Inspired Signage

Inspired Signage

We are currently working on a digital signage installation for a school system in Virginia. They will soon be able to create & update signage content from one location and it will appear in multiple locations at each of the schools. Even better, this signage will also appear on a local TV station so they are also reaching every household who tunes into that channel from the same place...pretty cool!

WHAT is Digital Signage

The AV Company installs the Inspired Signage solution from AMX. It enables customers to create, schedule and deliver their own vibrant, animated content dynamically to display screens across a network of sites locally, nationally or globally. Through pre-configured hardware and an intuitive software application, your existing staff can easily manage content, graphics and animation targeted to chosen audiences.

Digital Signage is idea for-

  • CINEMAS
  • SPORTING VENUES
  • THEATRES
  • BANKING
  • CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS
  • HOTELS
  • EDUCATION
  • RECEPTION AREAS
  • EXHIBITIONS
  • CONFERENCES

Do you think digital signage may be right for you? Visit the AMX website for more details or call The AV Company for a custom quote.

What time is it?

What time is it?

We were recently contracted by a local school system to provide master clocks and thought we would share a little more about them here on our blog. Bogen Time Systems provide schools with the correct, up-to-the-second time everywhere in the school. This means that every area from classroom to cafeteria, gymnasium to media center, administrative office to the lobby are all in sync. For more information, check out Bogen's Time System Brochure or give us a call!

5 Ways Classrooms Can Use Videoconferencing

5 Ways Classrooms Can Use Videoconferencing

According to this great article from Mashable, there are 5 key ways that classrooms can use Videoconferencing-

  1. To connect with experts (face to face and in real-time)
  2. Virtual field trips (no transportation, no food to plan for, and no missing kids)
  3. Working together (students can collaborate with students in other states on projects)
  4. Accessing previously unavailable courses (great for rural areas or places who do not have teachers for certain subjects)
  5. Teaching the teachers (great for keeping up with professional development hours)
