Raspberry Pi 3B is a budget-friendly option suitable for basic digital signage tasks such as image slideshows, announcements, and simple content. Raspberry Pi 3B devices may struggle with complex animations or video-heavy content. Tip: Ensure you're using a Class 10 SD card for optimal performance.
Raspberry Pi 4B is a more powerful model ideal for smoother performance and moderate content, including tables, light animation, and social media feeds. Raspberry Pi 4B devices will struggle with animations or video content. Tip: Ensure you're using a Class 10 SD card for optimal performance.
Raspberry Pi 5 is the latest and most capable model, offering improved performance for more demanding signage content. Recommended for most use cases, but it is not recommended for use cases requiring video or animations. Tip: Ensure you're using a Class 10 SD card for optimal performance.
“Compared to many other digital signage platforms on the market, Rise Vision was an easy choice for us to make due to the cloud-based architecture, flexibility in being able to deploy on Windows, Linux, or Raspberry Pi, and a very low cost per display.”

Rise Vision supports the Raspberry Pi 3B, Raspberry Pi 4B, and Raspberry Pi 5 models when used with a Class 10 SD card. Learn more about installing Rise Vision on Raspberry Pi here.
Raspberry Pi computers traditionally cost around $25 USD, but to build a reliable, fully functional digital signage media player, additional hardware components need to be added to an out-of-the-box Raspberry Pi 5 computer:
We recommend purchasing a kit with these components to ensure stable performance and long-term reliability for digital signage. A complete kit helps prevent overheating, ensures consistent power, and provides faster read/write speeds—important for smooth content playback.
Raspberry Pi is a cost-effective option for basic digital signage, but it may not be ideal for high-resolution video, advanced animations, or complex integrations. A more powerful media player, like the Rise Vision Media Player, will be a better fit.
