Re: Lobby Display/Announcement System

Hello:

We looked at the products from Samsung in this area. They have a software
piece that goes along with the product to control content and also stand
alone options. See the quote below from an article I quickly found on
their new latest and greatest.

"Leveraging Samsung's proprietary MagicNet Pro software, the SyncMaster
700DXn large format display enables users to control content across
several displays using a single computer, eliminating the need for a
dedicated PC for each display. With MagicNet Pro, content creation and
distribution is simple for all network operators -- users can simply
drag-and-drop existing content files, requiring minimal supervision and
training. "

See the article here .... I hope this helps.
