CSN looked for a digital media solution that would support a wide variety of eye-catching content,
including video, static displays, and scrolling information. Ease of use was paramount, both for
people who submitted digital content and the IT staff who scheduled distribution. The IT group
wanted a centralized system that would let them add content once and then easily control where
and when it was distributed.

The CSN IT group introduced the Cisco Digital Media System in spring 2007, replacing the digital
signage installation from another vendor that had never operated properly. Today, multimedia
content is published on more than 60 flat-panel screens and distributed to all three campuses and
the college’s remote academic centers. The digital signs are connected in areas where students or
faculty tend to congregate, such as lab entrances, coffee shops, tutoring areas, elevator waiting
areas, campus entrances, and common areas for faculty.

To submit content to be displayed on the signs, faculty, staff, and students go to a website and
attach video, images, and text. CSN’s multimedia developer manages content scheduling and
distribution through the Cisco Digital Media Manager, an easy-to-use web-based content publishing
tool. “I use a simple web interface to schedule when and where content is displayed,” says Eric
