Given that NanoLumens CEO Rick Cope is a retired United States Marine Corps officer and has an old Stinger missile in his office, it will be of no great surprise that his political views may tilt a bit to the right and that he supports U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order to buy American-made goods.

It appears the TransitScreen guys have some indirect competition – in the form of a NYC startup Roadify Transit – when it comes to providing local mass transport data to screen networks. […]

I tend to think of Peerless-AV as one of the big guys when it comes to display mounting solutions that come off walls and bolt to ceilings, but the Chicago-based company also has a pretty broad set of enclosure systems that serve as freestanding kiosks. […]
The connector cables and fiddly bits seem to be going or gone from the latest generations of indoor LED displays. This is the back of an AOTO display that was in the company’s booth at InfoComm China. I watched a couple of guys tear down a big LED wall used for a press conference in a side room at the show, and the things were coming off at a clip of about 10 seconds per tile. […]

Done well for businesses, it can do things like help staff to keep the mission, vision and values of their company top of mind. […]
Back from Beijing after several days spent talking and walking at InfoComm China, and waaaay too many hours on my butt flying home. Thanks first to John Wang and Amanda Sung of IAdea, and the rest of the folks from the Digital Signage Multimedia Alliance (of Taiwan) for working with InfoComm to have me over there. I did a 40-minute session on the rise and rise of data-driven signage. […]
Digital Signage Expo saw a nice bump in foot traffic at this year’s edition of the annual trades show – with more than 4,900 attendees. That was up from about 4,100 in 2016 – a number that had kinda flatlined in recent years. The show stresses in its press release the number of end-users was roughly 2,100 – an all-time high and the number exhibitors truly care about. […]
I think there’s cause to worry about this woman. Detroit-based Gas Station TV (GSTV) has done a deal that sees it take over the assets and operations of Verifone’s Pump Media division, in a 50:50 joint venture led by private equity guys. […]
Probably the most interesting thing I saw in a quick walk around several halls at InfoComm China in Beijing on Wednesday was a Shanghai company called Pallas, which has tech that does a really good job of making the seams in LCD video walls visually go away. It uses something called active bezel tech – which the guy at the booth told me was using LED. […]
A lot of companies have come in and out of video analytics for digital signage, but the one constant has been Quividi – a French company with an anonymous pattern detection product a lot of people will tell you is the gold standard for this tech. […]
