If you don’t use Linkedin much, here’s the many things I’ve posted over there in the last few days – embedded here as there are pix and short videos. […]
Dan Hagen is a relatively young guy, and a bit of an Energizer Bunny. I know of him as the 10net guy from Vancouver, but I was surprised to learn in a conversation that he has been involved in digital signage since before it was called digital signage. He was a funding founder of Mercury Online Solutions, which in the late 90s and early 2000s was a big player in this business. […]
News feeds from data providers have typically come in one of two ways: raw XML or other feeds that could be flowed into templates; or pre-designed, finished feeds with the look and feel already sorted out. Now Minneapolis-based Screenfeed has added new capabilities that allow top-to-bottom customizability for their customers. […]
The Buffalo-based media and digital signage company inLighten normally keeps a very low profile, but they lifted the veil a little today to celebrate the good deeds of President and CEO Dan Snyder, who has personally donated $100,000 toward the construction of an assisted living/enhanced assisted living and memory care community in the community. […]
The Society for Information Display is a non-profit group run by display industry people, and it holds an annual trade show and conference that pulls in many to most of the top-level display engineers in that business. Display Week, as the event is called, is this week in San Jose, CA, and I am attending for the first time. […]
There are endless theories, it seems, as to what happened – but what is without question is that the other day, an LED wall hung on a truss for events at the Mandalay Bay’s arena in Las Vegas collapsed. It seems to have been a relatively slow motion collapse, as opposed to a catastrophic crash. It does not seem like anyone was hurt, which is very good. […]
Big pro AV news out of Spain and the UK earlier today, with the TRISON Group announcing its acquisition of Beaver Group, which has done many of the better QSR and retail digital signage jobs in the UK in recent years. TRISON is Europe’s biggest digital signage-focused integrator – kinda like Diversified, but in Galician Spain instead of New Jersey. […]
It took going to Seattle to remember and realize a few things about the city and region. First, there are some really big, impactful companies out here – like Amazon, Microsoft, Costco, Boeing and a little coffee chain called Starbucks. Second, there’s more of a signage ecosystem than is maybe obvious. […]
Most people think about northern Italy for wine, food, fashion and beautiful scenery, but it’s also home to some well-established technology companies like Global Display Solutions, or GDS. The company has been around for decades and built up a very solid business for rugged, industrial-grade displays for use-cases like bank ATMs. […]
Broadsign owner and CEO Burr Smith is seemingly the man of the moment in the digital OOH business. He made some waves by acquiring crosstown rival Ayuda Media Systems in late April, and he’ll no doubt stir things up again with news his company has acquired the digital OOH ad exchange Campsite, which like Broadsign and Ayuda is based in Montreal. […]
Four Royal Caribbean cruise ships – the newer ones that are the size fully loaded container ships – are now using screens on robotic arms for entertainment. The cruise line’s Quantum Class ships – like the Spectrum of the Seas – have lounges with these dancing screens, using ABB robotics arms. […]
The UK-based investment bank Barclays has refreshed the LED displays on the facade of its New York City headquarters on Seventh Avenue, putting on 7,046 square feet of new direct LED. “The enhanced signage system is a powerful example of how we infuse digital innovation into everything we do here at Barclays,” says Richard Haworth, CEO of the Americas for Barclays. […]
A company that provides physical works of art as a service to property owners and companies has added digital capability, providing a presumably less costly alternative to custom creative for things like large format video walls. […]
It’s been a rough few weeks for the media company Intersection and its LinkNYC “smart cities” ad posters. First, dozens were vandalized and damaged. Now an activist group is duct-taping anti-LinkNYC messages to the screens. […]
