Stena sails with digital signage

QoVision has been installed on digital signage screens aboard three Irish Sea ferries of the Stena Line. Stena operates regular daily services from Belfast to Stranraer, Rosslare to Fishguard and Dublin to Holyhead.

The new screens are easy to update and provide passengers with a dramatically improved standard of dynamic information displays. The requirements included replacement of existing static menu boards in the on-board 'Food City' restaurants with NEC 42" LCD displays. Each screen has a Qovision digital signage player installed, allowing different content to be shown on each display.

Existing on-board plasma displays were connected to a QoVision signage player with its output split to four screens, displaying currency exchange rates, on-board offers and product advertising. Another player is linked to the matrix switcher enabling extra content to be shown on any of the screens as required.

A new cabling network was installed for the restaurant displays, while other screens receive content via the existing data cabling.

Twickenham experiences the digital signage

QoVision is at the heart of a prominent digital signage installation at either side of the reception desk, for visitor information and for use by the Twickenham Experience Marketing team.

Each of the displays comprises nine 42” LCD screens configured in a 3 x 3 video wall format. The displays are supported on tubular steel columns that run from floor to ceiling, with individual mounting kits for all of the screens. A Dexon Server in the control room provides videowall processing for the screen systems, running the video signal via CAT5 structured cabling to each bank of screens.

The server provides picture-in-picture display, a choice of composite images or a different image on all nine screens. The server also compensates for the width of the screen bezels so that no text and information is lost.

The system includes audio replay via discreet ceiling speakers in the reception area, for sound accompanying the video images. The desk in the control room is fitted with an AMX push button panel which automates the switching on and off of all of the screens.

The system was designed with flexibility and future growth potential in mind and the controller can be programmed to handle other sources as the system is expanded.

The information display is running new QoVision digital signage software. A range of templates for screen designs was provided and the Twickenham Experience Marketing team received a full day’s training on the operation of the system.
