The Challenge: Matching Digital Displays to a Premium Brand
Janie and Jack wanted to modernize its store environment with synchronized digital displays across both windows and interior walls. The goal was a dramatic, immersive visual effect where every screen in the store showed the same high-quality 4K content simultaneously — creating what the team described as a “wow” moment for customers entering the store. The brand’s luxury positioning demanded that every element of the display system, from hardware quality to content resolution, meet the same standard as the clothing on the racks.
The project presented several technical requirements. Window-facing displays needed to remain clearly visible in direct sunlight and varying ambient light conditions. Interior displays needed to integrate cleanly into the store’s existing architectural details — wall niches, custom cabinetry, and premium finishes. Most importantly, all screens within a single store had to display identical content in perfect synchronization, requiring a signal distribution solution that maintained full 4K resolution across every panel.
The CrownTV Solution: Synchronized Samsung Displays Across Windows and Interiors
CrownTV designed a dual-display configuration for Janie and Jack stores. Window-facing positions received Samsung OM55B 55-inch high-brightness commercial displays, rated at 3,500 nits — purpose-built for direct sun exposure and high-ambient-light environments. These units are floor-mounted on black metal stands in portrait orientation, one per window bay, and remain clearly legible to passersby even in peak daylight. Interior positions received Samsung QM55C 55-inch 4K commercial displays, wall-mounted and recessed into custom white niches that integrate with the store’s premium cabinetry. A typical store configuration includes two window-facing OM55B units and four interior QM55C units — six screens total per location.
The synchronization system uses a single CrownTV media player per store connected to an HDMI splitter, distributing an identical 4K signal to all screens simultaneously. This approach guarantees that every display shows the same frame of content at the same moment — whether a customer is looking through the window from the sidewalk or standing inside the store. Content is managed centrally through the CrownTV CMS dashboard, allowing the marketing team to push seasonal campaign updates, lifestyle videos, and collection launches to the entire store fleet remotely.
Installation and Deployment
CrownTV technicians handled all installation work across multiple US locations and the London store. Each location required a different configuration approach: floor-mounted stands for window displays, ceiling-mounted brackets in some positions, and recessed wall mounts for interior screens. The retrofit installations at existing stores required precise coordination with store layouts to ensure displays integrated cleanly with the existing architecture — custom white niches, herringbone wood floors, and decorative molding had to remain undisturbed. CrownTV’s nationwide installation team managed the multi-configuration rollout across both new builds and retrofitted locations.
The Results
- Immersive visual impact: Every screen in each store displays identical synchronized 4K content, creating a premium, gallery-like brand experience from the moment customers approach the window
