Most of the companies I sit down with on these podcasts are well-established, and my interview subjects have a lot if history behind them. But I got pitched by a French start-up called CityMeo, and I agreed to meet up for a chat several weeks ago at ISE in Amsterdam, even though I knew zero about them. […]
This is the second move in recent weeks by U.S.-based LED board-makers against their (typically) lower cost Asian competitors. Atlanta-based NanoLumens recently issued a press statement about the software security risks of buying Chinese-made LED boards. […]
InfoComm 2017 is coming up fast, with the big pro AV-systems integrator show set for mid-June in Orlando. The show has a pretty substantial digital signage education component this year, built primarily around the idea of the big digital canvas. […]
This looks very nice – an experiential video wall in a luxury boutique hotel in Paris that’s ambient, reactive and highly functional when needed.

ONELAN has been around the digital signage market for many, many years, but the company is far better known on its UK home turf, and in other parts of the world, than it is in North America. That’s changing, as ONELAN starts to build into the US and Canada with a really well respected software and hardware solution, as well as what Hugh Coghill-Smith calls the wrap. […]

Episode 53 (Hugh Coghill-Smith of ONELAN) is up overnight, downloads are approaching 120,000, and the podcast has a companion series focused on digital signage projects. So there was something to the notion, apparently. […]
