#DSE2017 PR Round-Up – Elo, Bluefox, Navori and Holocube

I’m not going to write individual posts about all the press pitches I am getting leading into DSE because I don’t have time and 11+ years of doing this tells me the readership for software version releases and new sizes for monitors is pretty teensy. Big news for the vendors and their customers, but overall, not so much. As a round-up, however, it’s manageable. […]

Sixteen:Nine Podcasts: Francesco Ziliani, Spinetix

SpinetiX has been on the digital signage scene for more than a decade now, and if you are in the business, you may know them as the Swiss guys who market a really nice little aluminum-clad, solid state playback box. They had that 10 years ago, when a lot of signage networks were still going in with desktop PCs. What always stumped me was the price – which seemed really high. […]

DSE 2017 Mixer Sponsor Profiles: Chief/Milestone

I tend to think of the mounting solutions guys in the signage industry being a bit like Rodney Dangerfield, the comedian who used to moan about how he got no respect at all. The stuff that holds all those displays in place securely, and gets everything perfectly aligned and tidy, is essential to any job. But powder-coated metal isn’t as “sexy” as software or 4K displays. […]

ScoreStream Brings Hyperlocal Sports Reports To Digital Screen Networks

Companies like Screenfeed, Datacall and Digichief all do a nice job providing subscription content feeds for things like major college and pro sports, but I don’t think I’ve seen them do feeds that would provide screen networks with another tier of sports that is particularly huge in the U.S. market. […]
