<p>Redbox deployed a fleet of digital video signage displays on their kiosks <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20211202005234/en/Redbox-Deploying-Digital-Video-Signage-on-an-Expected-4000-Kiosks-Through-Partnership-With-Velocity-MSC-Expanding-Promotional-Capabilities">back in 2021</a>. These displays run Android and were used to run video advertisements for primarily TikTok. As of 2025, all kiosks no longer have an internet connection. As a result, these display units will fail to display anything, staying black forever. For this reason, many stores have began to unplug them.</p>

These displays run Android and were used to run video advertisements for primarily TikTok. As of 2025, all kiosks no longer have an internet connection. As a result, these display units will fail to display anything, staying black forever. For this reason, many stores have unplugged them.</p>
<h1>Hardware</h1>
<p>These displays are housed in a custom, metal box. The back and front of the display unit are secured using the same Camlock-type locks as the main kiosk door uses. It's unknown if it's the exact key as the kiosk itself. Both lock cylinders are keyed for A keys.</p>
<p>Internally, these signs use displays manufactured by Videri. They are model number VDS-30, hosting a 32 inch display. This display is a self-contained unit and therefore has no IO, only accepting power via a proprietary connector. Due to this, there is no way to utilize the display unit as a monitor or TV without hardware modifications.</p>
