Introducing our Commercial Visual Solutions
Wherever we are, be that at work, at home, travelling or shopping, screens have become an intrinsic part of our everyday lives. They are used in so many ways. Whether that is enabling video conferences at the desk and in meeting spaces, advertising in retail, displaying IPTV in stadiums and hotels or even providing interactive menus in restaurants, screens are something we constantly use. To accommodate a wide variety of use cases, these products come in many different formats. They are more than just the displays we see every day. They are comprised of presentation systems, video conferencing components and have become integrated into a networked ecosystem.
Whilst visual solutions are often the centrepiece of an audio visual (AV) system, they are usually part of a wider, integrated system consisting of distribution, audio, and control technologies. Together, these components help organisations achieve a wide range of objectives, be that optimising the meeting room experience, managing a global digital signage network, or controlling multiple sources of information in command & control settings.
The examples are vast and to ensure your project requirements are captured correctly and installed to specification you need a trusted partner you can rely on.
If you are seeking professional guidance for your project and would prefer to speak directly with an expert, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Our team are on hand to discuss your requirements so why not get the ball rolling today.

Video Walls
From delivering high-impact statements in retail and performance venues to facilitating large collaboration sessions in business and education settings to the analysis and control of information sources in command & control environments, video walls can fulfil a range of requirements. Depending on that requirement there are a variety of video wall technologies to choose from including LCD video walls, LED video walls and blended projection systems.
As a specialist systems integrator we have extensive experience in the installation and configuration of video walls in a wide variety of environments. These include installing the exceptional Samsung LED Wall in DHL’s Centre of Excellence, delivering multiple video walls as part of the British Airways Crisis Management Centre project, and deploying mission-critical video wall solutions for a number of blue light organisations.
Commercial Displays
Used by organisations of all sizes and across every industry, commercial displays have become a cornerstone of the modern workplace. They are used for a multitude of applications and as such, come in a wide range of sizes and formats to accommodate a variety of operational requirements. These displays not only provide the high visual quality we have now become accustomed to at home, but they also offer additional features, tailored to the corporate environment such as 24/7 operation, power scheduling, built-in media, flexible mounting options and enhanced warranties.
Cinos have been installing commercial displays since our formation, building up strong partnerships with leading manufacturers including LG, NEC, and Samsung. With access to an extensive portfolio of display options, we can ensure that whatever your requirement, we are perfectly positioned to help.
Interactive Displays
For a solution that was quickly adopted in the classroom , the commercial use of interactive displays has increased dramatically in recent years. Reduction in prices, enhancements in performance and the integration with platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Webex and Zoom have led to a rise in adoption in both corporate and public sector environments.
Today, interactive whiteboards are used in a variety of ways. We’ve seen mobile solutions such as the Samsung Flip replace the traditional flip chart to enhance impromptu collaboration sessions. Fully integrated boardroom solutions such as the Clevertouch Pro series can help bring ideas to life and unified communications platforms such as the Cisco Webex Board are used as sophisticated digital canvases to connect distributed workforces.
Digital Signage
Digital signage is something we see almost every day. Whether you are travelling, at work, shopping, or using public services, digital signage is all around us. It provides organisations with an incredibly flexible way to engage, entertain and inform their audiences.
Today, digital signage comes in all shapes and sizes. From LED and LCD screens and interactive displays to large, big impact visuals utilising projectors or video walls. Content and distribution can be managed centrally with ease, whether that is updating corporate communications across multiple offices, providing wayfinding in hospitals, airports and train stations or advertising in hundreds of retail outlets across the globe.
IPTV
IPTV, or Internet Protocol Television traditionally refers to the ability to distribute television channels across a network. This is achieved by encoding signals from terrestrial, cable or satellite transmissions into IP streams. In reality, IPTV solutions are not just limited to TV distribution, they can be used to transmit radio, DVD/Blu-ray, Video on Demand (VoD), digital signage and web content signals to a variety of display types.
IPTV is commonly found in hospitality, enabling the likes of bars, hotels, and stadiums to distribute TV throughout their buildings. Outside of hospitality it is used by blue light organisations such as the police or ambulance services, who monitor local and national news channels from their control rooms. In the corporate setting we have seen IPTV facilitate employee training with VoD content. There are a wide range of use cases for IPTV so if this is something you are considering, please get in touch with our team.
Wireless Presentation
and Conferencing
Wherever you are working, be that a meeting space, a classroom, or a large-scale venue such as an auditorium, getting your content on screen to present and collaborate has become an expectation. With the growing popularity of BYOD, wireless presentation systems have become commonplace in the spaces we work. They enable teams to collaborate quickly and easily, from any device without the need for specialist cables and adaptors.
Today, these wireless presentation capabilities have been extended to facilitate wireless conferencing in your spaces. This evolution in BYOD solutions enable users to walk into any space and control the video conference and meeting room peripherals from their own device. By partnering with key manufacturers including Barco, Mersive and Crestron, Cinos are perfectly placed to deliver wireless presentation and conferencing in your spaces.
Networked Video
Historically to transmit video signals across a building or throughout a wider estate, organisations would have to invest in expensive matrix switchers and cabling. Even though this was possible, it was not pragmatic or scalable for large scale deployments such as in hospitality or stadiums.
Networked video, or AV over IP video distribution provides organisations with a simple, scalable, and cost-effective way to transmit video to an infinite number of locations. These solutions, such as DM NVX from Crestron, deliver high quality video, audio, and control signals over long distances with low latency, making it ideal for large scale deployments of digital signage, IPTV and video streaming. With AV over IP, your video travels as far as your network does.
