Mother Stories
Text translation Display
Scroll Direction/Layout
Horizonal Scroll
As Spec’ed.
My concern is that with the faster movement of the text, it will be easy for readers to look away, especially if they look away for a second. This is an english title, but I have noticed that in general, Spanish Translations have a longer character length, meaning they will need to move slightly faster.
Vertical Scroll
Moves much slower, and much easier for readers to pickup text position if they look away.
Vertical Scroll
(w /truncated Aspect ratio)
Moves much slower, and much easier for readers to pickup text position if they look away. While not as wide, The truncated aspect ratio provides more space for vertical tracking.
Another option would be to add another row of panels to the original width. Our current data and power management can support this, so only a matter of purchasing panels (~$200).

Treatment 6: two prebuilt screens - scrolling

For these, we would need to build in our own control system to interface with the existing sign, but would see cost savings in the prebuilt case and power supply.
The above pictured option (77” x 14”) has a lower pixel density than the options considered above, making it questionable for multiline text, but would be suitable for large scrolling text.
