Digital Signage

Information about "Digital Signage" service. This service is available to KTH employees.

Description

Digital signage is used to inform KTH employees, student and visitors via digital screens. These are used today both for internal and external communication. What you need for digital signage is a screen, software for remote control of the screen, and possibly a computer. The computer is needed if the screen is not compatible with the software.

In our Digital signage service, we use the SmartSign software.

Note that editorial work is not part of the service but is expected to be handled by the organization.

Scope

Different efforts are required in setting up the service, depending on what the environment where the screen is to be installed looks like. These efforts are grouped into two parts and the activities are shown below.

Initial startup

  • Acquisition of SmartSign license
  • Screen selection and purchase
  • Coordination of the work for setting up the screen
  • Mounting screen on wall
  • Possible withdrawal of electricity or network
  • Network configuration
  • Introduction (approx. 1 h) of SmartSign editors to the editors within the organisaiton at KTH.

 Ongoing support

  • Maintenance and updating of the SmartSign system and screen
  • Support efforts in the event of a fault report, such as calling out the technician, troubleshooting and fixing the problem.
