Chris, Have you seen the case study of how Mercy Corps is using NetxPosure to deliver content to large displays? http://www.netx.net/success-stories-2/mercy-corps/ You guys are on NetxPosure's client list, so you might want to explore that option. Any digital asset management system should support this type of functionality. It would be centralized around your digital assets and collections data, which makes it much simpler than having multiple systems driving content.

At Yale's Beinecke Library, we are looking to install large displays in our entrance that will be used not only to give information about our historic building, but to showcase and augment our collections on display. Has anyone engaged the services of a vendor/consultant to help with digital signage and media solutions? Were not just looking for someone to sell us screens, but to help plan out the installation to match our specific architectural needs and to assist in planning the feel of the media experience. One such company I have identified that does the type of work we are looking for is a company called Christie - http://www.christiedigital.com<http://www.christiedigital.com/> They have a pretty impressive list of clients - http://www.christiedigital.com/en-us/visual-solutions-case-studies/customers/pages/default.aspx But this is only one such vendors and there are many of them in existence. If anyone has had practical experience with such a vendor, or one of your colleagues has, Id appreciate your/their insight and recommendations, whether on list or off line.
