  • The right message

    Start with content, timing and audience.

  • One or many screens

    Match management to the display network.

  • Planned publishing

    Agree schedules and ownership of content.

  • Managed access

    Define publishing and support roles.

Local update

Staff computer

Prepare content and schedule; write the storage card.

Local player

Insert the reviewed card and start playback.

Information screen

Staff visually check the release.

This is a local update workflow. A playback picture is checked by staff; it is not a remote CMS health report.

System composition

Eight standard players feed eight commercial displays. Two interactive players feed two touch displays over HDMI and receive touch events over separate USB connections. One further player feeds an LED processor over HDMI. The processor drives the LED receiving system. All 11 players have local storage and their own CMS endpoint entitlement. Shared services include the CMS, network, two existing staff workstations and one directory application deployment licensed for both kiosks.

What we need to demonstrate

Exercise all 11 endpoints, search and update both kiosks, test a directory outage and restart, map the complete LED canvas.

Handover evidence: Endpoint/licence register, navigation tests, fallback evidence and LED mapping record.

These are planned project checks. The reference configuration has not passed physical system acceptance.

Discuss this option · DS-03

04 · From brief to handover

Agree the workflow before choosing the hardware.

Start with the people, activities and operating conditions. Confirm the design, interfaces and acceptance plan before procurement and installation.

  1. 01

    Scope and architecture

    Map audiences, display points, content types, languages and operating hours. Name the content owners and choose local publishing, a managed network or interactive retail navigation.

  2. 02

    Design and approval

    Issue the display map, readability requirements, signal paths, network and power schedules. Define templates, roles, group destinations, licence scope and fallback behaviour.

  3. 03

    Selection and supply

    Confirm displays, players, storage, mounting and software against the agreed content. Validate the touch/application pairing and LED processing where included; record licence terms and supply status.

  4. 04

    Installation and programming

    Install and label the equipment. Load the local presentation for DS-01; configure CMS groups and schedules for DS-02/03. Deploy and map the navigation and LED content for DS-03.

  5. 05

    Commissioning and tests

    Publish real content to the intended destinations. Check time changes, permissions, interrupted updates and recovery. Exercise both touch kiosks, stale directory data and LED mapping where included.

  6. 06

    Handover

    Train editors and administrators. Deliver the display/player register, diagrams, templates, application and configuration backups, licence record, acceptance report and operating procedures.
