Audiovisual Manager of the ESSCA, decided to find a more sophisticated digital signage solution. He used the following criteria for his search :
- it must be sold separately from the player (often imposed by vendor) and make use of existing PC’s
- it must integrate with the existing data-input methods so as not to disrupt the assistants’ workflow
- it must be able to handle multimedia content (video,
images, html, RSS feeds…) - it must be able to broadcast customized messages to targeted groups of screens
Solution
After researching the various digital signage options, the ESSCA group selected Media4Display,which satisfied all of its search criteria.Media4Display gathers all of the textual (HTML) content entered by various assistants and integrates the content in real time into a multimedia sequence controlled by the Audiovisual Manager.
The ESSCA uses Media4Display to control all of its SIPs (Student Information Points), including around 15 screens in the most heavily trafficked areas on campus : in entrance halls, in front of elevators, in the cafeteria,etc.
