Now that you have downloaded the full LobbyCaster software, next, most professionals in the sign industry order up a display for their own lobby / shop. This consists of a commercial display screen, a LobbyCaster solid state media player, and optionally, a dongle for wireless transmission. The most common screen size ordered is a 42″ or 43″ commercial screen, with the LPM70 media player. With these two basic elements, you are ready to make some fantastic demo layouts to show your clients!
Just connect your media player to your screen with the enclosed HDMI cable. Connect one of your computers through your Local Area Network to your media player (Ethernet or optionally, via wireless dongle), and start building your cool designs, examples of building directories, menu boards, pet adoption displays, florist shop promos, bank messaging, and more! You’ll be using your sign design skills and making impressive displays in no time! Need a jump-start? Select a layout template to modify to your liking!
Ready for the sizzle that no one else can deliver? See the Cinema Select mini infomercial segments, and the full “movie” built for popular vertical markets! Pre-formatted “chapters” have been built for popular industries, and a full “movie” is 12-16 chapters bundled into 3-4 Acts, each with a music selection for the music bed, and voice-over included! With each Act, you can add your choice of music from our vast library! Every movie and Act includes a gorgeous Wrapper for free, and is watermarked with the client’s logo, making this a very customized product! See Step 7 for Pro Tips!
Pro Tips: Now you have received the video Acts – maybe even the full industry movie – each Act featuring 3-4 industry chapters complete with voice-over and music bed, with a Wrapper of client’s choosing. Place these in a video zone up to 960 pixels wide by 540 pixels high. (Optimum size is 854 pixels by 480 pixels.) These also fit comfortably in Portrait Mode displays. Create a slideshow background (start with a free template from LobbyPOP!) featuring specials of the week or any messages, and you have a powerful advertising display!
