"Saville have successfully combined a sleek modern interior into an historic building".The screens are fed with graphic content from a Cayin digital signage server system that allows different displays to show different content as required. The content includes promotional video clips, text information in ticker and banner form, plus live web RSS feeds or any combination of these overlaid upon each other. A central PC allows the content to be created in-house and then sent to each screen as required.
Saville
also provided
LED information
display boards
directing
visitors
around the
centre, plus
a freestanding
touch screen
kiosk linked
to the centre’s
internal
web site.
This enables
visitors
to access
information
about regional
activities
or attractions
without assistance.
Other facilities
include the
option to
connect a
laptop PC
to one of
the 65” screens,
for use by
visiting
guides or
lecturers
to present
to groups.

“We were
delighted
to be chosen
as the preferred
AV partner
for Visit
York. This
is the first
project of
its type
in the UK
to provide

immersive
experience.”
Gillian
Cruddas,
chief executive
of Visit
York said,
‘Saville
have successfully
combined
a sleek modern
interior
into an historic
building.
Their use
of cutting
edge technology
means we
now have
a Visitor
Centre to
rival any
in the country
and a flagship
centre for
Yorkshire”.
Saville has supplied a network of digital signage screens with QoVision software aboard four Irish Sea ferries of the Stena Line. The company operates daily services from Belfast to Stranraer, Rosslare to Fishguard and Dublin to Holyhead.

The screens are easily updated, providing passengers with a dynamic and dramatically improved standard of information displays. The requirements included replacement of existing static menu boards in the ships’ Food City restaurants with NEC 40” LCD displays. Each screen has a QoVision digital signage player installed, allowing different content to be shown on each display.
Existing on-board plasma displays were connected to a QoVision signage player with its output split to four screens, displaying currency exchange rates, on-board offers and product advertising. Another player is connected to an existing matrix switcher, enabling extra content to be shown on any of the screens as required.
New cabling was installed
for the restaurant
displays, while other
screens receive content
via
the existing on-board
data cabling system.
