The Oohdesk CMS player for Windows OS is considered one of the most stable and reliable players in the industry. This is confirmed by its deployment across numerous advertising networks (our players manage advertising screens in most major airports in Russia).

We have a powerful system for monitoring potential issues, which allows us to quickly release and automatically update application versions.

Also, our Windows application has the best performance metrics in the industry (Seen better performance? Let us know — we will pay for the information). When playing FullHD video on Intel Atom class computers, CPU usage does not exceed 5%. When playing video and HTML simultaneously, CPU usage is 10-15%. This allows using the oldest and cheapest hardware as players while achieving fantastic functionality and performance. Oohdesk CMS solves 95% of all conceivable use cases.
