Size & Resolution
Our digital signage is designed for Full Screen landscape (1920px x 1080px) except in Transportation Hubs where the screens display an interactive campus map. Digital signs in Transportation Hubs show the shuttle bus location and then a rotating ad slot that measures 875px x 750px.
Please note: messages formatted as an 11×17 poster or 8.5×11 poster will not work on digital signage.

File Formats
Generally ad designs should be submitted as image files such as: .jpg, .jpeg or .png.
Ads submitted in other file formats such as .pdf, .psd, .ai, .tiff, .docx, .gif, etc. will not be accepted.

Images
For maximum clarity, ensure that images are at least 72dpi when viewed at full size. Using low-resolution images will result in pixilation, distortion and a blurry effect when viewed on digital signage. Images that do not meet the minimum quality standard will not be accepted.
-
Naming Your File
Messages submitted to the digital signage system should be named by the following convention:
EXPIRATION DATE.DEPARTMENT.MESSAGE NAME
For example:
EXP12-11.SustainChamplain.Recycle Kitten -
Placement
Please specify your intended audience and where you would like your ad to appear. The Marketing Office may add your advertisement to additional screens if we feel it has broader interest than anticipated.
-
Timing
Please use the submittal form to specify when you would like your ad posted and when it should be removed.
Generally, submit your ad for placement on the digital signage system at least one week in advance of the first day you would like it to appear.
-
Playlists
A playlist is a collection of content scheduled in the Digital Signage System.
All messages submitted by campus users will be played on the General Ads Playlist which plays on main campus signage and at Lakeside.
Content for specific audiences such as Employees or Campus Visitors runs on separate playlists managed by Marketing.
Did you know?
All students have access to a shared Adobe Creative Suite license, meaning you can log into a campus computer and use the pre-installed Adobe programs on that machine.
Refusal to Publish
The Office of Marketing reserves the right to decline posting any digital signage submission we deem inappropriate. Of course, a member of the team will follow up with you to discuss why the ad was not posted.
