01
What hardware do we need?
Any Smart TV with a browser, Chromecast, Fire Stick, or Apple TV. If a TV in your shop can load a website, it can run ClearPath Experience. No proprietary players, no display servers, no media-PC hidden behind the lobby plant.
02
Who updates the content on the screens?
Nobody. Each screen reads its own data feed and updates itself live. No daily content uploads, no slideshow tools, no "the lobby screen is showing last week's hours again" phone calls. The data on the screen is the data in the shop, in real time.
03
What about the network — does this hammer my shop's wifi?
No. Each screen pulls a small JSON payload every few seconds and renders it locally. Bandwidth is comparable to one person browsing email. We've run four screens off a residential cable connection without a hiccup.
04
Do we need ClearPath OS to use Experience?
For the full picture, yes — Experience reads from the data ClearPath OS already aggregates from your shop management system. If you're not on OS, we can still run lobby and queue displays from your SMS directly. The counter, floor, and owner office screens get richer the more of the stack you're using.
05
Can we customize what's on each screen?
Yes — within the four-context philosophy. Lobby screens stay customer-friendly, counter screens stay conversation-focused, floor screens stay operationally tight, owner office screens stay KPI-dense. We won't let you put declined-work numbers on the lobby screen, because the customer in chair four shouldn't be reading them.
