All,
First time responding to this listserv. At the MIM we are looking at implementing a typical 'digital signage' approach where we have the playback devices co-located with the monitors. The devices that we are looking at implementing are from CELabs (http://www.celabs.net) and we are testing both the HD300zx as well as the MP400A. Both are networkable and able to be administrated and updated with content through the network. Take a look at the specs as they are very flexible and price friendly products. We are also using a custom mounting solution from Chief Manufacturing that works well as a containment unit for the player, cables and even a powerstrip. It also is the mount for the video monitor itself (there are models for both large and small monitors). I would be happy to outline more of the solution including our format selection for the videos itself. Thanks. Mark McCauley | Director of Technology | MIM-Musical Instrument Museum 8550 S.
