Lobby Media Screens at YOUR School

Using a media screen in your lobby area is a great way to market and inform your parents, students, staff and visitors and it provides a bit of 'wow factor' as well.  These type installs can be less than you would imagine, but you definitely want to consider these guidelines:

Make SURE you size this properly.  Typically you will want to install a 60" - 65" LCD.  Trust me... it's a whole lot easier to view from a distance and it gives you enough real estate to split screen in to sections for a video, Powerpoint presentation or slideshow and maybe a bottom ticker detailing upcoming events, the current weather conditions or the daily lunch menu, etc.

Cost for an install of this sort requires the LCD, a mounting kit, perhaps running power to the source (licensed electrician) and a means to 'cast' content to the LCD... either a Chromecast, Miracast or other wifi enabled device... so yes - you would want to ensure your wifi coverage was adequate in the space that the media content will be displayed.

The cost for all of this is typically just under $2,000... less if you have an electrician in the parish, etc that might do the work gratis.  All you need is power... nothing else - as the rest of the connectivity is done over wifi that typically plugs into the HDMI port of the LCD.  Some LCD TVs are actually fully 'internet ready' with wifi capability built-in.

Please contact us directly for some discussion on how your school may be able to employ this type install. We'll come by and review your space and other requirements to develop the best plan possible for you!
