Introduction
Your window represents the first contact with your customers. However, in the face of daylight, reflections or heat, a simple poster or home television is no longer enough to capture attention.
That's where the dynamic window screen comes in, a professional monitor designed to provide perfect visibility 24 hours a day, even in direct sunlight. Coupled with a digital signage solution like Cenareo, it is becoming a real strategic communication tool.
Displays designed for demanding environments
Professional window screens are specially designed for:
- The windows facing south
- Pedestrian areas
- Shopping malls
- The showrooms
Their high brightness (up to 7000 cd/m²) and their robustness guarantee a display that is always sharp and striking. Result: your window becomes a real dynamic, attractive and profitable media.
Why is a standard screen not enough in the window
Many retailers are trying to install a consumer TV in their window. The result is often disappointing: a tarnished image, a screen darkened by the heat, and almost zero readability under the sun.
A home monitor offers a brightness of 250 to 350 cd/m², while an exposed window requires at least 1500 cd/m². Professional display screens reach up to 7000 nits and withstand extreme temperatures without darkening.
In summary, a professional window screen is:
Extreme brightness (1500 to 7000 cd/m²) Readable in full sun
An anti-blackening tile with thermal resistance up to 110°C
24/7 operation without overheating
Anti-UV and anti-reflective protection
Integrated active ventilation for longevity
It's the difference between a screen designed for your living room and a monitor designed to perform in your window all year round.

Control your window screens with Cenareo
Beyond the hardware, the software solution that controls your screens makes all the difference. Cenareo is a SaaS digital signage platform that allows you to create and broadcast content on a network of communication screens.
A solution designed for professionals
Cenareo is a tech startup from Toulouse specialized in digital signage that provides a solution for controlling multiple screens remotely, regardless of their number. The platform has established itself as a major player in the market thanks to its ease of use and its innovative approach.
A plug & play player to connect your screens
The Cenareo player is a compact box based on a Raspberry Pi that you just need to connect to the screen to connect it to the Internet. Once plugged in, it starts on its own and displays your content without interruption, even if the connection is lost.
The player connects:
- Via HDMI cable to the screen
- To the network via Ethernet cable or WiFi
- Stream in Full HD (1920 x 1080) in landscape or portrait format
Cenareo technology is compatible with high-brightness window screens, thus perfectly adapting to the constraints of storefront displays.
Intelligent and contextual programming
What sets Cenareo apart is its ability to contextualize your messages. An algorithm integrated into each box defines the appropriate moment to broadcast media according to criteria entered by the communicator via the platform.
For example, you can:
- Broadcast an umbrella campaign only when it's raining
- Adapt your messages according to the time of day
- Automatically stop the promotion of a product that is out of stock
- Synchronize multiple screens to create coordinated animations
Dynamic display in the window allows you to capture attention with campaigns that are directly linked to reality: your stock can be incremented in real time, your message can be broadcast only according to your weather criteria.
Centralized and remote management
The platform makes it possible to centralize the management of your messages in real time and to automate the distribution of your content for intelligent, impacting and targeted communication.
From any computer or smartphone, you can:
- Create your content directly on the platform
- Retrieve media from YouTube or your social networks
- Program your campaigns in advance
- Manage multiple points of sale simultaneously
- Benefit from a proactive alert system in case of failure
The concrete benefits of a dynamic window screen
Attracting attention and generating traffic
A dynamic screen captures up to 4 times more glances than a paper poster. Animations, videos, targeted messages: your window becomes a living medium that naturally attracts passers-by.
A Nielsen study of 120 retailers using a digital signage solution found that 80% saw their sales increase by 33% compared to those made with traditional printed posters.
Boost your sales and campaigns
Broadcast your daily promotions, highlight your news, create event campaigns. The window screen helps to stimulate impulse buying and increase the average basket.
Update your messages in one click
Thanks to the integrated player and the Cenareo platform in SaaS mode, you program and update your content remotely. Your messages are adapted in real time: morning, noon, evening, season, sales period.
Reduce your communication costs
No more repetitive poster printing. The window screen pays for itself quickly thanks to reduced printing costs and increased store traffic.
