Connect Your Digital Media Player

Your digital signage content needs a device that will deliver the images and video to your display. Enplug uses a simple, yet reliable plug-and-play device that just needs power and ethernet or WiFi to run the Enplug software and then to be connected to a HD display via a HDMI cable. Need the device to operate from anywhere? We also have 4G options available as well.

Choosing The Right Digital Signage For Your Institution

The needs in education vary greatly depending on the characteristics of the facility, and so too the options for displaying content for digital signage.

PORTRAIT WALL MOUNT DISPLAY

These are often used in education as building directories or for class schedules, calendars and advertising and are mounted vertically against the wall using a metal wall bracket. Portrait-oriented displays are considered more aesthetically pleasing since they occupy less space than horizontally mounted displays and are capable of running 24/7 or scheduled to operate during open hours. The commercial grade means that in addition to their continuous use, they can also be placed in well-lit areas due to their high-brightness.

INDOOR KIOSK TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY

Touchscreen kiosks provide all the perks of a standard commercial portrait displays with the added benefits that interaction and mobility can provide. The touch-enabled display gives users the ability to interact with websites and online forms, potentially for sign-in apps or any custom app using the Enplug app marketplace. The stand is also mobile and can be configured with castor wheels, so the device could be easily moved from a reception area to notify new students or visitors outside of a classroom.

CEILING MOUNT TV DISPLAY

Suspended from the ceiling, these display configurations are great for crowded and high-traffic areas where overhead visibility is required. Meeting areas, event spaces and large cafeterias benefit greatly from the elevated viewpoint and are often coupled with a HDMI switch to change between other presentation streams and the Enplug media player. The commercial nature of these displays means that operation is available 24/7 in brightly-lit areas, with built-in scheduling features that can be configured directly from the Enplug dashboard.

OUTDOOR TOUCHSCREEN KIOSK

The touch-enabled display gives users the ability to interact with websites and online forms, providing important for students or visitors. The stand is securely fixed to a concrete base in an rugged metal all-weather enclosure. The high bright commercial display inside is designed to operate all day, all year round in all light conditions and can be scheduled to turn on and off as required.

VIDEO WALL MATRIX

Combining four commercial grade displays in a daisy-chain 2x2 configuration mounted to a wall with a wall bracket, that provides bright, hard-to-miss experience with loads of visual impact. This can be run from a single media player sending a 4k UHD image so there’s still plenty of detail despite the sheer scale of these display configurations.
