FPGA-driven Digital Signage

Description

Digital signage is being used by many industries to promote special offers. Schools, colleges and universities around the world have also started using digital signage to share exciting information such as events, scholarships, study abroad news and such to students and guests. The primary reason digital signage has become popular is that it engages the audience in a much more effective way than static signage. Scrolling messages, visually appealing graphics and the ability to change the content on the fly ensures that signage displays look extremely exciting and relevant. Digital signage systems can be as simple as a single LED display or as complex as cascading several LED displays. Handling several displays requires sufficient processing and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) has proven to be efficient in handling parallel computations quickly. This capstone project presents one solution where FPGA is used to drive the LED signage.
