A beautiful, customised Conference Room Display alternative for Apple TV.
Apple TV's Conference Mode leaves your screens sitting blank all day. Billboard fills them with your own images and video. Branding, notices, student work, whatever the room needs. And the second someone wants to present, one tap AirPlay is right there, exactly like before. One flat price, never per screen.
One tool for every screen you run
See it on your screens
One Apple TV, unmistakably yours
The same drifting AirPlay card over your own images and video. Branded, with a clock and notices whenever you want them.
Your best screens shouldn't sit there blank.
Most places lock their Apple TVs into Conference Mode just so people can AirPlay. The catch is a dead screen the rest of the day. Billboard gives you both at once.
Apple's Conference Mode
The same generic screen on every display, all day. Bland, and there's nothing you can change about it.
With Billboard
Your images and video, looking the way you want. And AirPlay still fires the instant someone needs it.
Conference Mode has a way of trapping you
It looks simple enough until something goes wrong. That's when you find out how little control you actually have.
Updates just stop
Park an Apple TV in Conference Mode and it mostly sits frozen on that one screen. Updates queue up and never land, and your devices quietly drift out of date. Billboard runs as a normal app, so your Apple TVs carry on updating the way they should.
Lose the remote, lose the room
Getting out of Apple's Conference Mode means finding the remote and digging through settings. Misplace it and you're stuck staring at that screen until one turns up. Billboard is run from your browser, so a missing remote never holds a room hostage.
One dropped connection and it falls over
Apple's screen leans hard on the network. Knock the Wi-Fi out and things get ugly fast. Billboard keeps showing the content it already has and quietly catches up once you're back online.
Everything your screens need
AirPlay that still works
Anyone casts to the screen in one tap, exactly like Conference Mode. Lessons and meetings never skip a beat.
Brand every screen
Your colours, welcome messages, event posters, team and student photography. Make every display feel like it's yours.
Manage every screen from one place
Update a gallery once and every Apple TV refreshes on its own within minutes. No USB sticks, no climbing ladders.
Built for IT & MDM
Roll out across hundreds of Apple TVs with Jamf, Mosyle, Intune or Apple Configurator. Enter a code, or push it as managed config through Apple School Manager.

The maths that makes this easy
Most signage charges you per screen. We don't.
Per screen pricing punishes you for growing. Add a display in the library, another in reception, one more in the staff room, and the bill climbs every time. Billboard is one flat price for a band of screens, so a whole site can cost less than a handful of screens elsewhere.
Typical per screen signage
Say A$10 a screen each month. Twenty screens is A$200 a month, and it keeps climbing with every display you add.
Billboard
One flat price covers the whole band. Twenty screens or fifty, the number on the invoice is the same. Easy to budget, easy to approve.
Flat pricing by screens. Never per screen.
Free on one Apple TV. Scale to your whole site for one flat price.
