Yodeck Recommendations
Status
Recommended: We recommend these models for all new deployments. They support 4K screen resolution and 4K video decoding and are the most future-proof option.
Recommended(1): This model is recommended for all new deployments for full-screen content only. They support 4K screen resolution, though they need tweaking to support 4K video decoding. In special cases where complex Layouts are required (multiple Apps and Playlists on-screen) or heavy Web Pages with data dashboards are displayed, we recommend using the 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB versions, depending on your needs. The 2GB version fully supports 4K video decoding, while the 4GB version will likely support anything you need.
Fully Supported: These models are fully supported, and we will continue to support them in the future. Keep in mind that these units do not support 4K at all. In special cases where complex Layouts are required (multiple Apps and Playlists on-screen) or heavy Web Pages with data dashboards are displayed, we recommend using the 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB recommended versions shown above.
Single Playlist only: These models are slow but work fine. It would be best to use them only for a single full-screen Playlist without any web pages or Apps.
We recommend against these for new installations.
Single Playlist only(1): These models can currently display full-screen content without any issues. However, there are some limitations since the software image is in Beta.
Read more details about the current limitation.
Not recommended: These 256-512MB units will work but will be sluggish and eventually fail. Use them only for testing and not for production deployments.
Not supported: The Raspberry Pi Pico does not work with Yodeck, and there is no way to make it work.
