Keeping digital signage networks running smoothly should not be a daily headache, whether you are overseeing five sites or fifty. Samsung’s VXT platform makes it easy to manage displays from anywhere. But which version of the platform should you choose?
This guide breaks down the differences between VXT RM STANDARD and VXT RM PRO so you can match the right features to your organisation’s needs without overbuying or underequipping your teams.
Now we explore further.
Samsung VXT Remote Management is a cloud-based solution that gives organisations full control over their digital signage network, no matter how many locations they manage. With VXT, displays can be monitored, configured, and supported remotely, helping teams reduce manual work, improve uptime and avoid unnecessary site visits.
Designed to integrate smoothly into existing environments, VXT Remote Management works alongside your company’s infrastructure while keeping digital signage easy to manage for everyone. Day-to-day display operations—scheduling, turning screens on or off, or switching inputs—can be handled remotely in just a few clicks. Issues can be quickly identified, corrections applied or screens locked down from a central dashboard if something goes wrong.
There are two options to choose from:
Samsung offers two tiers of remote management to suit different needs. Both options give you control over your digital signage network from a single, cloud-based dashboard—but they are designed for varying levels of scale, control and automation.
Here is a clear comparison of the features included in VXT RM STANDARD and VXT RM PRO Series so that you can identify the best fit for your organisation.
| Features included | VXT RM STANDARD (S) | VXT RM PRO (P) |
| Real-time monitoring | Basic device and network status | Live diagnostics with device health insights and issue alerts |
| Remote control | On/off switching, volume, input source | Full control, including brightness, reboot, factory reset and firmware updates |
| Energy management | On/off scheduling | Advanced scheduling, brightness automation and holiday calendars |
| Security features | USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth lock | Adds network port locks, remote control lockout and role-based access control |
| Zero-touch configuration | Not included | Pre-configure devices before deployment—no on-site setup needed |
| Early warning alerts | Not included | Proactive notifications for overheating, disconnection, or abnormal behaviour |
| Reporting & analytics | Not included | Usage logs, fault trends and energy consumption reports |
| User access control | Basic admin settings | Advanced permissions and role-based user management |
The RM S series is well-suited for smaller deployments or organisations that need reliable remote access and control, without advanced automation or analytics.
The RM P series is ideal for enterprise environments where digital signage plays a central role in communications, compliance or customer experience and where scale, security and efficiency are top priorities.
Every signage network is different. The right remote management solution depends on the number of displays you manage, critical uptime and security, and how much time your team can realistically spend on day-to-day oversight.
Here is how to approach the decision.
Choose RM STANDARD Series if your organisation:
✅ Has a limited number of locations or display units
✅ Needs essential control over power, volume and inputs
✅ Wants a simple, cost-effective solution that can be managed with minimal setup
✅ Prefers to keep the configuration and updates manual or handled on-site
It is a solid choice for companies newer to digital signage or managing displays in lower-risk, less complex environments.
Choose RM PRO Series if your organisation:
✅ Manages many displays across multiple locations
✅ Requires greater control over access, configuration and diagnostics
✅ Prioritises energy efficiency, proactive maintenance and consistent performance
✅ Wants to minimise time spent on manual setup or troubleshooting
RM PRO series is handy for teams looking to standardise signage operations across departments or multiple office locations, without sacrificing oversight or security.
One of the key strengths of Samsung VXT Remote Management—whether STANDARD or PRO—is that it is designed for ease of use, without compromising control.
The interface is cloud-based, intuitive and requires less training than other signage software. This means that marketing, facilities, or front-of-house teams can make day-to-day updates, like adjusting content schedules or checking screen status, without needing help from IT.
At the same time, VXT gives IT teams the tools they need to manage everything centrally. From locking down USB ports to controlling access levels, you can enforce policies across every connected display, without visiting each site.
VXT works natively with Samsung digital signage hardware and integrates smoothly into existing network environments. You do not need additional servers or complex configuration to get started. Whether you are managing a handful of displays or a national signage network, setup is fast, remote and scalable.
This feature helps protect sensitive content displayed in environments where screens may be visible from unintended angles. When turned on, Screen Monitoring Lock blocks the live preview on the server and disables remote screen control. Instead of a thumbnail, only a lock image appears. This can be enabled through preset options, the screen settings tab or multi-control. It is a simple way to make sure only the right people can see or control what is being displayed.
As your signage network expands, VXT scales with you. RM STANDARD series provides a solid foundation for smaller deployments, while RM PRO series offers the extra automation and insight needed for high-volume or high-security environments.
Digital signage is a growing part of modern organisations' internal and external communication. But managing screens across multiple sites does not need to be complex or time-consuming.
Samsung VXT Remote Management gives IT teams the visibility, control, and flexibility to support digital signage at any scale. Whether you choose RM STANDARD or RM PRO, you get a secure, cloud-based platform designed to simplify operations and reduce pressure on your team.
Take the time to assess your goals, infrastructure and internal resources. After that choose the option that best matches your roadmap.
