BrightSign has been chosen to supply digital signage hardware to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in lower Manhattan, and Smart Digital Solutions was chosen to provide systems integration and support. BrightSign’s media players now run one third of the museum’s digital signage, feeding informational and interactive content to approximately 30 displays located throughout all seven floors of the subterranean museum. The museum plans to standardise on BrightSign’s 4K players for the future.
BrightSign’s 4K players run a combination of Sharp and LG displays positioned at key entry points and high-throughput areas, including single screens, video walls and interactive touchscreens.
The museum is more than 100,000 square feet, and relies heavily on these displays to help visitors make the most of their time. The museum has around 20,000 visitors a day and is open 365 days a year. It remains open for 14 hours per day during the peak tourist seasons.
Content is produced primarily in-house, and managed remotely via BrightSign Network Enterprise Edition from the museum’s administrative offices. The next phase of implementation will incorporate streaming video projected in 60 of the museum’s exhibits.
