Following on the old, here’s a very new take on signage – my presentation last Tuesday morning in Las Vegas at the InfoComm Digital Signage Summit. It’s not really a look at the market as a whole. […]
Wow, just stumbled on this presentation I did in Montreal, at some conference or other, back in early 2009. I had most of what I was blabbering on about right, but it’s so old I was talking about Flash and Silverlight. Back then, I was also a lot more bullish about digital OOH. […]
I’m involved in a couple of upcoming webinars in the next couple of weeks.

The subscription content service Screenfeed has developed a set of feeds to help viewers of digital signage networks stay in touch with events and results coming out of the Rio Olympics in a few weeks. […]
The more I walked and talked here at InfoComm, the more I was drawing conclusions around what digital signage displays look like in the next five years. First, many or most of the the single displays are going to ship with embedded intelligence on them. Whatever you think of System on Chip displays, pretty much all the major manufacturers are into it, save NEC and Sharp. […]
As warned, there are indoor LED displays everywhere at this year’s edition of the big InfoComm systems integrator-pro AV nerdfest in Las Vegas.

I have not been on the InfoComm show floor yet, as it doesn’t formally open for a couple of hours and only exhibitors can get in during set-up. But what I am told from contacts and what I have seen through the doors is a sea of LED displays. They are everywhere. […]
Viktor Petersson is kind of “the man” when it comes to making digital signage run on a $45 Raspberry Pi mini PC. For the last four years, Viktor’s company Screenly has been focused on developing and evolving a signage solution specifically for the Raspberry Pi. […]

I am in Las Vegas this week, where it is a bit hot. This is what my rental car dashboard was telling me for the outside temperature at about 2 PM yesterday – 115 F. So if you are coming here for InfoComm this week, don’t worry about packing a sweater. […]
Guest Post: Curtis Tilly, Microspace Connectivity is the unsung hero of digital signage, making possible the whole idea of delivering the right message at the right time, in the right location, to the right audience. On-screen content, media delivery, file forwarding and system monitoring all depend on taking a reliable, scalable and cost-effective approach to connectivity. […]
