Digital Building Directories

Digital Building Directories

Digital building directories are electronic signage systems that showcase multiple businesses within a single, organized structure, protecting sightlines, strengthening the property’s brand image, and improving traffic flow and safety.

Guide visitors with confidence using professionally designed interactive touchscreen or “slide show” systems.  For multi-tenant property managers, digital building directory systems provide additional revenue opportunities through ads while helping your tenants sell more.

We create clear, modern, and durable directories for offices, campuses, hospitals, malls, and multi-tenant buildings in Evansville, IN, that match your layout, tenant mix, and brand style.  We can mount your digital building directory on walls and in freestanding kiosks.

We can also integrate nearly every kind of traditional signage with your digital building directory.

Readability, Accessibility, and Compliance

A well-designed directory system is easy to read at a glance.  We use high-contrast layouts, legible type, logical hierarchy, and intuitive icons.  For accessibility, we follow ADA-friendly best practices, including tactile text and Braille on companion panels where required.  The result: a frictionless wayfinding experience for everyone entering your property in Evansville, IN.

Digital Building Directory Options and Performance Specs

We tailor each digital directory system we sell to meet every client’s unique location, code, and connectivity requirements, as well as their budget.

• Size and Pixel Pitch: We will help you determine the optimum size and pixel pitch of your new digital directory based on the viewing distance and the speed at which your viewers will travel as they see the sign.

The higher the speed and the longer the viewing distance, the bigger the digital directory must be.

A digital directory’s pixel pitch is the distance between LEDs.  The closer the viewing distance, the tighter the pixel pitch must be to maintain resolution.

• Refresh Rate: High-resolution video content requires higher refresh rates to ensure smooth, latency-free content delivery.
• Brightness Control: The maximum brightness of a typical non-commercial use flatscreen TV is 2000 Nits.  The EMCs we provide reach up to 10,000 nits, which is more than enough to maintain readability when the sun backlighting your digital sign.  Unlike most TVs, our manufacturers design their EMCs to operate 24/7/365 in the harshest weather conditions we experience in Evansville, IN.  Our EMCs feature sensors that optimize brightness for various ambient light conditions, saving you money while ensuring compliance with local codes and minimizing complaints from neighbors, as well as distractions to motorists and pedestrians.

Mounting Options

Depending on the desired mounting location, we can install digital building directories anywhere one can install a traditional sign, such as:

• Building-mounted: Mounted to your building’s interior and exterior walls, your new digital directory provides your visitors and employees with clear, easy-to-understand navigation instructions, while reliably withstanding wind, heat, rain, snow, and ice in Evansville, IN.
• Projection: Mounted perpendicularly to a building and projects outward to capture attention from passing pedestrians.
• Monuments: Freestanding architectural digital directories installed at building entrances, and along busy corridors create a strong first impression that reflects the quality of your property and brand.

Enclosure Materials and Finishes

Our fabricators utilize metals such as coated structural steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, each of which is best suited to its respective application.  Metal finish options range from automotive-grade paint to powder coating, as well as specialty finishes such as plating, and various textures including bead blasting, sand blasting, brushing, and polishing.  To match your facility’s architecture, we will fabricate your sign mounting system from stone, brick, concrete, stucco, and wood.  We use durable materials, hardware, and adhesives to withstand the weather conditions in Evansville, IN, thereby maximizing performance and minimizing maintenance costs.

Content Management

Let us show you how easy it is to manage your digital signage systems with modern, easy-to-use, cloud-hosted content management systems.  Depending on their permissions, your staff can create, upload, and schedule content across multiple sign systems from a single console.  Preview the content on your computer to ensure it appears as intended before uploading it to your digital signs.

Connectivity

Let us conduct a site survey to determine if cellular service is available at the location where you wish to install your digital sign.  If your corporate policy prohibits cellular connections or if they are unavailable, we will work with your IT department to determine a secure connection method for your digital signage solution to your corporate network.

Code Compliance

After conducting a site survey, our team will research the proposed digital sign installation site to identify applicable codes for your project.  We will apply for the necessary permits, configure your sign’s brightness, and schedule any required inspections to ensure your project complies with code from concept to installation.

Installation

Certified crews handle site surveys, power and data runs, secure mounting, and cable management.  We configure networks (LAN/Wi-Fi/LTE), apply content safety policies, and calibrate brightness for ambient light.  Documentation covers structural, electrical, and accessibility requirements.

Care, Maintenance, Monitoring, and Ongoing Support

To protect your investment, we offer scheduled maintenance services that include cleaning and touch-up of finishes.  Our manufacturing partners stock replacement display, control, and communication modules, power supplies, and cables to minimize disruption.  To ensure proper performance, we can provide remote monitoring, scheduled health checks, and firmware updates.  We can also offer a turnkey program, where we’ll manage content calendars and refresh cycles, allowing your team to focus on more valuable tasks.
