Content that reacts the instant something happens.
HoloQ Player is a dedicated media playback system for always-on signage and interactive displays — bi-directional serial commands, instant, seamless trigger-based scene changes, and real-time status feedback to your control system, built for hardware nobody's watching.
Works with any standard HDMI display — LCD panels, LED screens, touchscreen enclosures · Download Serial Protocol Spec (PDF)
Built for one job, done properly
Not a general-purpose media player adapted for signage — purpose-built for continuous, unattended, trigger-driven playback.
Seamless, gapless playback
No black flash, no stutter between clips — looping or trigger-driven content always looks like one continuous, polished experience.
Interactive jump points
Any moment can become a jump point. A button, sensor, POS event, or operator cue instantly cuts to a different scene, image, or video.
Pause, resume & 4-speed control
Freeze a frame, resume, or run playback at 2.0×, 1.0×, 0.5×, or 0.25× — precise transport control, on every tier.
Mixed video & image content
Build a playlist from video and stills freely, in any order — timing and transitions are handled automatically for both.
Continuous health reporting
A steady heartbeat back to your control system means you always know a display is actually running — not just hoping it is.
Reverse playback & creative effects
Frame-accurate reverse transport for a dynamic, attention-grabbing visual signature — available on Pro.
PROHow it works, in practice
No screens, no menus, nothing for a technician to babysit — set it up once and it just runs.
Prepare a playlist
Your content team builds the sequence, jump points, and cues in HoloQ Author.
Load it once
A simple file transfer to the device — done at setup or whenever content changes.
It powers on and plays
No one presses play. It boots and starts the content automatically, every time.
A controller can cue it live
A button, sensor, POS system, or show-control console sends a byte — it jumps instantly.
Status flows back
On Plus and Pro, the display reports what's playing, so everything stays in sync.
Automate and control your entire signage lineup from one system.
Three tiers, one platform
Pay for the capability a given deployment actually needs — not more.
Reliable looping & interactive signage
The content does the talking — a retail loop with trigger-based variations, a simple wayfinding display, or a menu board.
- Always-on looping playback
- Interactive jump points
- Pause / resume / 4-speed control
Talks back to the rest of your setup
Synchronized lighting or audio cues, a control panel showing exactly what's playing, equipment that needs to stay in lockstep.
- Everything in Basic
- Live status reporting
- Precisely-timed in-clip cues
The full creative toolkit
For deployments where the visual presentation is the centerpiece — premium reveals, flagship brand experiences.
- Everything in Plus
- Frame-accurate reverse playback
- Full transport & speed toolkit
Every tier is also available with a protective enclosure for +$35. See details.
Wherever a screen needs to run itself
Illustrative, not exhaustive — HoloQ Player fits any always-on, trigger-responsive display.
Retail signage
Branded loops, interrupted by staff or POS cues.
Wayfinding
Directional displays synced across screens.
Menu boards
Switch offerings and dayparts on a trigger.
Trade show & events
Attendee-driven demos, gapless transitions.
Museum & exhibits
Interactive stations synced with lighting/audio.
Corporate & lobby
Unattended content that just works, daily.
Interactive kiosks
A button or proximity trigger changes the screen.
Signature installations
Reverse-playback effects for centerpiece displays.
Reliability isn't a feature here — it's the point
Unattended displays live or die by it. Signage that needs babysitting isn't really unattended.
Continuous health reporting
Your control system always has visibility into whether a display is actually running — not just an assumption.
Hardware-level recovery
Even a serious hiccup has a path back to normal operation without a technician on-site — a five-minute self-correction, not a truck roll.
Built for the long haul
Not consumer media player software adapted for signage — purpose-built from the ground up for continuous, professional deployment.
