C-nario installs signage at Shanghai Airport

C-nario, through its Singapore office, was selected by JCDecaux Momentum Shanghai Airport Advertising Company as the technological platform provider and as the project's prime contractor, following an evaluation process, which included reviewing products from several digital signage companies. DVI Solutions, a Singapore-based company specializing in a-v products, services and installations, with offices in Shanghai, was the local subcontractor.

C-nario provided its player systems (hardware and software) for delivering 250 concurrent targeted and synchronized content channels to any number, size, resolution, or arrangement of screens in both airports. So far, C-nario manage 209 screens that have already been installed. Displays include MUPI advertising panels, video walls (including a 64-screen video wall), and TV screens. MUPI, an acronym for the French term Mobilier Urbain Pour Information (Urban Furniture for Information), is a type of sign about two square meters in size. The digital MUPI installed in Shanghai airports was designed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte for JCDecaux.

Content displayed in both airports includes advertising, announcements from the airport authority, and live TV - all in the highest pixel resolution. Some of the MUPI signs are arranged in groups, displaying the same information in a synchronized playback, allowing objects to move from screen to screen, as people move by the screens. C-nario's platform enables advertisers to upload and approve ads via the Web.
