Helpful Hints about Composing Messages
- Use of pictures is encouraged. When using photos, be sure the photos are high-resolution. Completed slides should
beÌýin a widescreen 16:9 ration format (1366 pixels wideÌýx 768 pixels deep) bitmaps.
A perfect template to use is a PowerPoint slide. Just be sure to set your PowerPoint
layout to 16:9 (Design > Slide Size > Widescreen 16:9). Please do not stretch a 4:3
ratio slide to 16:9 ratio slide asÌýany fonts and images willÌýdistort.
- If in doubt, contact the Office of Marketing and Communications
- Be brief and to the point as your message has a better chance of being read if the
content of the message is quickly and efficiently displayed.
- Please keep in mind the space for creating messages on the AxisTV system is limited
and your message can, at times, be competing with up to 30 other messages. With a
cycle time of 10 seconds per slide, your message would display once every 5 minutes.
