[OPLINLIST] Digital signage

[Joe]

We have one on a large TV in our lobby.  In terms of any perception 
issues, we listed it as a goal for our annual fund drive in 2013, and 
have a sign on the TV noting that it was purchased with the fund drive 
money.

We are using Concerto, which is an open source server/client system.  If 
you're just doing a single TV installation, something like Screenly that 
Jessica mentioned previously, or there are a couple of simple 
alternatives listed in the oplintech listserv link that Chad mentioned 
yesterday would be less involved to setup.

I would say reaction has been quietly positive.  No complaints, and one 
or two positive comments, though I think those revolved around us 
switching it from signage to an online video of a fireplace for a 
holiday open house program we hold each December in conjunction with the 
city's parks department...    If I recall, the first year we even 
plugged in a small space heater under the TV to maximize the effect.

Have a good day.

Joe
