Multimedia Stele
Digital advertising steles (also known as multimedia steles) are freestanding enclosures with integrated screens for use in reception areas, stores, at trade shows and in public spaces. This page describes how to use viewneo players in a stele.
Variants
Section titled “Variants”There are three basic variants:
- Without player — The stele contains only the screen. A viewneo player must be installed separately.
- With integrated player from the manufacturer — Some stele manufacturers supply a built-in player. In this case, the viewneo Player App can be installed as an APK.
- With a monitor with integrated player — Some screens (e.g. Philips D-Line) have an integrated Android player on which the viewneo Player App can be installed.
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”Ventilation
Section titled “Ventilation”Screens in closed stele enclosures quickly generate high temperatures. The stele must have built-in ventilation:
- Top: exhaust for warm air
- Bottom: intake of cooler outside air through ventilation slots
Space for the Player
Section titled “Space for the Player”There must be enough space to mount the player. The player should be positioned in the lower section of the stele — below the screens.
