1. An electronic display assembly for providing proof of play information comprising:
an electronic display configured to display images, including static content items, wherein each said static content items comprises a single one of the images;
a media player;
a unit controller comprising one or more electronic storage device and one or more processors, wherein said unit controller is electronically interposed between the media player and the electronic display, wherein said unit controller comprises a proof of play module configured to record data transmitted from the media player to the electronic display for display, consecutively generate a plurality of consistent CRC codes for each of the static content items, and determine duration of play information for the static content items of the data by identifying a first time a CRC code of the plurality of consistent CRC codes is generated for the static content item and a last time the CRC code of the plurality of consistent CRC codes is generated for the static content item in a particular instance of display for the static content item, said last time the CRC code of the plurality of consistent CRC codes is generated for the static content item occurring immediately prior to generation of a different CRC code of the plurality of consistent CRC codes for a different one of the static content items; and
a network connectivity device configured to transmit the CRC code from the unit controller to a database remote from the electronic display assembly.
