A Screen for Every Occasion

Nov 3, 2015 | News

Can you remember the last time you entered a museum, visitor centre or heritage site and didn’t see at least one video? There’s a reason for that – if you want to share information with people whilst keeping them engaged, you generally need to give them something interesting to look at. Now thanks to our range of cased and open frame screens it’s easier than ever to build video into your interpretation scheme!

Cased Screens

From 19″ to 55″ the MediaScreen Schedule range offers full High Definition playback via the inbuilt media player. With sleek elegant tempered glass styling, the ability to be in constant use and included VESA mount, the MediaScreen Schedule is ready for commercial installations right out of the box.

Open Frame Screens

With fixing wings which allow them to be securely installed behind any surface, an inbuilt HD media player and 4 button inputs (8 for the 7″ version) our unique range of Open Frame Screens (available in 7″/10″/15″/22″) are designed to be easily built into any number of creative installations.

Examples of Cased Screens
NMI

The National Museum of Ireland use a 42″ MediaScreen Schedule for their Ib Jorgensen exhibition which looks back at one of Ireland’s most famous fashion designers amazing career. The screen displays a 47 image slideshow of Ib Jorgensen fashion photography. The elegant design fits nicely with the alluring garments that surround it.

The Tank Museum

To coincide with the release of the movie ‘FURY’ a new exhibition was opened at The Tank Museum which showcases the role they played in the movie as advisers and suppliers of the Tanks used on set. Amongst a number of other AV items provided was a MediaScreen Schedule utilised to play the HD FURY trailer on loop.

Examples of Open Frame Screens
Viridor Waste Management
As part of a larger project for Viridor Waste Management in which we designed and installed a new state-of-the-art visitor centre we utilised a number of open frame screens of various sizes. Central to the visitor centre is an interactive model which allows users to participate in the waste recovery process, activating each stage as residual waste is taken and turned into power – this model alone utilised 10 open frame screens.
Capel Newydd

Capel Newydd utilises a number of 7″ open frame screens to add a unique twist to standard signage. Activated via button presses visitors are able to see videos which compliment the surrounding information.

Llanyrafon Manor

We used a 22″ open frame screen at Llanyrafon manor to bring a replica Victorian kitchen range to life. Playing an endless fire loop with the appropriate sound effects truly made the replica appear real.
