In most cases a device in your Revel Digital account represents the physical hardware, or player, responsible for displaying your digital signage content. A device could be a PC, Android tablet, Smart TV, or even a Bluetooth beacon.

Devices are registered to your account with a registration code presented by the player app when run for the first time.

If the player hardware you are using did not come pre-installed with the Revel Player app you will need to install this first.
