Welcoming

Important visitors and groups of visitors should be welcomed appropriately at your company. Gone are the
times, in which even the most important visitors were welcomed anonymously. Today, in the era of modern
communication, the appropriate welcoming presentation should be a matter of fact. Of course, each and
every customer is favourably impressed - there is no better way to start a meeting with a VIP.

 

 

 

In the partition “Welcome” you will find a
prepared template, which has been
adapted to the Corporate Identity of the
company. The name of the guest to be
welcomed and the respective company
have to be entered. You can also choose
a title or even a picture. This means that
the person in question can be welcomed
with a picture or the company logo. After
entering all relevant data in the prepared
mask, the actual welcoming picture on
the respective monitor will be shown with
the “preview” button. Changes are
possible at any time.

Normally all relevant data regarding
visitors will be entered at the beginning of
the work day or the beginning of the
working week. For the secretary, having
all the relevant data for the week, it is
easy and economical to enter the data in
the prepared template. In case there are
changes regarding visitors, the
welcoming information can be altered
within seconds in the graphic matrix. 

 

 This is how it works:
   
    Enter the welcoming text and the names
of the expected customers or groups.
     
    Select now the customer logo or the
picture of the customer.
     
    After pressing the “preview” button, the
image will appear on the operators
monitor to control if everything is alright.
     
  Now an information block appears on the
operator's monitor. It is shown clearly by a
well designed graphical interface.
Rescheduling is very simple.
     
     Arabic, asian, russian and characters of
other countries can be shown as well.
     

 

All options for visual presentations

All prevalent multimedia formats for film and picture can be shown with VisGuide. They should be entered
when the message will be prepared, together with the time of the beginning and the time of the expected end.

Text/ pictures for
welcoming,
agendas, etc.

 
  Enter messages with integrated pictures or single jpg files. Application e.g. in
greetings, messages, weather information, special offers, and others.
PowerPoint    PowerPoint files will be played in the infinite loop. VisGuide can also show
films, which were integrated in PowerPoint presentations. Batch files will
also be played in the infinite loop. This means that several PowerPoint
presentations can be played one after the other.
     
Film/
Multimedia files  
 

All the main multimedia video formats can be played: avi, mpg, mpeg, rm,
mov, wmw and even swf-flash files as well as the new mp4-format.
Optionally the movies can be shown in full format or scaled.

     
TV, DVD and
video streaming
  Real video sources can be chosen here. This could be TV- programs
(CNN, Bloomberg, BBC, Euronews...) or video cameras for surveillance
of certain rooms, persons or equipment.
     
Flash animations  

Single flash animations in SWF format are possible. Special upgrading:
choose your flash animations and merge them into a play list with a
defined running sequence.

     
Web sites   Homepages can be displayed. Simply enter the address, e.g. www.vicom.de/
aktuell. Messages for displays can be prepared externally. This is
important for last minute changes, when templates will be changed at
the last second.
     
 Multi screen   Different presentations can be shown on the monitor. This means that
films can be shown at the same time as PowerPoint presentations, flash
animations or pictures.

    Floor projection as guide.

Simple Handling


 

There is no easier handling.

The welcoming system can be handled e.g.
by the secretary at her workstation. The
layout of the single charts has already been
prepared in templates.

Therefore it is easy to enter name of visitors,
pictures, menus, agendas etc. and send
them with one click of the mouse to the
respective or to all presentation media.

     

 

 

Restaurant/ Cafeteria


 

The presentation of the menus can be
prepared in a fast and professional way
with the help of VisGuide.

Even several food give-out counters can
be supplied with individual menus at the
same time.  

     

 

Distribution of information


Basis for the distribution of all signals are
network cables (Cat 5 or Cat 7), a WLAN-
connection respectively.

On this network all signals and control
commands are transmitted: picture
information, multimedia, TV channels,
controls and monitoring for the connected
displays.

Most companies already have the
necessary network installed, which
means the subsequent implementation of
VisGuide poses no problems.



 

 

Connection to extern sources:
National and international


   

Advertisement and information will be sent via
FTP to destinations inland and abroad. Usually
the download process will take place during
night. This means new programs can
automatically be played the next morning.

Important for the receiving terminal is that the
contents can be edited, so individual offers
can be implemented or prices can be
adjusted to the local market situation. 

     

Integration in companies - several server - numerous displays



Within big firms VisGuide can be integrated precisely according to the necessities for optimal use and
maximum efficiency. Multiuser server and different display varieties will be supplied.

News ticker



The news ticker is a universal instrument for all kinds of ticker applications and these are very
numerous nowadays:

  • Normal ticker
  • Double ticker
  • Colours for text and background can be defined
  • Transparency and half transparency for text and backgrounds
  • Foreign special characters
  • Different languages (Russian, Japanese …)
  • Input can be saved and is editable RSS feed or simple text input

The ticker concept of VisGuide is unique. The user can choose freely between the automatic
image of a RSS feed (ready made templates which can be retrieved from a web site) or a self
made text as a news ticker. Written text can be saved, activated and up-dated anytime. The
usage of different languages is very easy for foreign customers: Russian, Chinese or
Japanese people can be addressed in their own language.

Multi screen

With the option Multi Screen you can choose more freely the design for the info displays. Multi Screen
permits several images at the same time on the monitor.

Thus, flash animations, multimedia films, video live streams, tickers and static images can be
freely combined.


In this Multi Screen the following
is shown at the same time:
picture/text HTML, a video
stream and two tickers.

 

 

 

 

 

HD - High Definition


With the HD option the contents will be transmitted in the highest resolution. The image is in full
HD resolution, i.e. 1920 x 1080 pixels. This enables you to display your products and news in the best
possible quality. HD resolutions with 1440 x 900 or 1280 x 768 pixels are also possible.

Design of templates

It is important for every company that the design on the monitors is consistent with the Corporate
Identity. In VisGuide all templates and images can be included in the HTML templates. This means
for the customer that the design of the templates can be carried out by themselves or their graphics
designer. Changes in the design of the info displays or door displays can be carried out by the
company itself in no time at all.

Emergencies

In case of fire, bomb alarms, etc. alarms can be shown on the displays without delay with the help of
prepared emergency charts. Complete floors or buildings can be evacuated within a short time span.
This means best security for your visitors and staff.
