Scala InfoChannel powers a variety of Carnival Cruise Lines' shipboard information displays. From large format 61-inch plasma screens to 32-inch LCD's, Scala InfoChannel has been adaptable to a variety of display platforms, including several large screen interactive kiosks, providing Carnival's guests access to large amounts of information, quickly and easily. The touch-enabled Digital Signage Kiosks are used by guests to access information about deck plans, onboard events, dining times, shore excursions and other port-of-call information.
Carnival Cruise Lines first implemented Scala InfoChannel on its vessels in 2001, with the introduction of the Carnival Spirit — the first vessel to carry digital signage. Since then, Carnival has deployed more than 150 units across the fleet, and extended installations to the cruise terminals in a variety of embarkation ports. To run this operation, Carnival employs a group of A/V professionals dedicated to the installation, maintenance, programming and design of the entire network of units. With vessels situated in the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, and cruise terminals in Florida, California, and Puerto Rico, the company performs all content updates from its Miami headquarters via satellite.
