Introduction
The Mvix digital signage platform is driving live communications at New Life Christian School and its associated ministries in Northwest St. Louis. The digital signage network stretches out across five locations within the school and chapel campus. The digital signage is managed by the administration office. The network empowers communication with students and parishioners by sharing announcements, live sermons, event listings, and community photos.
New Life Christian School was founded in 1974 as a ministry of New Life Pentecostal Church. Furthermore, the school serves roughly 200 students annually between kindergarten and 12th-grade levels. The school is unique in their individualized approach to teaching, which is most apparent in programs such as their Ignitia Curriculum.
The Challenge
NLCS wanted a communications platform that would inform, connect, and engage students of all ages and grade levels across the school’s campus. Additionally, they needed signage to support the local church and ministries on the weekends. The school previously used paper announcements on cork boards located across the campus. Unfortunately, logistics and resources needed to properly keep all of the boards updated proved to be too arduous a task for administrators to handle on a regular basis.
Additionally, students and congregation members often overlooked the announcements because they were plain and unappealing. Because of this, NLCS was interested in pursuing a multimedia platform that would appeal to both students and the congregation. Although these were the primary goals of the project, NLCS later decided that a solution that could also offer live video feeds would be desirable for showing video streams of chapel sermons. The system also needed to be managed remotely from the administration office to control the content across five designated locations.
The Solution
The Mvix platform provided the flexibility the school needed to effectively communicate with students and congregation members alike. NLCS selected five different devices for their needs, so that each media player could provide something unique. With the Xhibit Lite, the school has access to the standard Mvix experience and the cloud-based XhibitSignage software. The software platform is equipped with the HTML app, allowing administrators to pull in content from their website home page for displaying school and church event listings and announcements.
With Xhibit Live, the school can show live video streams of church services as they happen. The screens connected to the Live device are in the main lobby of the church, and are replicated in other locations throughout the school. With the Xhibit 4K solution, administrators can display crisp-looking UHD video and photo content from the software platform. This allows them to share content that visually pops and highlights images that are captured at school events. All of the devices are remotely managed from the administration office, though administrators can edit and publish content from any device, anywhere, via the cloud-based software.
The Results
NLCS has made its student and church communications efforts more efficient and engaging by using high-quality multimedia content. Having the ability to remotely manage, edit, and distribute content across the five locations instantaneously is a great relief for the administrative team. This is saving them time and resources in getting out important announcements. They are also very impressed with the variety of media options at their disposal. In addition, they are pleased by how easy the software is to use.
