LRAT runs the largest digital signage service in the University. Its primary location is outside all refurbished teaching rooms - where the signs give daily updating room booking information.

External content has been provided for colleges, Special Collections, Careers & Employability and many more. Up to 20% of the display time of the screenscan be booked. The showing times are controlled by a sophisticated digital signage server looked after by LRAT.

The charge for Initial setup is £15. A presentation occupying 10% of showtime is then charged at a further £15 / week.

The content can include images, AVI video, flash files, PowerPoint, database content from tables dynamically updated through ODBC connections and even live camera feeds.
