Playing a nice, high quality video draws attention to your POS or event display like few other things (possibly short of a carnival barker). Yet I am sure you have also seen monitors showing nothing at all or just a menu or worse yet, the blue screen of death.

The first step to a video display that does its job well is to make sure it plays video all the time. Relying on the human factor to restart the video from time to time is asking for trouble. Life is full of interruptions, which all are likely to leave the screen ending up dark. The good news is that one or more videos can easily be programmed to play in a preset sequence, repeating endlessly, for as long as there is power coming into the monitor and player.

The next step is to make the video look its very best. When flat screen LCD TVs first came on the scene, we all found out just how bad standard definition video really looks. What was okay on a tube TV, became downright ugly on a LCD. And ugly is not what you want to show customers.

Again technology came to the rescue. With high definition screens readily available, DVD players began to offer upconverting of that standard video, resulting in an image that, while not as good as full high definition on Blu-ray, still looks very sharp and will draw looks. In fact, you may be quite amazed at the result.

All you need is a high definition TV with a built in (or external) upconverting DVD player or Blu-ray player and a DVD that is programmed to play the content of your choice in the right order, looping for as long as you want it to. The really good news is that this solution doesn’t cost very much to put in place and is low maintenance.

We can help you with programming your content DVD, either using video you already have or producing new content or a combination of both, as well as with getting the right equipment in place and running smoothly.
