With the price of flat panel monitors decreasing in price every year, it's no surprise that business owners are becoming more interested in how Digital Signage can better showcase their business. Lifeless and static photo signage is becoming a thing of the past

What is Digital Signage?

Digital signage is, as the name suggests, either a flat panel TV or projection system that is used to display useful information in the form of photos, live or prerecorded video, web content, animated text or powerpoint presentations. Digital Signage can be used for Shop displays, cafe menu boards, information kiosks, factory status displays, photo gallery displays for show rooms, powerpoint presentations for trade shows, message boards for schools and businesses. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

What the advantages?

With signage that is both eye catching and infinitely changeable, the advantages of using commercial grade flat panel monitors now far outweigh the cost and inconvenience of changing regular forms of signage. Business owners can now choose to customise the displays as often as they like to reflect changes in their business and/or promote particular goods and services at different times of the day.

Simple to setup and even easier to use.

Automation of these displays becomes a breeze and this can be easily setup and modified by the user. Each display has an option of housing an embedded PC within the panel, that is the display has it's own built in computer that drives the display and it needs no other equipment to operate. Ideally these displays are also connected to the IT network at the business premises. Other computers, with the correct permissions, anywhere in the world can change what is being displayed on one or all digital signage panels connected to the IT network. Connect Multimedia can design a system, install the IT infrastructure required, install the digital signage panels, provide staff training and even help with professional graphic design and copy material to display on your system.

Where is it currently being used?

Real estate agents in the past have had to change static photos of their property portfolio on a daily basis. Now digital signage is a much more cost effective and impressive shop front display which can show multiple photos and even video footage of a variety of properties. Another great example would be for a cafe menu board/s. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner menu could be setup to appear at appropriate times without any action required from the staff of business owner. Schedules can also be set to automatically power up the display in the morning and switch off in the afternoon or night.
