Introduction
FrontFace is a powerful, stable, flexible, and easy-to-use digital signage and kiosk software solution. FrontFace can be used independently of the operating system (Windows, Linux, Android) and can be operated in a wide variety of installation forms and environments. In addition to an all-in-one mode (“standalone solution”), FrontFace primarily supports on-premises operation on the local network (both with standalone players and with distributed, light-weight players managed via a central server) as well as operation in the FrontFace Cloud – depending on the individual requirements of the user.
The FrontFace Assistant, as a Windows desktop application, provides a convenient interface for managing players, content, and display control. The FrontFace Player App is used to display content on screens and is available for Windows, Android, and Linux, as well as for direct execution in modern browsers.
With FrontFace, it is possible to implement non-interactive playlists (sequences of screen pages), interactive touch menus (hierarchical menus for navigating multimedia content), and kiosk browsers.
Important Note on the BETA Version:
FrontFace 5 is a completely new development and is based on an entirely new, modern player architecture. The current version may still contain errors and is not yet complete regarding the features provided.
In particular, the following features are (currently) NOT available:
- Interactive features (Touch Menus)
- Plugins (e.g., Calendar, etc.)
- Distributed on-premises installation and WASM Player (for direct execution in the browser)
- FrontFace Cloud Publishing
- Convert or open a FrontFace 4 project (will be supported in the future!)
Important: Please simply skip the “Activation” step when setting up the FrontFace Player App.
