• Microsoft .net 4.8 framework or newer

You can use the system from any web browser – like Firefox, Apple Safari, and Chrome web browser. We support Google Chrome as a browser, or our Kiosk browser, and recommend using one of those two.

IMPORTANT – we strongly recommend using professional hardware/digital signs that are made to be used for 24/7 usage, ex. Philips 10BDL4551T or IAdea XDS-1078 due to security reasons. These devices also support PoE, scheduled power on/off (only Philips), and MDM. 

We recommend and support professional devices for our displays like:

IAdea (XDS-1078, XDS-1088, or WRP-1000)

Philips Display (10BDL3051T, 10BDL4151T or 10BDL4551T) with the newest firmware update.

When using Android devices, please note that version 4.4 and up is supported. Older versions of Android are not supported.

The default designs are validated to be used with the following devices:

• Samsung Tab
  • 3
  • 4
  • A
• Philips Display 
  • 10BDL3051T
  • 10BDL4151T
  • 10BDL4551T

For the Meeting activity and Room availability overviews

Pronestor recommends using a Smart TV with an updated browser and preferably a demo mode. Brands with such technical capabilities are among others LG and Samsung. LG carries many models which have these capabilities, we can recommend the LG 49 UN7100 (49 inches) and the LG 75 UN71(75 inches).
