Digital signage: flash or html5?

Currently, I am entrusted with making several digital signs that will display the agenda for the event in table format, as well as some charts of the header and footer. I am trying to decide to use html5 or flash, however I do not have much experience with digital signage, so I was hoping for some input. My main problem is how html5 will scale vs flash on different screen sizes. Thank!

I work in a company with digital signage, and there are many things to consider.

  • What will your digital advertising signs reproduce? If it is only Windows, will you work in full screen Chrome or in IE? What does this browser support compared to the features you want to offer in your advertising signs? If you need it to work across multiple platforms, would HTML be the best way? Especially on tablet devices.

  • Will you need to support custom fonts? I know that there are many HTML font services, but we need to constantly use branded fonts, and they cannot be found on the Internet.

  • HTML gives you more layout engine features than flash, so this will be a big benefit.

I also work for digital signage and have created many projects in both Flash and HTML5, and I will always work with HTML5. Flash support is not as strong as it used to be, and you can do everything in HTML5, which you could do in Flash. HTML scaling is not a big deal if you use modern HTML design and code pages using responsive web design.
