Online documentation and resources for SMIL-compatible signage appliances

Benefits of open standard

Like HTML for the web, W3C SMIL is a set of well defined XML instructions that lets you program for a wide variety of playback devices.

Just as Internet content is rendered consistently on a range of compliant PCs, tablets, and smartphones, SMIL compliance lets you deliver digital signage content across various playback screens and locations.

Used in MMS (multimedia messaging) on smart-phones to convey audio-visual communications, it's also ideal for scheduling digital signage content to provide a standards-based content delivery system. Just like HTML for the web.
