General Display Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Resolution<\/strong>: Content is delivered to the displays at a 1080p resolution.  This translates to 1920 x 1080.
Aspect Ratio<\/strong>: 16:9
Display Size<\/strong>: 55″<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generic Requirements by Content Type<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PowerPoint Slides<\/strong>: These must have an aspect ratio of 16:9.  Photos that will be used in slides (and are designed to fill the screen) should be a resolution of 1920 x 1080.  To create slides that will export (as .jpg) at a resolution of 1920 x 1080, you should set the aspect ratio of your slide show to 16:9 and set the height to 20 inches wide by 11.25 inches in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slideshow Images<\/strong>: Images to be displayed as part of a slideshow must be of a certain quality.  Nothing smaller than 600px should be used, as they will appear pixelated.  Also, be sure to adjust the image so that it has the correct orientation – ie, the photo is not shown on its side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Posters<\/strong>: As these must also have an aspect ration of 16:9 – we will need to specify height and width settings to match.  The ratio that will work best on these displays is 27″ height by 48″ width.  This will fill the screen fully.  Also, you should be sure to use a minimum font size of around 36.  Anything smaller that this will be difficult for some to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Submit Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Individual slides can be submitted to the “Corkboard” display by anyone.  There are specific guidelines to follow when creating your content.  A content creation guide is provided below.  Once you have your content slide, you may upload it using a web form located at the URL below.  This URL is only available from on campus, or from off campus through the CSU Secure Gateway (https:\/\/cnsit.colostate.edu\/kb\/csu-vpn-duo<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Create Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anyone is able to submit content to be displayed on what is called a \u201cCorkboard\u201d display.  Submitted content is evaluated and placed on the display(s) that will work best.  For best results, please note the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
