Project Overview:
This project involved installing set-top boxes on existing roof-mounted displays at a medical clinic in Santa Ana, CA. The clinic needed each patient station connected to its display feed so programming could run reliably throughout the treatment area.
Our team completed a station-by-station installation across the clinic, connecting each set-top box to the existing roof-mounted television feed and confirming that every unit powered on with a healthy status light before we left the site.
Project Goals
- Install set-top boxes on the clinic’s existing roof-mounted patient-station displays.
- Connect each unit to the existing display feed without replacing the televisions.
- Verify power and status on every installed unit before departure.
- Leave the site with no open installation issues.
Project Milestones:
Set-Top Box Installation
- Installed a set-top box at each patient station, covering stations 1 through 40.
- Placed each unit to work with the existing roof-mounted display.
Display Feed Connection
- Connected each set-top box to the station’s existing roof-mounted display feed.
- Confirmed each connection was seated and ready for use.
Station-by-Station Verification
- Checked power and status lights on every unit after install.
- All 40 units were powered and lit at the time of departure.
- No open issues remained at the end of the visit.
Project Outcome:
The Santa Ana medical clinic now has:
- Set-top boxes installed across all 40 patient stations.
- Each unit connected to its existing roof-mounted display feed.
- Confirmed power and status on every installed box.
- A completed installation with no outstanding items from this visit.
Lessons Learned:
- A full walk-through of every station is the most reliable way to confirm a large, repetitive install is actually complete.
- Working with existing display feeds keeps the project scoped to the boxes themselves and avoids unnecessary hardware replacement.
- Checking status lights before leaving the site helps prevent return trips for units that never fully powered on.
Next Steps:
- Support the clinic if any station needs a follow-up adjustment after day-to-day use.
- Review related display or cabling issues separately if they come up at individual stations.

We appreciate the clinic staff for providing access to the patient stations and allowing us to complete the installation efficiently.
