[OPLINLIST] Flat Screen Digital Signage

[Mohamed A. Ragheb]

Hello Susan,

We have purchased and installed 2 SONY EX523 46" LED TV for the same 
purpose, I selected this particular model for many reasons which i will 
highlight down below, it's not just a TV to display slides but it is a 
nice toy you can use it for many purposes, i thought this will be a good 
choice since it have all we need plus some other features which we can 
utilize in the near future.

  * It have Built in Wi-Fi makes it easy to configure and change the
    slides anytime from your desk over the network.
  * It have media sharing capabilities.
  * it's internet TV so you can browse the internet or switch the TV to
    a specific website page if you need to highlight a certain event on
    your website or on the web in general at a certain time.
  * it have Skype application which you can utilize for Video
    conferencing " you need to purchase a camera and a mic if interested
    of using this feature".

The way we have it configured , we created a network shared folder for 
the slides which is accessible by the staff member in charge of changing 
the slides, we created a web page to pull all these slides and run a 
slide show, both TV's connected to the internet through our Wi-Fi and 
display this web page and run the slide show, we use the same slides 
from this network shared folder to run a screen saver on our OPAC 
computers "Online Public Access Catalog while it's not in use as well as 
other Digital picture frames around the library.

I hope that helps,
Thanks
