[itdiscuss] Display Screen Software

[Bob Cameron]

We run a Joomla website set up similar to what you are looking to do. With a
60 inch screen display mounted to the gathering area wall, our website
displays 24/7. Our website has weekly/monthly announcements rotating at the
top, second level has a daily events module that is connected to our ACS
calendar, and then the bottom has a scroller with announcements and contact
info. Use the F11 key to make the scroll bars go away after loading the
page.
We also display this in the sanctuary before each service. You can see it at
fumclv (dot) com
If you want to see the acs calendar module displaying, email me and I will
give you a log in.

We use an open source solution called XIBO.  Its still in a growing stage
but works great for us.  You essentially install it on a server and then
connect remote pc clients.  You simply schedule layouts for each client.. it
can handle powerpoint, html, all kinds of stuff.

 

We've got about 14 tvs active on it across our campus but only 2 clients
right now.  I keep the computers in our server room and use ZV100s
(zeevee.com - but you can buy their older units on ebay for $300 or so) to
modulate HD Clear QAM over coax to them.. then simply change the channel on
the TVs to get what I want.  The client computers have TV tuner cards in
them that we run a video feed from the main service into.. inside of our
XIBO layouts, we embed a section of HTML that uses the VLC IE plugin to
display the video.

 

It takes a little thought but you can do quite a bit with it and best of
all.. its FREE.

Starting to look at software for display screens in the church, we hope to
put them throughout the church with announcements, scheduled events and
maps, we might like to add video later.

 

I have been looking at SharePoint and using the internal network, but wanted
to know what other products are out there that others might be using and
like using or don't like using.

 

Thanks,
