Talk to Panasonic about your digital signage plans
Building a fully integrated, high-performance digital signage network that meets your goals
and objectives requires high-level planning and flawless execution. Panasonic, through its
worldwide resources, acquisition and testing capabilities, is able to offer a higher degree of
full compatibility and performance. By bundling the best-matched, performance-certified
components, we can offer cost advantages and economies of scale, in addition to guarantees
you won’t find anywhere else. Contact us to understand our Panasonic Finance Solutions for
flexible payment structures that fit your budget.

Your single-source provider for
integrated end-to-end solutions
Panasonic offers a wide range of Digital Signage Solutions, from all-inclusive bundled
solutions for simple deployments, to custom-designed enterprise networks comprising
hundreds of locations, thousands of displays — all designed to maximize your ROI.
No matter what your messaging objectives, Panasonic provides the world-class hardware,
software, installation and support to achieve your goals. We are uniquely qualified — with
our network of best-in-breed products and services — to deliver greater efficiencies, true
scalability and unmatched value for the planning, deployment and ongoing operation of
your digital signage system.
The Panasonic difference — full system accountability and warranty
For large, custom-designed enterprise networks, Panasonic Digital Signage Solutions
have a dedicated project manager as a single point of contact with full responsibility
for your system. Help is available 24/7/365 via the Web and a dedicated hotline to
ensure performance of every component in your digital signage network.
Dedicated technicians provide remote diagnostics and troubleshooting, along with
remote rebooting and repair capabilities. There is onsite technical troubleshooting
for repair/replacement and swap service. Panasonic warrants all equipment and
software — including all third-party elements — for total accountability and
mission-critical support.
Digital Content
Whether your goal is to promote, inform, alert, educate
or entertain, Panasonic has the content management
resources to achieve your objective. Our partnerships
with the leading names in digital signage software
and media players let us bring you the latest, most
innovative, highest performing applications on the
market. Whether incorporating still images, full-motion
graphics, broadcast-quality video or RSS feeds, we
provide the customized capabilities that deliver the
results you want.
Advertising/Promotion
From real-time messaging on specific product points
and pricing that can be changed or altered instantly,
to messages that can be updated by region, store,
availability and more, you’re in control. We’ve got some
of the most powerful messaging delivery architecture
available — with advanced reporting that lets you track
and confirm advertising schedules. Optional tools are
available for Anonymous Analytics that allow network
tracking of customer response to specific ads without a
persistent record of the actual person being reported.
Information/Notification
Keeping your audiences informed and advised of
alerts and status updates has become an increasingly
important function of digital signage. Panasonic can
let you deliver up-to-the-minute information that
notifies visitors, staff and others in real time. Manage
expectations, direct crowds and keep lines moving
quickly and orderly.
Live Video/Entertainment
Wherever people gather — from bars and restaurants,
to transportation hubs, medical centers and more
— broadcast TV and customized programming can
engage target audiences. Whether it’s increasing the
time customers spend in a business or decreasing
perceived wait time, you have an attentive, receptive
audience. Onsite promotion of menu items, services
and third-party advertising can all be featured.
Wayfinding/Product Information
Accessing information interactively through touch screen
technology is being adopted everywhere. Conference
centers, campuses, hospitals, government agencies
and more are using digital signage to direct, answer
common questions and provide continuously updated
information. The benefits are reduced frustration,
freed-up staff and increased sales.

Digital Signage Displays
Panasonic offers the widest selection of digital signage displays available. From 42- to 152-inch Full HD
plasmas to semi-outdoor, water and dust proof LCDs that can operate in temperatures down to -4ºF,
no one offers more ways to get your message seen than Panasonic. Add operational advantages, like
brilliant 700 cd/m2brightness ratings for easy viewing in brightly lit spaces, plus design advantages like
slim, narrow bezels and rear speakers, vertical and horizontal mounting options and tamper-resistant
control locks — and it’s clear why Panasonic is the digital signage leader.
Panasonic SLOT2.0 architecture on selected LCDs and plasmas greatly expands the displays’
range of digital signage applications. SLOT2.0-equipped displays allow you to mount a variety of
powerful plug-in PC boards to suit your application in a fully contained Digital Signage Solution.
Touch Screen Overlay Panel
Interactive digital signage solutions are offered through touch panel options on select displays.
Multi-touch overlay screens allow for accurate, reliable touch response for a variety of applications.
These include interactive kiosks, public wayfinders and interactive outdoor advertising.
Digital Signage Projectors
Panasonic has several projectors capable of delivering digital signage solutions that allow
100-, 200- and 300-inch or even larger oversized images to come to life with dynamic vibrancy.
Depending on the model, Panasonic large venue and installation projectors deliver up to 16,000
lumens of brightness — making them ideal for digital signage applications aimed at audiences
in the hundreds or even thousands. Many Panasonic projectors are equipped with multi-lamp
optical systems, allowing 24/7 operation for uninterrupted advertisement or message exposure.
Basic Signage Solution
Designed typically for a single location,
over a limited number of screens and
managed locally by a single user for
on-demand content or traditional playlist
updates — eliminating the expense of
a server-based solution.
Applications: Small retail, mobile or
standalone signage.
Complex Signage Solution
Designed for multiple locations, many
displays and projectors are all managed
centrally by a small team of operators for
content distribution and remote management.
These solutions run from a central location
supporting multiple screens from a single
user interface. The server solutions can either
be hosted in the local server farm or remotely
from the Panasonic server farm as Software
as a Service Solution (SaaS). These optional
configurations allow flexibility in support
of various business models, capital and
operational expense considerations, and
for sensitivity to IT security concerns.
Applications: Out-of-home media networks,
food services, corporate, education, financial,
government, hospitality and retail networks.
