LFD - Smart Signage Projects
1. KFC
Project Description: Deployment of a One hundred and twenty three (123) units of LFD Screens across KFC Outlets nationwide.
Details: KFC Nigeria wanted to implement the same
digital signage system that is used in KFC outlets internationally. We
came to
the rescue by designing a system which comprised of a number of Signage
LFDs for
each outlet, and then interconnected the outlets to enable us management
the
content from a single portal. The deployment is setup in a way that using
a
number of intermediary content management servers, the existing reliable
network
infrastructure and content synchronization technologies, the content
displayed
on the LFDs are remotely controlled from a single location. This provides
the
customer the ability and flexibility to change any content, on any Digital
Menuboard, in any store, at any time of their choice. With this rollout
KFC now
targets a specific region with a specific product advert in real time.
2. Muller Towers
Project Description: Deployment of a 3 x 3 46 inches Video wall Solution
Details: The deployment at Mulliner Towers consist of the setup and synchronization of nine LFDs to show a single True High Definition content. This deployment know as a Videowall, allows the management of content over the network as well as locally. The synchronization of content on the LFDs was possible with the help of VideoWall processors that blend and adapt the properties of each LFD to produce the desired captivating images. The videowall can be configured to display a different content per LFD or per segment of the segment of the videowall.
3. Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL)
Project Description: Deployment of a centrally managed 3 x 3 Video wall Solution
Details: For the OOPL project, we deploy a screen in the 3 x 3 matrix formation, allowing us achieve a beautiful 16:9 widescreen display for the Pavilion/Welcome area of the Library. This project involves 9 displays each with an intelligent PC module which allows highly scalable software based content management. Portions of the videowall will display content on the Library while others may scroll news updates, live TV feeds and contents from a whole lot of other different sources. The idea is to create a highly informative and semi-interactive display to provide tourists and visitors alike information on the Library, Nigerian Culture and so on while they wait to proceed on their tour further into the Library.

The videowall was deployed to connect to a Server which is responsible for the information feeds. The deployment was also prepped to allow any individual panel in the Videowalls or the individual LFDs to show live TV feeds. A simple click of a button, immediately changes the experience of the user from one mode to another allowing for flexibility. We also employed some highly customized installation equipment to enable only to target users view the information displayed on the LFDs.
5. Diamond Bank
Project Description: Deployment of a 2 x 2 Video wall with Integrated Speakers
Details: The challenge here was to setup a 2 x 2 videowall in a boardroom that had no form of support for wall LFD installation. We employed with the use of a well-crafted and stylishly-finished premium LFD stand. This stand enables us position the VideoWall anywhere in the boardroom to the satisfaction of the client. We also integrated the VideoWall to a ceiling installed speaker system. The deployment was also configured with dummy LFD panels to ensure the active display area of the videowall is at the same level with the Boardroom Table. This ensured ergonomically compliant sitting and viewing positions for participants during meetings.
6. NNPC Data Processing Centre

11. The Ministry of Defence Abuja
The venue of this project is a Theatre Hall of 2,000 participants. A proposal was made to deploy both Audio and Visual solutions at the Auditorium to make Presentation and Speech.
It features a 5m wall retractable Screen with a 10,000 lumens ceiling mounted projector. TOA line array speakers for audio production and background music system. 24 ceiling suspended Omni-directional condenser microphones were installed for participants to make speech when required.
Presentation is made from an iPad and Laptop wirelessly unto the projector for display on the screen. The entire system is controlled with an Installed Media Link Controller (MLC) which enables a user to power on and off the projector; which in turns brings down the screen seamlessly. With the Media Link wall controller, sources are selected to be displayed on the screen, while participants can dialogue while seated using the installed ceiling suspended omni-directional microphones. The MLC also controls the audio signal being sent into the speakers either from the Laptop or from the microphones.
Five (5) units of 65 inches screen were installed for extended visual display of contents from presentation to other viewers at different locations. Out of this is a Motorized TV Lift installed on the platform to serve Delegates on the Podium for rear viewing of contents displayed.
All these were integrated with Multichannel amplifiers, receivers, modulators, Media Link switchers which enable a swift switching of sources from one to another; programmed with the Media Link Controller to deliver the solution so required.
Audio Solution Overview
The system amplifier manufactured by TOA (VM-3240VA) is a multifunctional device with audio inputs for background music and extra 3 inputs for audio signals. There are 6 speaker output selectors which will enable an operator zone signals to various floors needing specific information at a particular time.
Signals will be connected into the main unit as audio sources and sent to the speakers in all the zones. It could be from a CD player, iPod, Tuner, pre-recorded music from a PC or iPad. These sources will be installed in the rack at the Central control room.
The system permits a general-purpose broadcast and also an emergency broadcast based on EN60849 Standard which gives pre-recorded voice instructions in an emergency situation. Emergency broadcast can be made from the microphone attached to the system or from the remote microphone RM-200M with active buttons.
The system also features the surveillance function which automatically checks the system for failures and then alert for attention.
Speakers integrated with this system are also manufactured by TOA. It is a wide dispersion flush mount ceiling speakers delivering a well-balanced audio production without treble attenuation (minimal high frequency roll off) over an expanded listening area. It is designed to blend into ceilings with a smooth, low-profile design made with metal "back can" enclosure for the speaker rear.
