Digital signage
Display specifications
- The Reach displays are 16:9 widescreen displays. Announcement files built outside of Reach should be 1920x1080. Note that this is a horizontal layout.
- Images should be RGB at 72 ppi; less resolution will be low quality, while more will inflate file size unnecessarily.
- JPG or PNG files work best when uploaded into Reach.
- All signs need to include the UAF logo (or a unit’s signature system graphic).
- When creating displays within the Reach system, use Lato (preferred) or Georgia for text fonts. Otherwise use UAF’s brand fonts.
- Once your sign has been completed, and edited for accuracy, please send to uaf-digitalsignage@alaska.edu.
