Digital Signage

Do you…
Have a reception area?
Want to convey an impressive corporate image?
Want to greet your visitors personally with a welcome message?
Want to display messages to your staff?

If any of these apply, you should take a look at Digital Signage!

Digital Signage is becoming increasingly popular in companies as a means of enhancing communications. LCD screens can be used to show dynamic content including video, animations, flash files and text.

Digital Signage allows you to:

  • Convey an impressive corporate image to staff & customers alike
  • Welcome your visitors
  • Communicate important business information
  • Steam live web video events
  • Display staff messages
  • Run corporate videos
  • Show the latest news

A Digital Signage solution has the power to revitalise the way in which companies communicate with staff and visitors. Screen networks installed in headquarters and across branches and offices allow the immediate cascading of important business information and can bring the workforce of a multinational together.

Live web video capabilities mean that a keynote speech from a CEO can be streamed into hundreds or thousands of offices, while its content creation facilities mean a manager can use it to congratulate an employee of the month.

Furthermore, with first impressions ever important, a Digital Signage solution can form the basis of an impressive reception experience, displaying a rolling programme of corporate videos, press cuttings and company achievements to visitors.

High Definition is the newest set of standards for high quality video conferencing. High Definition standards have been defined by the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) as picture resolutions of 720p and 1080i/1080p. High Definition has a refresh rate of 24,25,30,50, 60 frames per second and a resolution image of 1280x720 pixels or 1920x1080 pixels. The higher number of pixels translates into sharper and clearer pictures. The higher refresh rate results in less flickering to the human eye. High Definition uses the progressive scan format rather than interlacing, treating the entire video image as one frame and does not suffer from jagged edges in the picture.
