Case Study: University of Minnesota enhances campus communication with Carousel Digital Signage

University of Minnesota - Customer Case Study

The University of Minnesota sought a scalable digital signage solution to unify communications across its five campuses. The challenge was to create a decentralized network that could be managed by numerous departments with varying technical skills, while also integrating critical emergency alert systems. They chose Carousel Digital Signage software from Tightrope Media Systems to address these needs.

Carousel implemented a multi-seat, decentralized network that empowered individual departments to create and manage their own local content. The solution also automated emergency alerts via the CAP protocol and integrated dynamic data feeds, such as live bus schedules. The results were significant, with the network growing to 275 displays and fundamentally changing campus communication culture. Carousel’s solution provided a platform for high-quality content creation without requiring specialized skills and allowed for future expansion through integrations like Apple TV.
