CyberStream implemented a digital signage network at REA Maternity Hospital using their DSplay management platform. The system integrated LCD displays across 25 points in high traffic areas to provide information services like news, announcements, schedules and a weather forecast. A 46" touchscreen information point at the entrance allowed interactive wayfinding. DSplay managed content, devices and touchscreen interactions across Cisco and Samsung displays. The system also integrated with the hospital's patient entertainment and notification systems.

2. THE SOLUTION
CyberStream’s digital signage management platform, DSplay, has been
chosen as a core component for this implementation. Its powerful features,
open architecture and ability to integrate with Cisco media players and
touch screen devices created a reliable foundation for the applications that
were developed.
Cisco 40” LCD displays and media players provided a dependable combination
for information display, while a 46” Samsung network touch-screen was used
to implement the requested Information Point placed by the reception at the
hospital entrance. DSplay is being used to deliver management of devices,
content, schedules, roles and touch events in this installation. The platform
offers a unified environment for mixing different player types in the same
network transparently.
Information services rendered include news, notifications, announcements,
weather forecasts and RSS feeds. A tailor made application was developed
to present the schedule of procedures, including doctor and patient names
at selected screens.
Touch-screen applications run minimized during idle times at the Information
Point, and the display is being utilized as a standard digital signage screen.
The broadcasted media conten t is planned to include third-party promotional
material. The enhanced proof-of-play reporting mechanism of DSplay will
provide statistics per content owner to facilitate billing.
Integration with a streaming media server enables administrators to selectively
deliver free-to-air TV content at specific locations. Finally, the solution is
integrated with the patient bedside entertainment and notification system,
in the form of distinct video channels.
