The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation Inc. has finished a $100 million beautification project on Liberty Island, including constructing a new Statue of Liberty Museum.

As part of the project, exhibit designer ESI Design brought on A/V integrator Diversified to deploy displays, interactive kiosks and an immersive theater. Diversified in turn more than 80 BrightSign media players for the museum, according to a press release.

The museum includes:

• An immersive theater separated into three nodes, with content from BrightSign XD media players.
• Artifact gallery with displays powered by BrightSign XD media players.
• More than 20 interactive kiosks that allow customers to answer questions, talk selfies and push personalized content to a LED wall powered by BrightSign media players.

One set of BrightSign media players acts as the primary content distribution while another acts a fail-over in the event of an outage, according to the release.

"We needed distribution hardware capable of displaying 4K content, which the BrightSign hardware handles with ease. But beyond that technical requirement, we needed the peace of mind to know that our remote A/V network would perform flawlessly without any downtime," Carol Feeley-Vario, project manager, Diversified, said in the release. "BrightSign's reliability is unrivaled in the industry, and that was a key driver of the Diversified team’s decision to entrust such a high-visibility project to BrightSign's players."
