Compatibility Test

Druckversion

AOpen Europe has announced the cooperation and compatibility with digital signage software company Dise. After successful testing, it was confirmed that AOpen Digital Engine DE7000 and Dise software work together seamlessly.
 
This partnership is in use around the world, with three recent projects being finished in Nebrija University, MACBA Museu D’Art Contemporani De Barcelona, and Virgin Active Healthclubs, all in Spain.
 

Case Study: Museu D’Art Contemporani
 

 
The museum of contemporary art in Barcelona is one of the major tourist attractions of the city. The MACBA Collection, which started in roughly 1950, consists of many works from Catalonian, Spanish and International artists. Though not an anthology, it is a thorough overview of the fundamental aspects of Contemporary Art which hopes to promote both exercises and education in critical memory.
 
The museum is not only up-to-date with history but also invests in current times. The museum makes use of today’s growing digital world with endless possibilities. The new concept strengthens the aesthetics of the museum. Visitors reaction is positive and the sales of the museum have gone up since the implementation of digital signage.
 

 
The Implementation
 
At the information desk at the entrance of the museum, informative displays have been installed. Besides substantially improving the museum’s image, the concept also allows visitors to access all information quickly, avoiding unnecessary queues. The content can be managed from a single remote location making it easy to change information on-demand, keeping everything up-to-date. Next to the information desk, MACBA also installed a six-screen video wall in the foyer of the museum.
 
All players are synchronized on the network by means of exclusive features offered by Dise software such as the ability to incorporate any type of format or file. A total resolution of 2751 x 2342 pixels would be impossible to manage on any other type of system, but runs perfectly thanks to the strong media player hardware from AOpen.
 
Benefits
 
The complete system allows content to be updated in real time and can be scheduled to appear at a certain time hourly, daily or at whatever time the user want. Thanks to the extensive functionality of the software all players can be managed in a centralised and automated way. Features ranging from the ability to switch players on and off from a distance, to the ability to generate reports and playback statistics, are all of great benefit to the IT and marketing department. Saving time on installation, management, content creation, and power consumption are just a few of the advantages of this powerful digital signage installation.
 
The Concept
 

The concept is based on two control stations, which have two distinctive functions. They automatically manage and control all hardware associated with the system (screens and players). Secondly these stations are used for content creation and publication. All content is distributed through a dedicated server, so that all players are able to present content simultaneously on all screens throughout the museum, whether they have the same content or not.
 
The implementation project was led by Euroservicios a Spanish system integrator specialised in IT audiovisual digital signage software and hardware.
