Text to Screen
Text to screen or text 2 screen is a technology that allows cell phone users to send a text message to a short code and this message will be shown on a large screen.
It’s one of the most used mobile marketing solutions by the event industry and also by entertainment companies and TV stations. It’s is commonly seen in sport stadiums, concerts, nightclubs, bars, large public venues, trade shows and parties.
Text messages on screen can be displayed in a scrolling ticker similar to how news updates are shown on TV and combined with other video – such as a band playing at a concert.
