College Digital Signage Solutions
College Digital Signage Revolution.
College digital signage is on the increase due to the amount of duty of care that is required for the students during the working day as well as the colleges using digital signage to market themselves and have a residual income stream.
Options available for college digital signage.
These are several options for education and in particular college digital signage solutions these range from the digital signage totem that can be located outdoors in any weather to a digital menu board in the refractory advertising the menu to students.
So let us take a look at the solutions that are available, but first there are a couple of points to consider;
- How will the content be updated?
- How frequent will the ads be updated?
Once you have the answer there are solutions to suit every application.
College digital signage that is updated infrequently.
The hardware here can be the basic type of digital signage and be the standalone units, these only require a power supply to run the units, the hardware commonly used in this type of solution has a built in media player that is updated by using a USB drive into the player and copying the content across to the the player.
This group of hardware includes floor standing advertising displays that come complete with a commercial grade screen with a life span of 50,000 hours and a build in media player these are available in sizes from 32″ to 65″ for indoor use, there is also the outdoor digital signage totem this is identical to the indoor unit but manufactured to copy with the outdoor elements that could potential damage the hardware. Then there are the digital posters these are used in reception areas to give an overview of the college prospectus so all visitors are aware what the college offers – again these units are available in sizes 32″ to 65″ and can be mounted in landscape or portrait positions.
College digital signage that is updated frequently.
This type of hardware needs to be connected to a digital signage network to allow simply updates using the Internet, this allows for remote content updates or can cover a complete college or university campus. This reduces the labour time in updating the content manually and prevents some signs being left running old content.
Networked floor standing advertising displays are available in both landscape or portrait position, as the unit below.
- Interactive college digital signage
As well as the above solutions there are also outdoor digital signage totem units that are also networked, as well as the digital menu board solutions. But one of the most modern solutions is to use a commercial grade screen and a portrait flat panel enclosure that takes up a minimum amount of wall space.
