PCEC shows what’s possible
Exhibition and convention centres may well have led the pack with its early uptake of wayfinding digital signage but the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre is showing just how far signage has come in the conferencing space. It’s superbly integrated, featured in places, and seamlessly managed and controlled via a PADS4 web-based digital signage solution.
Rutledge AV was commissioned to design and install an upgrade to their digital signage system, which included digital signage content creation services.
The PADS4 digital signage solution was installed to deliver content across 38 digital displays throughout the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre (PCEC). A central server was connected to the PCEC Network which included the server software and authoring software. All digital content including room bookings, advertising and menu options are individually addressable on each screen.
In addition, two 4 x 55-inch video wall displays were installed on a customised bracket in the foyer and Riverside Theatre area, 14 x 32-inch displays were wall mounted in meeting and river rooms, and 14 x 40-inch displays wall mounted on Level 1 and the kiosk. An administration PC is housed at the kiosk area which was loaded with the Pads4 authoring software, allowing for content scheduling.
Rutledge AV has been designing and rolling out digital signage systems for over 20 years across the corporate, government, education and health sectors. With the latest advancements in technology and delivery platforms, the audio visual powerhouse has launched a digital signage content creation and management service.
“We see this as a huge value proposition to offer our clients and any organisation considering digital signage.” says Andrew Morrice, CEO, Rutledge AV. “We can now design the system, network and provide the full end to end service of offering content creation and management as well. Our in-house specialist team of digital marketers, graphic designers and software developers focus on understanding the communication objectives of the organisation that is rolling out the digital signage, and to then develop content to achieve objectives and provide return on investment.’
