Standards
The ITU published a whitepaper in which SMIL is cited as "a key standard for the digital signage industry," and that SMIL "is increasingly supported by leading digital signage solution providers." It is reported that SMIL players are deployed for nearly 100,000 screens in year 2011, and a single software maker has won three major projects each deploying more than 1,000 SMIL players in the same period.
POPAI has released several digital signage standards to promote "interoperability between different providers". The objective of these standards documents is to establish a foundation of performance and behavior that all digital signage systems can follow. The current set of standards published by POPAI are:
- "Screen-Media Formats" specifies the file formats that digital signage systems should support.
- "POPAI Digital Signage Device RS-232 Standards"
- "POPAI Digital Signage Playlog Standards V 1.1"
- "Digital Control Commands"
- "Industry Standards of Digital Signage Terms"

Famous quotes containing the word standards:
“The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He’s got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won’t be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That’s all there is to it.”
—Clark Gable (1901–1960)
“If one doesn’t know one’s own country, one doesn’t have standards for foreign countries.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The standards of His Majesty’s taste made all those ladies who aspired to his favour, and who were near the Statutable size, strain and swell themselves, like the frogs in the fable, to rival and bulk and dignity of the ox. Some succeeded, and others burst.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
