Device compatibility
Know what works before you deploy.
Hardware is bought once and lived with for years. This page says what the platform targets and, just as importantly, what has not been verified.
Players and platforms
Playback
- Supported
Android player
The player Layarva deployments are built around. Confirm the specific device model with us before ordering in quantity.
- Supported
Browser player
A stable display URL opened in a modern browser. Useful for a screen driven by a PC or a mini-PC.

There is no Layarva application published for these platforms. A TV of this kind can still be used as a display driven by a supported player.

The kiosk prints through the operating system's default printer, so a printer Windows can print to can generally print a ticket. Confirm your model with us first.

Offline playback with no connection
Content is prepared through offline content export. Management still requires connectivity.
No specific television or player model is listed as supported on this page, because a model is only supported once it has been tested with the current player. If you have hardware in mind, send us the model and we will tell you what we know about it — including when the answer is that we have not tried it.
