You can have as many monitors as you need.

Xandadeck uses scalable technologies that can support tens of thousands of monitors under a single Xandadeck account. Really!!!

Absolutely not!

Xandadeck was designed from scratch so that anyone can use it. Forget the mumbo-jumbo tech-stuff. The service is really easy to use and you can order Xandabox that are really plug-and-play. Really. 

Once you get your Xandabox installed, you just log into https://app.Xandadeck.com and manage them all. So simple.

Here are the minimum requirements for Xandadeck:

• Xandadeck is an online service, so you need an Internet connection for signing in and managing your monitors yourself.
• A Xandadeck-supported playback device is required for each monitor. We currently support the following options:

• our very own Xandabox (recommended), comes free with our Annual Plan
• a Raspberry Pi (preferably version 4), which you buy yourself and can setup yourself using this guide
• Internet connectivity for the Xandabox devices installed, usually wireless (WiFi) or wired (LAN).

Remember: Xandadeck is completely FREE for one monitor! So you can easily check it out and see if it suits you!

Here are 5 reasons why:

1. Xandadeck automates the playback process . It can turn the TV on (and off), change the channel to the proper HDMI input and make sure everything goes smoothly without glitches.
2. You can continuously update content over the Internet without using USB sticks or DVD discs. And you can do it easily for all your monitors.
3. Xandadeck provides a scheduling feature. You can setup your monitors to show different things at different times, combined with powering off your monitor to save power.
4. You can use a computer monitor, which is much cheaper than a regular TV set (let alone a Smart TV).
5. Smart TVs cannot show a composition of different media files. With Xandadeck, you can set your monitor to concurrently show a combination of video, photos, websites, widgets, and other supported media we will be adding in the future.

It is almost certain that we could write more reasons why, but we would bore you.

Xandadeck needs a device that will handle the playback of your media onto your monitor. We designed our own plug-and-play device, which we call the “Xandabox”.

With the “Xandabox” you get:

• A Raspberry Pi 4 mini-computer, including a Metallic Raspberry Pi 4 Case and the Official Power supply USB-C.
• A 1m-long micro-HDMI to HDMI cable, for connecting the Xandabox to your TV/monitor.
• A 16 GB SD-card (Class 10), pre-loaded with Xandadeck software and pre-configured to be plug-and-play.

Get ALL the Xandaboxs for Free!

Xandabox is a simple and cost-effective solution for everyone. Besides, we give you for FREE* ALL the Xandabox you need for ALL your monitors with anannual subscription! Alternatively, you can buy a Xandabox for just 61,000 naira only.

Xandadeck can display a composite layout of playlists and standalone content containing:

• Videos files, which you upload to Xandadeck from your computer
• Videos from YouTube
• Live Video Streams from YouTube, other popular video sites, and customer video sources (HLS, IP streamers, cams, etc)
• Images, with editable menu boards, etc
• PDF Files
• PowerPoint files, which get converted seamlessly to videos, retaining all transitions and animations
• Video from any HDMI source (you will need an IP Video Streamer for that)
• Online web pages (on the Internet or in the LAN)
• Widgets, a collection of ready to use components, including Scrolling Texts (ticker), Rich Text Editor, RSS Feed, Weather Info, and many others.
• Audio files from your computer or YouTube as well as Audio Stream
• Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel files as well as PDF files
• Audio files
• Audio stream
• Audio from YouTube videos
• Microsoft Word and Excel files 
• Microsoft PowerPoint files (both video and imported as slides)

You can upload whatever video, audio or image files you want to Xandadeck and use them.

In the future, we are planning to include more exotic stuff. Stay tuned.
