ABOUT THE CUSTOMER
The project was initiated by the Hellenic Organization of Cultural Resources Development (Ο.Δ.Α.Π.), which operates under the Ministry of Culture.
By investing in the upgrade of the nation’s museums, monuments, and archaeological complexes, they seek to unlock the economic potential of Greece’s heritage and deliver better services to millions of annual visitors.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
Ο.Δ.Α.Π. launched an open tender to develop and implement digital interactive services across Greece’s historic landmarks. The initiative aimed to help visitors navigate and gain better access to information about cultural sites, events, and services.
The project scope comprised the installation of digital signage displays supported by a comprehensive management system.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
The organization planned to procure 55″ or larger portrait displays with a 9:16 aspect ratio, brightness of 2,000 cd/m² or higher, and a minimum resolution of 1080×1920.
As the devices were intended to operate outdoors, they also required an enclosure protected against dust and water, a vandal‑resistant construction with sensors for hardware and environmental monitoring, and support for 24/7 operation.

DIGITAL SERVICES
Under the tender requirements, the displays were to be delivered with software enabling remote management across all units, media content creation, and playback scheduling.
The project’s objective went beyond simply providing tourists with information. The customer envisioned a unified digital environment that would complement the physical space, enabling visitors to engage more deeply with its cultural and historical significance through interactive guides, virtual tours, and other digital resources.

OUR SOLUTION
To meet the customer’s requirements, we proposed an end‑to‑end solution that included deploying Prestigio Solutions 55‑inch outdoor totems with integrated PSMPC105 digital media players, all connected to the DISPL content management system.
The first units have already been installed near the Acropolis of Athens, the most iconic monument of ancient civilization and a major tourist attractions welcoming more than 3.5 million visitors annually.

55″ OUTDOOR TOTEM
The 55‑inch portrait display, featuring a brightness of 2,500 cd/m² and a maximum resolution of 4K UHD, remains clearly visible even in bright Greek sunlight and makes content easy to notice from a distance, which is particularly important in high‑traffic locations.
By contrast, the enclosure’s minimalist design does not draw attention away from its surroundings, allowing it to integrate naturally into both modern urban environments and historic quarters.

The device’s robust construction is designed for operation in public spaces and certified to international standards.
The highest IK10 impact‑resistance rating safeguards internal components from accidental or intentional physical damage, while the IP55 rating confirms protection against dust and water ingress.
Stable operation in any weather is also supported by built‑in heating and cooling systems, with the latter being particularly critical in Athens, where even nighttime temperatures often stay above +30°C.

DIGITAL MEDIA PLAYER PSMPC105
The integrated PSMPC105 digital media player, powered by an Intel® Core™ i5 processor, supports stable display performance and continuous content playback. With Intel® Iris® Xe graphics, high‑resolution videos and animations play smoothly without lag or freezing.
Windows 11 provides greater flexibility for integration with various IT infrastructures. Meanwhile, Wi‑Fi 6 delivers high‑speed connectivity and efficient bandwidth allocation, which is particularly important in busy public spaces with dozens of devices connected to the network simultaneously.

DISPL SOFTWARE
The entire digital signage network is centrally controlled through the DISPL intelligent content management system.
Administrators can group screens by location, set individual playback schedules, roll out content remotely, and track device status — all from a single account and within minutes.
Using the integrated no‑code editor, teams can quickly design custom templates for video, animation, and static content — such as banners with QR codes linking to Hellenic Heritage virtual tours, digital guides, and podcasts, as shown in our photo.
