Digital Signage

• All slides must in 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. These can be in Landscape or Portrait Format
  
  

*Note: There are separate playlists for portrait displays (PVAC) and landscape (everywhere else)

• Slides must be in the correct format: .JPG, .PNG, .PPTX (powerpoint), .PDF, or .MP4 (video)

• Slides should be designed at a 4K resolution (3840x2160) with a DPI of 72. Templates are provided with this preset. You cannot add a slide that is not in a 1080p or 4k format

• Sound from slideshows or movies is not permitted

*Note: There may be exceptions for department specific displays or specific displays during special events

• Captions must be present on any public facing slide containing audio or speech. It is a best practice and an accessibility requirement
• Reach players do not play separate caption/subtitle files. Captions must be burned-in for any such content

• Slides must have a defined start and end date. For events, slides may run up to 1 month before the event start and will stop on the event end date

• Some best practices:
• Slides should be easy to read; limit text and use a large font
• Colors and fonts should be kept "simple" for readability's sake
• Slides must include relevant details; dates, times, locations, QR code, etc.
