Support for Samsung SoC is a Milestone

The product roadmap at NordicScreen emphasizes flexibility, scalability, and reducing operational friction for customers. The addition of Samsung SoC support and its inclusion in the official product communication is a direct continuation of that strategy.

A Direct Match Between Software and Hardware Trends

Samsung has led the professional display market for more than a decade, holding the world’s largest installed base of SoC signage devices. Aligning with this dominant platform allows Q-Play software to meet customers exactly where the hardware market is to enable full enterprise level support.

Players Are No Longer a Bottleneck

In traditional setups, media players often dictate software compatibility and longterm durability. By running Nordicscreen directly on Samsung’s embedded platform, deployments become more stable, uniform, and predictable.

Simplified Rollouts at Scale

Organizations with dozens - or even thousands - of screens benefit from shorter deployment timelines, fewer logistics challenges, and standardized configurations across all locations. This solves a pain point I’ve seen repeatedly over the years: scaling signage networks efficiently while keeping maintenance under control.

A Cleaner, More Aesthetic Implementation

Anyone who has worked in the industry knows how important clean installations are especially in retail and hospitality. By eliminating external hardware, Samsung and Nordicscreen deployments produce professionalgrade aesthetics with fewer physical components.

Reduced Hardware Support Burden

For both integrators and end customers, support workload is significantly reduced when there are fewer devices to manage. This allows teams to focus on content and communication strategy rather than hardware troubleshooting.

What This Means for Customers Today

Observing customer expectations and deployment realities in the past, here are the practical benefits this release introduces:

Faster TimetoValue

Screen installation can now happen in minutes rather than hours. For customers operating on tight schedules such as retail openings, event setups, or refurbishment projects this is a decisive advantage.

Greater Network Stability

External players introduce variability. Removing them results in a more stable, homogeneous network, simplifying everything from software updates to onsite support.

Easier Scaling Across Multiple Locations

For chains, franchises, corporate campuses, and logistics environments, the combination of Samsung hardware and Nordicscreen software ensures consistency no matter how many displays are deployed.

FutureReady Architecture

The digital signage industry has been converging on embedded systems with SoC increasing its presence. This integration ensures Nordicscreen customers are not only aligned with modern standards, but also ready for ongoing improvements from Samsung’s SoC roadmap.

The Product Managers take

Having spent the last 10 years immersed in the digital signage world from hardware rollouts to CMS management and solution architecture, I can say with certainty that Nordicscreen’s support for Samsung Smart Signage SoC brings full enterprise support. It is a meaningful evolution that completes the circle when it comes to hardware support.

This release delivers:

• Simple installation

• Lower longterm costs

• High reliability

• Clean implementations

• Faster scaling

• And a more futureproof hardware strategy

With Samsung’s SoC now officially a supported platform for Q-Play digital signage, customers can deploy signage solutions that are both technologically robust and operationally effortless - exactly what the modern digital signage landscape needs.
