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 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)
“As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
