Kiosk & Media Network
What is Media Net?
Media Net is a smart multi-site system of touch screen kiosks and media displays with complete remote content management. A perfect solution for shopping malls and retail chains, where administrators can easily manage animated advertisements in their stores or shop windows and provide product and service information to customers using the interactive touch screen kiosks and media displays.
How it works?
Media Net is comprised of a few different software modules and hardware components:
Software modules
• Touch screen application (client-side)
Can be used for browsing product catalogues, service listings, directories, help and information points and multiple other uses in shopping malls, retail and public spaces. The application can be integrated with
different components for e-commerce (payment gateways), self-check out, barcode scanners and many
others.
• Media display application (client-side)
Displays static, animated or video advertisements (commercials) on the site's LCD/Plasma screens.
• Live update application (client-side)
Constantly checks and downloads updates from the remote server and replaces the necessary files on the
local server, which updates the content on the touch screen kiosk and media display applications.
• Content management application (server-side)
Allows the users to manage and update the content displayed on the site's media screens
and touch screen kiosks. It provides features such as individual or multi-site management, control of
the site's hardware configuration, creation of groups and zones, live text updates for the media screens,
creation of playlists and schedules, update of search terms for the kiosk application and many other functions.
• Database (server-side)
Contains the content and settings for the sites.
Hardware components
• Touch screens
Monitors which allow for touch screen user input.
• Media screens
LCD / Plasma screens where the advertisement or informational media is displayed.
• Local server
On site computer, connected to the touch screen kiosks and the media display units. All the client-side
software is installed and runs on this computer
• Barcode scanner (optional)
For use in applications which display information when a product is scanned, such as price, availability,
location and many others. Other uses could include self-checkout and credit card payments, used in
conjunction with a payment gateway and a credit card reader components.

We can create the ads for you
New Media Lab has over a decade of experience in the design and development of promotional multimedia and marketing campaigns. We can work with our client's existing advertising agency if required, to ensure that the produced material from us is consistent with the client's corporate branding and style.

Reach 1000s with a click of a button
Media Net makes it very easy to convey a message to a multitude of people at no extra cost. If the system's media screens are installed at locations with lots of foot traffic (e.g. shop windows, shopping malls etc.), it's easy to reach a target audience with a powerful message using dynamic media content.

We make sure the system is maintained and upgraded regularly by our staff which prevents any possible blackouts and loss of data.

If for some reason we currently don't cover a location, new servers can be installed on demand. This would depend on the amount of sites the client wants to service with Media Net.
