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:
“If one doesn’t know one’s own country, one doesn’t have standards for foreign countries.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“Barbarism is the absence of standards to which appeal can be made.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“Measured by any standard known to science—by horse-power, calories, volts, mass in any shape,—the tension and vibration and volume and so-called progression of society were full a thousand times greater in 1900 than in 1800;Mthe force had doubled ten times over, and the speed, when measured by electrical standards as in telegraphy, approached infinity, and had annihilated both space and time. No law of material movement applied to it.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
