[vcf-midatlantic] Wall exhibit for our hallway

[Martin A Flynn]

Evan,

Take a look at the brightsign.biz website.  OMARC will be using their 
LS442 with a single large format display in the 9116 lobby, paired with 
a motion detector and selector buttons for content.

The Brightsign HD1022 will likely do what you want over multiple 
displays.

Touchscreens are also an option:
