Saint Louis University updates its emergency communications network with digital signage

The new digital signage network, including the RGB Spectrum MediaWall visual processor, from Saint Louis University has made it possible to optimize the center's emergency communications system, providing full campus coverage.

Administration, The state of Missouri experiences more than 30 tornadoes every year causing great loss of life and property. In this environment, Early notification systems are a crucial part of minimizing risks and ensuring public safety.

To help protect staff and students in emergency situations, Saint Louis University (Saint Louis University) of Missouri has implemented an innovative display system that includes the MediaWall processor from RGB Spectrum.

Saint Louis University commissioned TSI Global, audiovisual services integration company, the design and installation of a digital signage solution that would improve the center's emergency communications system. The university has expanded this system with an audiovisual network that covers the entire campus., which allows it to reach the classrooms simultaneously, auditoriums, residence, building lobbies and student union facilities.

The system offers university advertisements, information and images, while video walls serve as support for conferences and presentations. In the event of a severe weather situation or other emergency, The network is used to provide early warnings and instructions.

En el Reinhart Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning, The RGB Spectrum MediaWall Display Processor controls a video wall of 3 x 6 composed of LCD monitors 46 inches of NEC Display. The screen is divided into two sections and the monitors are daisy chained so that each processor output can scale over nine monitors.

Inputs to the processor include platform media channels X20 (university main content provider), news and weather notifications, as well as images from security cameras. The MediaWall processor is used to configure the input signals displayed on the video walls.. Operators can change inputs and window layouts easily using processor presets or a third-party touchscreen controller.. Signal integrity remains constant even when operators change sources or window positions.

TSI Global and Saint Louis University chose the MediaWall processor for its flexibility, security and ease of use. The processor allows windows of any size and the arrangement of content anywhere on the video wall. During emergency situations, RGB Spectrum capabilities ensure the processor will display real-time communications and updates.

Incorporating a MediaWall processor into the AV system allowed the integrator to replace expensive and inefficient projectors with a highly energy-efficient LCD video wall display.. This has resulted in significant cost savings, better image quality and fewer maintenance problems.
