What is Digital Signage?
Digital Signage is a dynamic way to promote your department’s accomplishments and upcoming events in a timely manner. You can ensure consistent engagement with the campus community using a combination of images, videos, and live data. Any of these items can be updated remotely and displayed on a single screen or several.
REACH is the enterprise-level platform behind our digital signage systems. Authorized users can log in using a web browser to add and manage content. Users can also see snapshots of their digital signage players in real-time, as well as share content with other facilities who have opted-in to receiving collaborative content.
Our Audiovisual Design & Installation (AVDI) team can help you get started with everything from consultations to equipment installation. Once the hardware is in place, AVDI Digital Signage will administer the REACH digital signage software, provision user accounts, train users, provide remote or in-person support, and maintain the player hardware. Additional video and graphic design services are available for custom content.
