DARSHAN

Deployment: Cloud · On-Prem · Air-Gapped

Overview

Functional · Signage System

The communication endpoint that turns system events into visible action.

DARSHAN runs on the full Hexmon foundation — compute, storage, orchestration, trust, DNS, secure networking, monitoring, and identity.

DARSHAN manages secure digital signage, notices, emergency broadcasts, screen schedules, proof-of-play, offline playback, and controlled communication across locations and display networks.

DARSHAN gives your ecosystem a secure signage, scheduling, and proof-of-play layer.

The problem

No Centralized Screen Control

Screen networks need controlled management from one platform.

Manual Content Updates

Teams need scheduling, approval, and publishing workflows.

Weak Playback Reliability

Critical displays need offline-ready content playback.

No Proof-of-Play

Teams need evidence of what played, where, and when.

Darshan Architecture

Start / Communication Boundary

Define the controlled signage perimeter for screens, users, locations, devices, and operational messages.

HexCloud & HexCluster Runtime

Run DARSHAN services on private compute, controlled runtime layers, and secure infrastructure. Connection: HexCloud · HexCluster Private compute foundation and runtime hosting DARSHAN services, admin console, publishing workflows, and device communication.

Content Workspace & Admin Console

Manage signage content, screen groups, campaigns, device settings, and operational communication workflows.

Media Asset & Template Setup

Upload media, create layouts, define templates, and organize assets for controlled display networks. Connection: HexVault Secure storage for media assets, templates, snapshots, proof-of-play records, screenshots, and reports.

Approval, RBAC & Governance

Route content through role-based access, review stages, approval rules, and publishing governance. Connection: HexIdentity Identity, RBAC, permissions, approval roles, admin access, and publishing governance.

Schedule, Targeting & Emergency Rules

Define playback schedules, screen groups, locations, recurrence rules, and emergency overrides.

Secure Publish Snapshot

Create a versioned, approved publish package for controlled distribution to signage players. Connection: HexTrust Trust layer for service certificates, secure device identity, and encrypted signage communication.

Player / Device Sync

Synchronize approved content, rules, commands, and refresh instructions to signage devices. Connection: HexDNS · HexShield Private discovery and encrypted overlay fabric protecting device sync, signage traffic, and site-to-site communication.

Offline Cache & Local Playback

Store approved content locally so screens keep playing even during low or no connectivity.

Proof-of-Play & Evidence Capture

Capture playback logs, screenshots, timestamps, and evidence for reporting and accountability.

Device Health, Audit & Monitoring

Track player status, playback behavior, failures, logs, device health, and audit activity. Connection: HexPulse Monitoring for device health, playback status, logs, alerts, failures, and operational visibility.

Response, Reporting & VYRA Event Integration

Convert system events, approved notices, and VYRA-triggered alerts into visible operational communication. Connection: VYRA AI intelligence layer that triggers DARSHAN alerts, safety notices, incident messages, and operational instructions.
