MINNEAPOLIS, May 15, 2025 – Carousel Digital Signage, a leading provider of content management software for digital signage, announces expanded compatibility with Sony Professional Displays and Philips Professional TVs powered by Android OS. The Carousel Cloud Player app is available now in the Google Play Store. You can check the app’s compatibility by browsing the Google Play Store from your Android device.

This integration enables organizations to leverage existing Android TV infrastructure for seamless digital signage deployment, eliminating the need for additional hardware. For businesses, schools, or government agencies expanding their networks or deploying new systems where separate monitors and media players were once required, this compatibility reduces costs by turning Sony and Philips displays into all-in-one Carousel media player solutions.

Users can configure the displays as dedicated media players or Carousel Express Players. A dedicated media player unlocks the full suite of Carousel’s capabilities – dynamic content, video playback, and emergency messages – and uses a player license. For organizations prioritizing simplicity and scale, the Carousel Express Player offers a lightweight alternative – it displays a streamlined version of a Carousel channel without consuming a paid license.

“The most effective communications platform is the one that is most immersive,” said Eric Henry, senior vice president of business architecture at Carousel Digital Signage. “Our mission is to ensure the right message reaches the right people at the right place at the right time. Expanding support to Sony Professional Displays and Philips Professional TVs means we’re meeting customers where they are – within their existing Android TV ecosystems.”

Henry emphasized, “Organizations can now activate more screens using existing hardware, getting more value from their technology investments while maintaining a consistent, high-quality user experience.

”By opening the door to the Android ecosystem, Carousel continues to broaden its support for media players, which also includes Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Mac, BrightSign players and SmartTVs such as LG and Bluefin. This latest expansion underscores Carousel’s commitment to versatility and compatibility with the widest range of displays and media players in the industry.
