There are three common ways to put something on the TVs in a dental, medical or spa office: a waiting-room TV service, a digital signage platform, or a free photo app. Sequence TV is a fourth option: your own photos, in the exact order you choose, with music, on every TV in the office.

Waiting-room TV services
ViewMedica VMcast, Optio TV and ADA TV+ sell a library of professionally produced patient-education videos. If you want ready-made videos explaining procedures, they are built for that. They cost more each month, and the content is theirs rather than your own photos of your practice and your team. Many offices can run both: their videos on one screen, Sequence on the others.
Digital signage
Yodeck and OptiSigns are general signage platforms with scheduling, screen layouts and remote management across many locations. They charge per screen, so the cost grows with every TV. Sequence is simpler and photo-first. It charges per location instead, and music is included.
Free photo apps
Roku Photo Streams and a TV's own USB slideshow are free and fine for one TV at home. In an office, you would set up and update each TV by hand, and the play order is not always guaranteed. Sequence keeps every TV on the same slideshow, in the order you set.
When Sequence is the right fit, and when it isn't
- A good fit: an office that wants its own photos, team introductions, artwork and before-and-after pairs on one or more TVs, with calm music, without paying per screen.
- Not yet a fit: offices that need a Windows computer (a Windows version is planned), Apple TV (not supported yet), or apps from a TV app store today (store listings are in progress).
- Choose a video service instead if what you want is a library of procedure-explainer videos.
- Choose a signage platform instead if you manage screens at many locations from one dashboard or need scheduled layouts.
