Montreal, Canada-based X2O Media, a provider of real-time visual communications solutions, announces that its software is powering a photo video wall at the St. Cloud, Minnesota-based technology services companyMarco Inc.
Back when Marco had fewer than 100 employees, it started a tradition of hanging a photo of every employee on a 30’ x 10’ wall. As the company grew to more than 900 employees, it ran out of wall space, and sorting and managing all of those hard-copy photos became cumbersome and time consuming. So Marco tapped X2O Media’s software to manage an employee photo video wall it built.
Featuring 55-inch displays in a 5 x 2 configuration, Marco’s video wall cycles through pictures of all employees – sorted by hire date – in 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. If an employee leaves or joins the company, the photos are automatically resorted. The images can also display additional content, such as Internal awards an employee wins or other information about them.
In addition, Marco can easily update and display its office locations as the company continues to expand geographically.
The employee photo video wall is an important part of Marco’s culture and resonates with its employees, customers and vendors, according to Jeff Gau, Marco’s CEO.
"On tours of our corporate headquarters, it is always a highlight," Gau says. “With the X2O platform, it couldn't be easier to update content on the displays and keep employee photos sorted."
