Philips ePaper and EcoDesign digital signage network installed at Institut Pasteur

PPDS, integration specialist Exaprobe and digital signage software partner Telelogos have combined their expertise to deliver low energy visual performance and remote management capabilities to Institut Pasteur’s staff, with a fleet of twenty Philips Professional Displays.

Tableaux ePaper and 3000 Series EcoDesign digital signage displays have been selected for Institut Pasteur’s 538,000 sq ft biomedical research campus in Paris, France. Founded by Louis Pasteur in 1887, the Institut Pasteur is an internationally acclaimed not-for-profit research and education institute committed to the fight against infectious diseases in France and around the world. A recipient of ten Nobel Prizes and employing over 3,000 staff, the Institut’s five hectare campus features 39 separate buildings, including a conference centre, and a total of 48,000 sq m of laboratory space.

With such a vast campus and visual technology playing an increasingly important role in its day-to-day activities and communications, Institut Pasteur’s AV/IT management team sought to modernise its ageing display infrastructure. Concluding an extensive site review, the project would include a fleet of twenty dynamic displays, strategically placed to support a variety of needs, settings, and light environments, including reception halls, meeting rooms, laboratories, and more.

The project presented a number of challenges. As a site of historical significance - containing several listed buildings - retaining the aesthetics during any modernisation, while ensuring minimal disruptions to staff, was imperative. Furthermore, displays would need to meet the Institut’s standards for electrical safety and durability, while providing greater energy efficiency to reduce its carbon footprint.

Working with AV/IT integration specialists Exaprobe, PPDS’ “zero power” 32’’ Philips Tableaux ePaper and 55’’ Philips Signage 3000 Series EcoDesign displays were identified as the solutions of choice. The introduction of Philips Tableaux ePaper displays was selected primarily to provide wayfinding information, such as mapping, campus information, and other instructions, to help visitors navigate around the site.

Fully portable and able to be used entirely unplugged - and therefore suitable for use in the Institut’s older buildings and in spaces with limited power sources - each Philips Tableaux is capable of displaying full colour, static imagery for days, weeks, months, or even years without using a single kilowatt of energy. The only time Philips Tableaux displays require power is during content updates, with one image change using 0.0025 kWh.

For the institute’s more advanced and detailed visual needs on a grander scale, including for presentations, corporate videos, and other internal communications, the future-proof Philips Signage 3000 Series EcoDesign was the standout choice, ticking all boxes for both performance and sustainability. In addition to delivering 4K Ultra HD visual quality, the 3000 Series EcoDesign enables the screens to use less than fifty percent of the power compared to other digital signage models in the market.

Both the Philips Tableaux and Philips Signage 3000 Series EcoDesign are also members of PPDS’ portfolio of integrated Android SoC displays. Enabling centralised management of the new fleet, PPDS partner Telelogos’ Media4Display solution was selected and integrated, providing round-the-clock monitoring and management. This also allows the Institut’s technical team to schedule content in real time without having to travel or manually update.
