Hardware

Digital signage is not just restricted to wall-mounted landscape screens. We have installed screens in multiple orientations and a variety of configurations. Interactive touchscreens and freestanding totems have also been used for a more engaging customer experience.



Multi-output

In the majority of the reception areas, Barnsley wanted a standout solution to welcome their customers into a professional facility. We have installed a multi-output media player which connects to a number of screens and combines them into one canvas, allowing for a more impactful solution with the content shown across all of the screens at once.



Installation

Installing in different sites, with different needs meant each installation site was unique. Commercial grade components were used, including a single rail solution, capable of mounting upto 6 screens, as well as all cable management and strategic placement of the freestanding totems.



Software

We also supplied the cloud-based, embed , software to allow the content to be managed remotely from a central location. The ability to publish content to a variety of operating systems with different resolutions and orientations makes updating content easy.

“The CMS software is quick, intuitive and straightforward to understand, even to some of our execs with limited experience with previous content management systems.”



Content

Using the embed software, generic content alongside location specific information and timetables can be published from a single place. Advanced scheduling capabilities ensure the most relevant content is being displayed at the correct times, whether that be dependent on the date, time or even weather conditions.

EMBED SOFTWARE WEBSITE

“Digital signage gives us the WOW factor on our gym floors and around our facilities.
It has provided our customers with a one-stop-shop for everything YourSpace has to offer from viewing live class timetables, and personal trainer information to our latest marketing promotions.”

“We no longer have tacky posters stuck to the wall and are now able to communicate with our customers more efficiently than ever before.”
