| Project Scope: |
Digital displays are being increasingly implemented in office areas, such as meeting rooms, hallways, and elevators, for either broadcasting important information or displaying promotional content. For this project, a leading product manufacturer wanted to upgrade their elevator display system at its headquarters office. The original display system comprised a non-industrial-grade, PC-based content server connected to a display computer and 10” LCD display located in each elevator.
|
| |
| This system had been in use for over 10 years and was beginning to show problems. Their displays were so old that the image was often blurred and the colors dull. Additionally, voltage fluctuations in elevator power caused the display screens to flicker. In addtion, media formats supported by the content server were limited, content updates were difficult to conduct and videos and images were frequently exported with an incorrect aspect ratio. |
| |
| In order to resolve the above issues promptly, Advantech recommended its digital signage solution, which combines industrial-grade hardware with cloud-based content management software to provide a cost-effective total solution for high-performance digital signage operations. |

System Requirements: |
| ‧ |
10” industrial-grade, all-in-one (AiO) computer |
| ‧ |
Industrial-grade Ethernet switch to provide a fast and stable Ethernet connection |
| ‧ |
Industrial-grade digital signage server equipped with content management software |
|
| |
| System Implementation: |
| Advantech Digital Signage Player, DS-570 Series, combines a 6th Gen core Intel Celeron N2930/J1900 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M graphics to drive 4 screens via HDMI x 2, DP++ x 1 , VGA x 1 I/O ports. Display at 3840 x 2160 @30Hz per screen. |

The original two-piece display systems (a display computer combined with a 10” display) located in every elevator were replaced with an Advantech’s UTC-510D 10.1” AiO computer. Equipped with an Intel® Atom™ E3825 processor and fanless design, UTC-510D delivers excellent computing performance and stable operation despite high elevator temperatures. The UTC-510D’s beautiful 10.1” LCD display with 1280 x 800 resolution and 350-nit luminance provides crisp and bright displays of diverse multimedia content. Regarding software, each UTC-510D system is installed withthe WebAccess/IMM client program. When connected to the Internet, UTC-510D can automatically receive and display content from the server according to a pre-set schedule.

| Conclusion: |
| When considering digital signage for elevators, the enclosure that houses signage is quite important. Slim or recessed enclosures are generally preferred because the elevator space is limited. The UTC-510D’s customized enclosure is not only attractive, but also protects the screen from accidental damage. The removable frame design allows UTC-510D to be easily integrated with the enclosure and mounted flush to the wall for a neat and modern elevator appearance. |
