X2O Media powers digital video wall at Novus International headquarters
November 16, 2009
X2O Media today announced that Novus International is using its Xpresenter digital signage platform to create and display content on a digital video wall located near the main entrance of the company's new St. Charles, Mo., global headquarters. The wall comprises nine 46-inch monitors that create a visual representation of Novus' corporate identity for customers, partners, and employees. Novus is also using Xpresenter to power a single monitor at another entrance that displays updated information for employees.
Novus International provides health and nutrition products for livestock and companion animals. In 2008, the company built a 4,200-square-meter, "green" (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Platinum-certified) international headquarters with state-of-the-art design and structural features.
In February, Novus approached X2O Media, along with systems integrator Innovative Technology Group (ITG) of St. Louis, Mo., to develop the digital signage network, which was completed in June.
The wall's nineSamsungflat-panel monitors, arranged three-by-three in landscape mode, are configured with the three monitors on the left and three on the bottom displaying continually updated information such as stock and commodities quotes, international weather conditions, business news and Novus' product logos.
The remaining four monitors, which form a square, are integrated to display still images from the countries where Novus operates, as well as video footage from recent events inside and outside the United States.
The single-monitor sign provides frequently updated information for employees such as traffic and weather reports, fitness center hours, menus for the cafeteria and even St. Louis Cardinals baseball scores.
