Display Screens

There are fourteen display screens around New Adelphi, used for displaying student work and promotional material.

Posters

Seven of the screens are single panels used primarily for still image "posters". They are used to provide general purpose information and promotional material, with each poster displaying for around twenty seconds.

These displays can be found in the following locations:

Lifts (Level 0)	Facing the main bank of three lifts in the basement.

Lifts (Level 3)	Facing the rear side of the main bank of three lifts.
Lifts (Level 7)	Facing the main bank of three lifts.
Reception	On the wall in reception.

These displays can be found in the following locations:

Area	Location

Theatre (Level 1)	3x3 video wall adjacent to the Business School entrance.

Specification

• Dimensions: 1920 x 1080 pixels
• Framerate: Up to 60 fps
• Orientation: Landscape Only

Content Guidance

All content must be age appropriate and suitable for viewing by members of the public. Content should be produced to a high standard; poorly produced or inappropriate material will be rejected.

Replay of content subject to copyright will require confirmation of permission from the copyright holder.

When producing content for public display, please remember to include the name of your event, the date and time that it will take place, and any ticket and contact information. Try to not include large amounts of text; use imagery to attract attention and include a web address where people can find further information. If you are producing film or video content for advertising an event, please remember to hold the information on screen long enough for people to read. A better method would be to use an overlay, displaying the event information throughout the length of your film.

In exceptional circumstances, such as a special event or conference, it is possible to temporarily override other content. Please discuss this when submitting your media.

Filenames

If you are producing a batch of posters or films for display at various times during the year, it would be appreciated if you could name your files in the following format:

• STARTDATEANDTIME-ENDDATEANDTIME-NAMEOFEVENT.JPG

The above example is, of course, for a still JPEG file, but the format is the same for .MP4 or .MOV video files.

The date format is YYMMDDHHMM using the 24 hour clock, meaning that content which should start appearing at 1pm on 23rd September 2019 would be 1909231300. For example:

• 1909231300-1909271900-bigevent.jpg

The above named file would appear on screens between 1pm on 23rd September 2019 and stop appearing after 7pm on 27th September 2019.

Specification

Content for the still poster displays must be provided in the following format:

• Dimensions: 1920 x 1080 pixels
• Orientation: Landscape Only
• Compression: JPEG
• Quality Setting: High

Each image is shown for 25 seconds, displayed in random order from the image pool.
