Scala Designer
Scala Designer is specifically designed for creating digital signage content that is brand-consistent, interactive and optimized for digital display. Leverage our existing and easy-to-use templates as a starting point or create custom content to fit your campaign and brand message. Scala Designer supports and includes a wide range of media formats for images, graphics, video, flash and sound. Add RSS feeds, social media or other third party content while using hundreds of built in effects and transitions and our library of clip art, stock images, templates, backgrounds, and stock video all with Scala Designer.
Scala’s digital signage software allows marketing and development teams to create fully personalized digital signage based on the company’s brand identity. Delivering dynamic visuals to your guests helps to boost engagement, increase conversion rates and grow brand awareness.
With the human brain’s ability to process visual data 60,000 times faster than basic text, designing customized digital signage can improve brand reputation and attract attention. Compelling imagery can bring your brand to life and influence even the most evasive audiences.
Scala Designer digital signage software was created to help novice, intermediate and expert marketers produce polished, professional digital signage at all levels. The intuitive interface makes it easy to combine elements such as text, images, graphics, video, sound and animation for the ultimate engaging content.
Scala Designer also handles converting files or re-rendering, easily aggregating multiple media formats for images, video, audio, streaming and HTML. This aspect of the software gives marketers more control over the final playback quality, because the file is rendered live and leaves the original data unaltered.
Advanced features included in Scala Designer digital signage software include language support, design customization and crawl capabilities. With such a user-friendly interface, design customization is easy — insert smooth transitions, scale content to fit portrait or landscape styles and add interactive buttons. Text driven by data also has the ability to crawl at a controllable speed.
