AxisTV

AxisTV is a closed-circuit, on-campus communication system which uses flat-screen plasma monitors to broadcast important information to ULM students, faculty, and staff. Displays are located at various points around campus.

The Office of Marketing and Communications manages the content on the system, reviews all messages for content and posts content to AxisTV.

 

Acceptable Types of Messages

• sports and special events such as theatre performances, plays, concerts, etc.
• critical deadlines for academic calendar
• important dates for university openings and closings
• congratulations to university departments, organizations and/or individuals for awards and honors
• important weather and national news updates when necessary

Unsuitable Types of Messages

Helpful Hints about Composing Messages

• Use of pictures is encouraged. When using photos, be sure the photos are high-resolution. Completed slides should be in a widescreen 16:9 ration format (1366 pixels wide x 768 pixels deep) bitmaps. A perfect template to use is a PowerPoint slide. Just be sure to set your PowerPoint layout to 16:9 (Design > Slide Size > Widescreen 16:9). Please do not stretch a 4:3 ratio slide to 16:9 ratio slide as any fonts and images will distort.
• If in doubt, contact the Office of Marketing and Communications ulm.edu/opiservices
  
• Be brief and to the point as your message has a better chance of being read if the content of the message is quickly and efficiently displayed.
  
• Please keep in mind the space for creating messages on the AxisTV system is limited and your message can, at times, be competing with up to 30 other messages. With a cycle time of 10 seconds per slide, your message would display once every 5 minutes.
