Question Wirelessly send file to display monitor?

[dylouis85]

Thanks for reading. I work for a school that displays pertinent information for the students on a monitor that everyone can see. Until now, we've used a simple USB key to display everything. Meaning, I load files and connect the stick, disconnect when I need to change them, etc. I would like to be able to send the sign files (jpgs, etc) to the monitor wirelessly. The monitor is a fujicom rtd298x_tv001. It runs Android (circa 2014) and has wi-fi ability. I can also download apps onto it.

Any idea of a solution, that would allow me to send files to the monitor wirelessly, and control how they are displayed?

Thanks,
Danny

This would be considered a "digital signage" problem. Maybe something on this list can help -- https://www.getapp.com/marketing-software/digital-signage/os/android/

I've got another question about using this monitor, if you're able to help. As it is right now, anyone can access the monitor by simply plugging in a USB mouse or keyboard. We'd obviously like to avoid that. Is there a way to password protect access to the monitor as a whole? Meaning, that it would ask for a password when we turn it on, like any other android or windows device. I did find a password protection setting, but it only affecting access to the file explorer, the machine as a whole is still accessible without a password.

That question is too specific to that model for me to help. I would say this is a time when physical security is appropriate. If you don't want somebody messing with it, then get a security enclosure.
