which has limited LAN connectivity options. It can be used in the Digital Signage simple
scenarios.

contains strong engine and full identical software as FrameXX HOME/PRO, the only
difference is in the missing display. The FrameXX SIGN-3 can be connected to any display
device with an HDMI input (up to 4K video resolution). It is mostly used in the Digital
Signage industry, however it can also be connected to large flat TV devices at home.
