Organization
Comcast Corporation is the largest cable television provider, the 2nd largest internet service provider, and 3rd largest phone company in North America, employing over 100,000 individuals in their 300+ offices.
Display Walls
VCA constructed Comcast's 14 panel video wall on the 42nd floor and supplied the video feeds to all of the display solutions in the building. The curved wall utilizes thin, no-bezel LCD's to create the display system.
Digital Signage
The Comcast Center contains a ubiquitous digital signage network with over 1000 individual displays throughout the building and in all of the elevators. These displays are driven by a C-nario Digital Signage system, designed and implemented by VCA. Digital Signage is one of the main components of the Comcast Center's 2-floor Cafeteria space, with daily menu changes all controlled by C-nario systems. A custom C-nario program also pulls content from Comcast's cable network to feed MPEG-2 streams throughout the building. The system also provides employees with the latest company news and travel advisories for their commute home.
