CustomLink offers different digital signage options depending on how and where the display will be used.

Some displays are designed for wall mounting, some are floor-standing and easy to move around, and some can work with your existing TV using a digital signage box.

The right option depends on your installation location, screen orientation, available space, viewing distance, and the type of content you want to display.

A digital signage box can be connected to your existing TV, allowing it to be used as a digital signage screen.

This can be a practical option for businesses that already have a suitable TV installed and want to display promotions, menus, announcements, videos, or rotating slideshow content.

Depending on the setup, the digital signage box may support remote content updates, slideshow scheduling, videos, and different screen layouts.

Wall-mounted digital signage is commonly used in landscape view and is suitable for wide promotional banners, menus, service displays, announcements, videos, and rotating slideshow content.

It is commonly used in retail shops, restaurants, cafés, salons, receptions, gyms, showrooms, waiting areas, and service counters.

Wall-mounted signage can also be installed vertically in portrait mode where suitable. This may be useful for welcome screens, product promotions, service lists, pricing displays, and advertising near entrances or walkways.

Floor-standing digital signage is usually used in portrait mode and is suitable for entry areas, shopping centres, retail stores, salons, restaurants, showrooms, and promotional display areas.

The floor-standing units are supplied with a base, including wheels, so they can be moved around more easily when needed. This makes them suitable for businesses that may want to reposition the display for different promotions, events, entrance layouts, or customer traffic flow.

Even though the display is vertical, it can still show 16:9 landscape slide banners by using split-screen layouts through compatible signage software.

LED poster displays are similar to floor-standing signage displays in how they can be positioned and used, but they use a different display technology.

LED poster displays use SMD Triad LED technology, with a fine pixel pitch, high brightness, and strong contrast. This makes them suitable for high-impact advertising, promotional displays, retail spaces, showrooms, shopping centres, and other customer-facing areas.

LED poster displays can also be interconnected to create a larger display, making them suitable for businesses that want a bigger and more eye-catching digital signage setup.

The examples on this page include landscape, portrait, and multi-grid layout examples.

Both landscape and portrait layouts can be used for slide banners, videos, promotions, menus, announcements, service displays, notices, and other customer-facing content.

Landscape layouts are commonly used for 16:9 wide displays, including wall-mounted digital signage displays and digital signage boxes connected to an existing TV.

Portrait layouts are commonly used for floor-standing displays, LED poster displays, vertically mounted wall displays, and digital signage boxes connected to an existing TV installed vertically. Wall-mounted TVs or wall-mounted digital signage displays can also be installed vertically where suitable, allowing them to use portrait layouts.

Where supported by the signage model and software, both landscape and portrait displays can also be divided into multiple grid sections. Each section can behave like its own display area, allowing different images, videos, banners, menus, promotions, notices, or slideshows to play independently on the same screen.

Hikvision HikCentral FocSign can be used to manage, schedule, and remotely update digital signage content.

For smaller setups, Hikvision provides free use for up to 5 devices, making it suitable for many small business signage applications.

Loading content onto Hikvision digital signage generally requires the finished content to be uploaded through HikCentral FocSign. Depending on the signage model and setup, FocSign can support images, videos, templates, scheduled playback, remote publishing, and multi-section screen layouts.

With FocSign, the display can be divided into multiple layout sections. Each section can show different content independently, such as images, videos, promotional slides, menus, notices, or rotating advertisements.

HikCentral FocSign needs to be run on a suitable PC. CustomLink can also supply a suitable PC where required.

CustomLink can guide customers through the practical setup and use of their digital signage system. This may include setting up the display orientation, uploading images or videos, creating slideshow content, setting up screen layouts, scheduling content, making basic remote changes, and showing customers how to update content themselves.

The content can be supplied by you or your graphic designer. This may include logos, colours, fonts, photos, business details, opening hours, promotional text, service information, pricing, menu items, images, videos, or other business content.

CustomLink is not a graphic design agency and does not provide professional design services. However, where assistance with simple content updates or template-based layouts is required, we can help apply customer-supplied content into suitable template layouts, including Canva templates where appropriate.

Where remote access is available, CustomLink may be able to assist with configuration and updates without needing to attend site.

CustomLink is not just an online product seller. We focus on helping customers choose suitable systems, prepare them properly, and support them after purchase.

As a Hikvision dealer, CustomLink can supply quality Hikvision digital signage products for business use.

Discounted pricing may be available when digital signage is purchased together with a larger security or automation package, including CCTV camera systems, alarm systems, access control systems, intercom systems, security and automation systems, or complete business security packages.

This allows businesses to upgrade both their security and customer-facing advertising display at the same time, with one supplier helping coordinate system selection, supply, setup, configuration guidance, and support.

CustomLink provides Brisbane-based on-site installation options where available, together with Australia-wide supply and remote support.

CustomLink can assist with practical signage content setup, template selection, basic layout support, and applying customer-supplied content into suitable templates.

However, we are not a graphic design agency and do not provide advanced graphic design, branding, copywriting, illustration, logo design, or full marketing campaign design as part of standard signage supply.

Customers who require professional branding, advanced custom artwork, or complete marketing design should engage a qualified graphic designer.
