The layout itself
Board designs arranged in Composition and published to the screens and sites you choose.
Passenger information
Passenger information,
stated honestly.
A passenger information display is two things: a layout, and a live feed behind it. ScreenQube publishes and monitors the layout across every site you run. The live feed is the part we will not claim until the product team confirms it.
Plans, prices and trials are set by your ScreenQube partner.
Where it ends up
You work in a browser.
They see the wall.
The screen above is what you publish. This is where it ends up — a display a customer stands in front of, driven by a player that fetched it on its own.
What goes on the screens
Six things worth putting up.
Every one of these is ordinary media, arranged in Composition and sent out by Publish. Nothing here needs a separate system.
Wayfinding beside the board
Gates, exits, step-free routes and interchange.
Disruption and service notices
Published as media when something changes, to the sites affected.
Scheduled changes
Seasonal timetables and planned engineering, set once with a start and an end.
Screen state
Live Monitoring counts active and disconnected screens, which is the operational question at 05:00.
Every change on record
Audits logs each create, update and delete with the person who made it.
Where the screens go
Four walls that earn it.
-
Concourse summary boards
The large, high-level board people look for first.
-
Gate and platform screens
One service, in detail, at the point of boarding.
-
Interchange and exit routes
Onward travel, taxis, and step-free wayfinding.
-
Staff and control areas
Operational notices on the same estate.
How it is run
Four steps, then it runs itself.
The same four steps whether you have four screens or four hundred. This is the real console, not an illustration.
-
Add facilities, pair screens
One facility per site, branch or building. A screen joins by showing a registration code, which you type in once. Switch between facilities from the header.
-
Upload and compose
Media goes into the library, in folders, with tags. Composition arranges it into zones — your own files, plus App Store apps like weather, news or a ticker.
-
Publish three ways
On a schedule, with day sequences. Or QuickPlay, which the console describes as displaying content instantly for a flash sale or an emergency. Or as the default composition a screen falls back to.
-
Check it, without going there
Live Monitoring reports each screen's state. Take Screenshot shows what one is really displaying. Reload, clear the cache or reboot it remotely.
What it fixes
The three complaints we actually hear.
- A vendor promises live feeds and delivers a slideshow.
- This page says which half we can evidence today, so a procurement team is not surprised later.
- Nobody can prove which screens were showing the notice.
- Reports run in three kinds — media, uptime and audit logs; Audits covers who changed what.
- A dark screen at a remote site is found by a passenger.
- Total Disconnected Screens is a headline tile, counted per facility.

Questions
What passenger information teams ask first.
Does ScreenQube integrate with a live transport data feed?
No. There is no transport data connector. If your own systems publish a board as a web page, the web-URL app can display it — that is display, not integration, and we will not blur the two.
What can it do for a transport estate today?
Rather a lot. Publish and schedule to every screen at every site, push something immediately with QuickPlay, reboot or reload a screen remotely, take a screenshot of what one is really showing, run media and uptime reports, and audit every change.
Can it show live weather?
Yes. The App Store carries weather, news, currency, YouTube and tickers, plus an app for embedding a web page.
What runs on the displays?
An Android player app on displays you own.
Put it on every screen.
