One item, large and on its own – for new acquisitions in the entrance, for the screen at the return unit, for the response to a security gate alarm.

How it differs from a session#
media.show is no substitute for items in a session. It shows an item
without reference to a person – which is why it is permitted outside a
session too and carries no account data.
