Screens

There are twelve screens around New Adelphi for displaying information, notices and student work.

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.
