DisplayPortia
DisplayPortia is an open‑source software platform designed for the configuration, control, and monitoring of digital display networks. It was first released in November 2018 by a team of developers at the University of Techville as a lightweight alternative to commercial digital signage solutions. The project’s architecture follows a client‑server model: a central DisplayPortia server manages content, scheduling, and device status, while client modules run on edge devices such as embedded Linux players or Windows terminals that render the content streams.
Core functionality of DisplayPortia includes a web‑based dashboard for content management, support for multiple display protocols
DisplayPortia has been adopted by several municipalities and educational institutions that require scalable, cost‑effective signage solutions.
Because it remains free of licensing fees and supports modular extensions, DisplayPortia has cultivated a community
