info-beamer

info-beamer is a purpose-built digital signage platform focused on reliable, high-performance playback on Raspberry Pi hardware and cloud-managed fleets; developed and operated by inlua GmbH & Co. KG, it emphasizes hardware-accelerated 4K/HEVC video, synchronized video-wall playback, secure content delivery and a developer-friendly scripting model using Lua. The user interface for the hosted service is pragmatic rather than flashy: a web dashboard exposes device lists, package uploads, scheduling and logs in a clear, utilitarian layout, while local packages and custom players are configured through concise manifests and Lua scripts — this approach keeps the surface simple for routine tasks but rewards technical users who want precise control, making the learning curve steeper for non-developers yet highly productive for integrators. Functionally, info-beamer combines continuous 24/7 playback, dual-display and video-wall synchronization, on-device decoding and hardware acceleration, an extensive REST API with OAuth2 for secure integrations, encrypted content storage, and self-healing device behavior (auto-updates and recovery), plus a powerful package model that lets teams bundle custom overlays, web content and scheduled playlists into reproducible deployments.
