Digital signage is software that is used to convey your
message, information or advertisements to your customers, students
or colleagues. In simplistic terms, digital signage can be a
PowerPoint presentation or you may wish to use a professional digital signage software
package. Your message can then be displayed on an LCD monitor,
large format LCD monitor (57-inch, 65-inch landscape, 65-inch
portrait), large
plasma screen (65-inch, 84-inch, 103-inch), multiple monitors,
video walls, or through a projector onto a projection screen, a
suspended acrylic rear projection screen or onto glass window film
which may be touchscreen. Digital

Please note:
We recommend you run digital signage software on large widescreen
LCD monitors, as plasma screens can be subject to plasma burn, where
still images or a banner can burn the imprint into the screen. However,
some plasma screen manufacturers do include plasma screen protection
to help prevent plasma burn.
Advertisements can also be displayed through a
data/video projector onto an
acrylic rear projection
screen that can be displayed in windows or suspended from the
ceiling. One point to bear in mind, is whether you are
projecting 24/7 or for shorter periods as projector lamps last on
average, 2000 hours, and spare lamps cost in the region of £350,
compared with an average 50,000 hour life of a plasma screen. However, you can purchase an
acrylic rear projection screen and
data/video projector for less than the cost of a 50-inch plasma
screen, with these acrylic screens being available in sizes up to
138-inch diagonal.
Also available, to display your message, are stand-alone digital signs, as shown in the
picture above right, in which you print,
for example, your menu of the day, directly onto the sign. Door
mounted or meeting room window digital signs allow information as to
meeting times and agendas, to be changed as easily as using a
printer. Digital message boards
allow you to display your message, e.g. doctor to see next patient,
next train arriving messages.
Digital signage players
are designed specifically to allow you to run your message 24/7.
You can also buy a complete unit which consists of the
server or
player and digital signage
software. Or you can buy stand-alone
digital signage software.
Distribution systems
that let you distribute your content over CAT5.
