Information Services has partnered with Nanonation to provide a full featured solution for Digital Signage. A department can create its own digital signage network and manage multiple screens for different locations through one easy web-based interface known as CommandPoint. 

If you are interested in setting up digital signage for your area/department, please email DigitalSignage@depaul.edu​, and a tech specialist will schedule an appointment with you to go over your needs with you.

What is required to implement Digital Signage?

The basic requirements are a TV screen/monitor, a player (departments can use existing workstations if they meet the system's requirements) and a Nanonation license.

What kind of costs should be expected to begin using the Commandpoint solution?

The costs can vary depending on the number of displays, what type of equipment is used for the display, and where the displays are located. 

• One Time Setup Costs - Signage setup may need to be planned for, including network cabling and power outlets, depending on where the unit will be located.   These hookup costs can vary greatly depending on the building and location.  Information Services will work with you to obtain a quote from Facility Operations so that you can understand how much these cabling and hookup costs will be.   
• License Fees - Each display will require a license, which Information Services will cover.
• Player - Information Services will pay for the player if departments don't have an existing approved player. The department will need to provide a video display and Information Services will assist in obtaining a quote for a display/monitor if they don't have one.

Is any training available for the Commandpoint product?

The vendor has created an online user guide -  Commandpoint User Guide (nanonation.net) to get started and a training video that will allow your department to manage your signs
