Signs & Software

Building a digital sign network has never been easier. Whether you are setting up a standalone RedPost/Sign, our 19" original; our handy Sign/Kit, that ranges from a 22" to a 47" LCD; creating a kiosk with our RedPost/Touch; plugging a Fit PC2 into an existing monitor or television; or even building a Sign on anything that runs Firefox (or a combination thereof) RedPost can help you build a more flexible (and affordable) sign network, reaching your audience with your message. And they all connect to our easy-to-use, web-based software.

Do-It-Yourself

You can buy one of our Signs, but anything that runs Firefox can be a Sign. Have an old Mac or PC laying around? Got an LCD display (or *gasp* a CRT)? You’ve got a Sign.

Firefox is available in over 40 languages for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Full system requirements are available here, but generally you need a computer that has:

  • Windows 98 or later, MacOS X 10.2.x or later, or Linux kernel 2.2.14 or later
  • 256 MB memory or greater
  • 1 GB of storage (hard drive or flash-based) or greater

Multimedia functions like YouTube videos, Adobe Flash, QuickTime, etc. will add to the hardware requirements.


Are you the technologically adventurous type?

Here's a little secret: anything that runs Firefox can be turned into a Sign. Have an old computer or laptop lying around? You're halfway there. We have D.I.Y. instructions ready for you.

Or, for the Linux-heads out there, think about installing Wicker: the open-source OS that runs on the RedPost/Sign and fit-PC2.

RSS. Video. Flash. Digital photographs. Graphics. Flickr. Web sites. Weather forecast provided by Weather.gov. These are just some of the posters you can create in just a few simple clicks. You can always design your own simple poster from right inside RedPost, but we know you have your own content ready to go. Why jump through hoops? Upload your content and sent it to all your Signs in seconds.
