Intelligent Autonomous Screens
Screens to Signs is a complete digital signage system from JM Marketing — the player, the dashboard, and the support that keeps it running. We build and test your screen before it ships. You plug it in. We do the rest from here.
Menu boards, waiting rooms, shop floors, lobbies, drive-thrus. Screens that look professional, change themselves, and do not need somebody standing at them.
Informative, weather aware and customizable, a screen can run 24/7 and carry your advertising. It is a visual tool that puts your products in front of people while they are already in your business — which is where impulse buys come from.
Put a screen where people wait or gather and sell the time on it. The whole advertising side is built in.
A Screens to Signs screen is not one picture at a time. Your video, live weather for that screen’s own town, local radar, the time and date, and a strip of sponsor logos can all be on at once — each in its own panel, each on its own schedule.
There is no software for you to install and no setup wizard. We build your player here, load your layouts and your content, and test it before it ships.
On a wired connection, power and the screen is the whole job. If it needs wireless, your contact gets a one-time PIN to join it to the network, and that is the last thing anybody on site has to do.
Your screen can send a command out of a serial or USB cable, or over the network, to equipment wired to it — a relay board, a controller, a sign driver. It can also show the room what that equipment reports back: a lamp and a word, in the colors your engineer chose. If the equipment stops answering, the screen says so instead of leaving a stale reading on display.
The screen carries commands your engineer wrote and shows what came back. It is not a safety device and must not be used as one.
Live National Weather Service warnings for each screen’s own location. Depending on how serious the warning is, it either takes the screen or rides along the top. Any screen can opt out.
A message raised on the dashboard is on every screen in about five seconds. There is also a way in for a radio station’s own alert equipment.
QR codes with your logo in the middle — and a QR panel that changes with whatever is playing, so each advert shows its own code. Codes download for print and anywhere else you need them.
A live view of any screen from our office. We can take a screenshot, restart the display, reboot the machine, change its network, or get onto the machine itself — without anybody driving to the site.
A layout studio: panels, text, pictures, slideshows, video, clocks, countdowns, logo strips, live web pages and tickers.
Numbered layers, opacity, backgrounds, washes, entrance animations, content placement inside any piece, and custom fonts.
A built-in titler with ready-made lower thirds, title cards, corner bugs and readability scrims — the sort of thing you would find in professional video editing software.
Prices, specials and schedules pulled live from a spreadsheet you edit yourself.
Playlists, campaigns, and scheduling by day, time and date range.
If you have people waiting or gathering — a restaurant, a gym, a waiting room — a screen in that space can carry advertising. Screens to Signs has the whole advertising side built in: host venues, advertisers, bundles, bookings, and proof that a spot actually played, which an advertiser can be shown.
A screen is only worth having if it is on and showing the right thing. Every Screens to Signs screen reports in, so we can see whether it is actually on, and if one goes down we hear about it.
Screens to Signs is built and run by JM Marketing: the screens, the servers and the advertising side. That is why it does the things that matter after installation day.
Tell us what you want on the screen and where it goes, and we will put a quote together. We build and run the platform ourselves, so the person you talk to is the one who built it.
