The Media Wall…
What it is… It is NOT just four TV screens mounted
to a wall 4 Business-class video monitors Each has a small computer built in the
back Delivers content using special software that
is provided We don’t have to hide computers nearby Software acts as a scheduler which can
show different content at different times automatically
Also can function as a “Jumbo-tron”

REALLY wanted
