Building a Digital Display with adobe?

New Here ,
Jul 21, 2016 Jul 21, 2016

Hello,

  I'm not sure if Animate would be the right program to start working with or can you please tell me where to start.

I wold like to create a digital display monitor which will show,

Date Day and time on top. And below two boxes one with Weekend Schedule and another with daily. The thing is I would want tit to change automatically according to a excel file.

Example:

Sunrise. 5:15

Sunset  6:15

I have access to the file, the question is if it could be built in. Or a widget is also possibly available. Or maybe in a different format.

Then on the other side, I want to put times that will be the same every day or will be updated as needed.

Example.

Daily services

Morning

6:00

Evening

9:00

Weekend

9:00

lecture

6:30 AM daily

5:30PM on Saturday.

Any ideas which adobe program to use?

Or maybe any other ideas?

Thanks for asking.

I'm not sure yet. I would like to use a flat panel monitor. Not much more then 18.8 inch wide. Unless I decide to turn it vertically.

I probably would see if I could get one that coukd be used remotely or wirelessly so I could update or change things around.

As for the computer, 

I did see some digital display monitors that have built in or external players. I'm trying to keep the price as low as possible.

That's why I was checking if I could atleast build it my self.

I use Windows 10

I have access to most of Adobe cc programs and Microsoft office.

Would a specific program do the job?
