Frequently Asked Questions

Anthias is free, open-source digital signage management software built by Screenly, Inc. Screenly is a paid digital signage solution that is better suited for professional digital signage installations with multiple screens. You can learn more about Screenly at the link here. Screenly is a better choice over Anthias if the user wants to manage multiple screens from a single account, cloud-based screen management, enterprise-grade user management, and professional support.

Anthias is the right choice if users are OK with managing each screen individually, are comfortable working with Linux, and do not need support, hosting, or security updates. Users are better suited with the paid digital signage solution Screenly when they have more than one screen, want an "out-of-the-box" ready solution, and need support, cloud hosting, and security updates.

Anthias runs on single-board Raspberry Pi devices and 64-bit, x86-based PCs. Anthias offers disk images that work with Raspberry Pi 1, 2, 3, and 4 models. Disk images for PCs will be supported in the future. In addition to a Raspberry Pi or PC, you will need a physical screen to display your content. This screen can be any screen that accepts HDMI input. Learn more about how to get started on our GitHub page.
