40 screens, 1 panel,
1-click emergency

Yes. Helen, the centre manager at Westfield-style London mall, runs 40 screens (5 lobby + 12 level directories + 8 food court + 15 outdoor windows) from one panel. She updates the global directory in seconds, and the lobby videowall plays content synchronised across the 4 physical screens.

Yes. The screen at the entrance or by the lift shows "LEVEL 2 · ZARA · 30 m right · OPEN UNTIL 22:00". Update the directory when a shop moves, no need to reprint the physical map or change the directional signage.

Yes. Schedule the calendar once (kids' workshop Saturday 11:00, concert Sunday 18:00, storytelling Friday 17:00) and the screen rotates today's events automatically. Google Calendar / iCal integration if you already manage events there.

One button forces the same message across every screen ("EVACUATION · BLUE EXIT · FOLLOW STAFF") and silences scheduled content. Coordinate with PA and lights. Works even if the internet drops, with 48 h local cache.

No. Each videowall screen runs a Fire Stick or Chromecast (~£40/€40 per unit) and syncs over the network. For real 8K resolution (2×2 4K videowall) we recommend an Android TV mini-PC (~£150/€150). No certified installer, no £3,000 matrix switcher.

No commitment: cancel anytime from the panel. Prices shown are net; we add 20 % UK VAT, 21 % EU VAT, or reverse-charge with your EU VAT-ID. The Network plan €199 covers 50 screens — for larger malls we discuss Enterprise.

The Network plan covers up to 50 screens for €199 a month, with no watermark and no minimum term. That is roughly €4 per screen. You add a player per screen once, from €39 for a Chromecast. Traditional vendors charge €25 to €60 per screen per month, so the same installation runs past €1,000.

A screen inside the centre, not visible from a public highway, generally falls outside advertisement control. A screen facing the street is an advertisement under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007: some shopfront displays have deemed consent under Schedule 3, within limits on size and position, while others need express consent from the local planning authority. Illuminated and changing displays get looked at more closely. Listed buildings and conservation areas are stricter still, and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own regulations. Ask your local planning authority — we are not planning consultants.

Yes. You create an account per unit that only sees its assigned screens. The bakery updates its own breakfast offer while centre management keeps the directory, the opening hours and the emergency overlay. Nobody has to be the switchboard for sixty shops.

Often yes, but the lease usually regulates what faces the common area: brightness, motion, size, sometimes a requirement to match the centre's own scheme. None of that restricts a screen inside the unit. One email to centre management before buying is the difference between an installation approved in advance and one that has to come down after a complaint.

No — bigger, brighter and better placed always wins in a corridor. What a tenant screen does that the centre's never will is speak about one shop: what is in stock, today's offer, what the person queueing is waiting for. Narrow beats loud when the other side owns the loudspeaker.

Where people stop, not where they pass. In the corridor someone crosses your frontage in about two seconds, walking towards something else — enough for a word and a number. Inside, the same person is standing still and deciding, and that is where a longer message works.
