About

Linutop Kiosk turns a PC or Raspberry Pi into an internet access kiosk or digital signage player. It displays photos, PDFs, videos, music, and web pages in configurable playlists, sourced from a local playlist or folder, Linutop TV server, or USB key. Web kiosk settings include a starting page, website whitelist or blacklist, display options, and password locking. The maker says lock mode restores the initial state on restart. It can run as a web kiosk or signage player, and can switch to signage when nobody is using the kiosk. A remote feature controls screens through a browser on a smartphone, tablet, or PC, and the product is compatible with Linutop.tv for multi-screen management. The Pro installation supports a PC or Raspberry Pi, with Ubuntu-based PC and Raspbian-based Raspberry Pi compatibility described. The listing includes Firefox or Chromium, LibreOffice 6, VLC 3, a PDF viewer, an on-screen keyboard, a VNC client, and remote management. Linutop also offers a free OS version for PC or Raspberry Pi. The Pro installation costs 79.00 EUR per once, excluding VAT, for one installation.
