I think Toronto-based Capital Networks may be the longest-running sponsor of the annual 16:9 Mixer ahead of Digital Signage Expo, going back many, many years. I have known these guys for 20 years and think I was, when I ran ops for a digital OOH company, one of the software company’s larger clients. […]
Ayuda – DSE Booth Number 2825 Why do people going to DSE need to put your company on their Must See list of booths? As you may know, Ayuda has a history of going above and beyond the “typical” booth setup in our designs, and this year is no exception. Our booths have always been comfortable hangouts where one can come to learn and have fun. This year, come visit the Ayuda Clubhouse! […]
NUMMAX – DSE Booth Number 2644 Why do people going to DSE need to put your company on their Must See list of booths? We are probably the only value-added manufacturer that can build to our customer’s specifications a fine pitch LED (1.9mm or 2.5mm) videowall of any shape and size at the same price level of a traditional commercial LCD thin bezel wall.

There’s an interesting piece in the Montreal newspaper La Presse about Broadsign and its CEO/backer Burr Smith. La Presse is a French language publication, but I have just discovered its posts nicely roll over to English language versions. […]
Here’s a preview video put together by Montreal digital signage solutions agency Telecine, who worked with a team on the signage for the the Canadian History Hall, the new signature gallery at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec, just across the river from Ottawa. […]
The Fantasyland Hotel at the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Canada is a large tourist-focused hotel bolted to the side of what was once the biggest shopping center on the planet. It is best known for its bizarro theme rooms – like ones with trucks and igloos or polynesian decor. Very odd place, though there are lots of normal rooms, as well. […]
I’m not totally sure LG has publicly shown its LED on transparent film product in Canada, but if not, that will change next week at a retail marketing and tech event in Toronto, called Dx3. LG is working with Montreal’s iGotcha Media on a couple of showcases for the annual trade show, including a demo of tech that’s been showcased the last couple of years at ISE and InfoComm. […]
If you’ve been to the Salesforce headquarters in San Francisco, or certain resort casinos, you will have seen and been blown away by giant virtual waterfalls that appear on LED walls and wash down, over and around things like entryways. It’s kind of amazing, and way beyond much of what you see on big digital canvases – like big 4K stock videos or graphics. […]
I set aside quite a few tickets for sponsors for the 16:9 ISE Mixer in Amsterdam, and as expected, they weren’t all needed. So I have opened up a bunch of tickets for the event. Tickets are free but you have to register via Eventbrite. […]
This is a simple but effective, I think, mash-up of merchandising and digital signage used to promote tire options at Nissan and Infiniti dealers in Canada. Groupe Touchette, the largest Canadian-owned distributor of automobile tires, worked with Montreal solutions shop iGotcha Media on digital signage display stands for nine dealerships, across several provinces. […]
Calgary, Alberta’s forest of energy sector-centric office towers is interconnected above the streets by a series of enclosed and climate-controlled (usually) pedway bridges, with the mezzanine levels of many of the buildings filled with retail and services. […]
This is a very ambitious, digitally-rich flagship store for Chinese health and beauty brand Nu Skin, opened recently in Shenzhen. Toronto-based Shikatani Lacroix Design (SLD) worked with consulting firm MetaThink to build a store intended as an experience center that reflected the company’s story and brand culture, and showcased products. […]
LG has started actively marketing the transparent LED film, for windows and architectural glass, it has been demonstrating at trade shows for the last couple of years. The film is only 1.5mm thick (about the thickness of a dime coin) and pushes more than 1,000 nits of brightness in each 668×480 mm panel. Each of those panels has 560 LED pixels set at 24mm pitch. […]

Montreal solutions provider Telecine has produced and sent around its loopy annual Christmas video – something that’s become a bit of a tradition. This one features a magical shell from the South Pacific that keeps the snow and cold away from the rooftop of Telecine’s historic stone building near downtown Montreal. […]
