extremely reliable.

Software Requirements

Challenges were to collaborate actively with Samsung to reach a broadcast-quality play out by pushing the SoC screen to the limits while retaining a very high degree of reliability of the on-premises digital signage software system.

  • A 4’000 SCREENS DIGITAL SIGNAGE NETWORK. After two months of intensive field tests, the screens were deployed in less than six months. Undoubtedly, the degree of reliability of Navori software has been measured and validated in extreme situations.
  • RICH CONTENT RENDERING. The project had extremely high requirements which meant maximizing Samsung SoC performances on Navori Digital Signage Software playing HTML, smart content embedded in a multi-layer template with seamless transition from one content to another.
  • REMOTE SCREEN FIRMWARE MAINTENANCE. Therefore, via Navori Content Manager, Lotto Bayern can remotely upgrade the Samsung SSP screen firmware without on-site intervention.
  • ON-PREMISE BACKEND SERVER. For obvious security reasons, the Navori server on-premise digital signage system uses a VPN for the connection between Navori Server and the players, the whole being integrated into the customer’s local network.
  • LOAD BALANCING AND CDN. Given a large number of players and the critical aspect of this deployment, the customer uses several load-balancing servers and an internal CDN for the distribution of content to each of the screens.
