DIGITAL SIGNAGE

A digital sign is one that is made up of a combination of pixels, and controlled digitally; this allows you to have dynamic content, which brings your advertisement or message to life.

Digital Signage is a great way to convey a message to visitors and passers by.  For that impressive look, Plasma and LCD Video walls create a larger visual display for graphics, data, pictures or multiple images.

DWM can install leading brands of Widescreen LCD monitors which are now in direct competition with plasma screens, and are ideal for public display boards. We can also install a large range of touchscreens, external screens and plasma screens (also known as Plasma Display Panels “PDP’s”) from most leading brand manufacturers.

Our digital signage installations can range from a single screen with in-built PC and digital signage software for a simple to use solution, or for greater impact we can install a video wall made up of several display screens with a dedicated PC to run your signage software.

All of our installations are carried out by our team of professionals who have many years of experience and any electrical work is carried out in accordance with current IEE wiring regulations BS7671:2008.

To get the very best out of your new Digital Signage solution you should ensure that the content that you display to your customers is relevant, local and compelling.

DWM Composer
Our specialist composer software has been created to display information graphically on different kinds of output devices and allows us to create an array of solutions to meet your exact needs; from static newsletter design templates to photographs, video clips and animated welcome messages.

Our software integrates with most common image and video formats allowing us to create presentations that attract viewer’s attention and increases information awareness.

Our designs are created with your school’s requirements in mind and are tailored to complement your school’s image/branding – they can be as simple or as comprehensive as you require.

Content Management & Scheduling
DWM Bridge
DWM Bridge distributes content to your local or remote digital signage players and allows you to create and schedule multilayered playlists. Our flexible scheduling allows you to select what content is displayed at any time of the day or night, depending on your audience.  Content is distributed using FTP over Internet or an LAN.

One DWM Bridge system allows you to work with an unlimited number of destinations.  Each individual destination updates a content database and therefore only distributes new or changed content to each player site.

Our scheduling tool allows real-time playout, combining all available dynamic information, scheduling rules and static content to create a broadcast quality message that can be displayed on any type of device, such as plasma, LCD, LED or External Screens, Touchscreens or Projectors.

Network Management
DWM Network Management Tool
Our Network management tool is based on a database solution that enables workflow management and network planning and monitoring.  It is an open system based on a MySQL database which enables users to create their own interfaces to the system thus enabling additional features to be added to the Network Management system. 

Our DWM Network Management Tool supports the database solution by providing applications that allow users to modify the data stored in the database through the DWM Data Collector which operates as a Windows Service application and communicates via UDP/IP through Firewalls.
