Projection in shop windows - a VICOM system solution

For generations it has been a dream for retailers, agencies and decorators to make projections in shop windows. Several problems avoided a successful presentation of projection in screen windows, such as annoying reflections, low light output from the projectors and inappropriate rear projection screens.

Latest technologies allowed VICOM now to design a system, which takes all these considerations into account and which allows very easy handling. With this new optical technology, a brilliant vision can be achieved. Even during daylight the projection is so bright and full of contrast that advertisement and sports or factual information can be displayed.

Special long life components guarantee that the projectors and players can run for a very long time without wear. A software package was exclusively designed for display window use which has a focus on the professional presentation. This package gives the user an easy handling when photos, movies and graphics are brought together. The software allows brand new fading effects and shows a fantastic picture quality. On top of that the software controls the turning on and off of the projector.

SIRIUS projectors - Screen window projector for tough long term use

Screen window projector for tough long term use. SIRIUS projectors are especially designed for long term use. They contain optical and electronical components, which perform better and longer than the ones in “standard projectors”.

SIRIUS projectors are one of the very few projectors, which allow a real 24 hour/7 days a week use. The capability of permanent use documents the quality and excellence of those units. SIRIUS projectors by VICOM have been used for many years in theatres and opera houses world-wide. Reliability has always been the conclusive criteria for those customers.

Automatic operation by software

VICOM SIRIUS projectors work best when used in combination with “ShowCreator Professional” software (see description in the next chapter). This software turns the projector on and off at predetermined times, so no one needs to take care of the window pane projection. If an error should occur, the SIRIUS projector is able to send an automatic error massage by LAN/ETHERNET/Internet to an external address.

Lens change system

Within a very short time lenses can be changed at these projectors. These allows the retailer to change decoration without problems or to use the projector at a different location. With those feature the user has an enormous flexibility. For instance he can move the projector spontaneously from the window pane and use it for another kind of presentation, such as an exhibi-tion.

Additional security with maintenance contract

For maximum security we offer maintenance agreement for entire installations. For this projector it means that preventive activities, such as filter cleaning, lamp change and exchange of expend-able parts will be done before any kind of malfunctioning will occur.

ShowCreator Software - THE presentation software especially made for shop windows

ShowCreator Professional is a special software, which was designed especially for window display presentation. It contains unique features to make a shop window projection a success. The handling is very simple. Thus every user and retailer who is creating a new program or updating an existing presentation can handle it in minutes.

Many different formats can be applied

SunScreen professional is prepared for using picture formats like JPG and BMP as well as film formats MPG and AVI. With this, SunScreen professional covers most used formats. The individual pictures and movies can fade to the next one with impressive effects, which enhances the attention of the viewer. Individually for each picture, the show time can be specified in seconds. At the end of the new program or your update, you simply press the loop-button to get an endless presentation without breaks.

Effects of a new kind

For shop window presentation, we have developed new effects to support the needs of our custo-mers. Now it is possible to address only 3 items in order to make impressive presentation. A picture, a headline and a text-message is necessary for the input. Instandly ShowCreator makes with those 3 inputs a fast and impressive presentation. Just download the demo software from our homepage and find out how easy ShowCreator can be handled.

Digital signage

According to the time of the day predetermined loops can be programmed. For instance: in the morning until 12:30 am for school kids, in the afternoon another programm for teens and in the evening advertisements for adults.

Projector control

In the professional version one feature turns the projector on and off. Individually for each day, start and ending time of projection can be determined. In other words, for individual days like Sundays, public holidays, city celebrations and so on, starting times can be adjusted individually.
