DISPLAY SOLUTIONS
There are several options in how you can show a Legacy DVD Memorial Tribute Video in your funeral home. Here we'll discuss the pros, cons and cost considerations in the various methods.
Television and DVD player
The
type of television you choose should be determined by how you want to
display it in your chapel. Because tributes tend to
draw a crowd around them, size should be an important consideration. A 37"
flat panel television will run you around $700 and up. If you're going to
wall mount it, then plan on spending another $200-$300 for the wall mount
bracket plus the cost of installation. A DVD player will be required
to playback the DVD on the television. The cost of a DVD player is $50
and up. There are also TV's with built in DVD players.
Pros: Reasonable cost, readily available, lots of choices.
Cons: Not easy to move between chapels, moving parts in DVD player, must have DVD burner on computer, must stock blank DVD's, must burn DVD at funeral home.
Digital Picture Frames
Legacy DVD offers Memorial Tribute Videos in two different formats, DVD and
MPEG2 for Compact Flash cards. Playing your Memorial Tribute Videos on a
Digital Picture Frame offers many key advantages over the traditional
television and DVD player. Like television sets, the speakers are built in to the frames. They can be
wall mounted or be placed on an easel for easy setup in other chapels. There
is no moving parts to wear out and have no wiring to
hookup other than the
power supply. You'll never have to worry about burning DVD's and therefore
no DVD burner is required. You simply drag and drop your downloaded tribute video
file to an inexpensive memory card, slide into the picture frame and hit
play on the remote. Simple as that! When the service is over, delete the file
from the memory card and reuse on the next one. Legacy DVD will then
ship the personalized original DVD either directly to the family or to the
funeral home. The file sizes are much smaller than the DVD format resulting
in a much faster download without sacrificing quality.
