Guest Post: Mitch Leathers, SNA Displays Most LED display manufacturers worth their salt can talk a good game. As someone who has spent almost 15 years in the digital display industry, in the marketing/communications space, I know this well. […]
By just about any rational measure, the digital signage industry is about 30 years old – dating back to the start of companies like Scala, Capital Networks and Tightrope. I am probably missing a company or two, sorry, but you get the idea. […]
Guest Post: Try Hicks, Visix Digital signage has changed in recent years, with displays getting larger and better resolution, software applications that can handle more complex feeds alongside their own content creation tools, and touchscreens becoming ubiquitous. This is a far cry from the old-fashioned notion of showing PowerPoint-like slides on screens. […]
Guest Post: Jason Cremins, Signagelive As my company set its development and commercial strategy for this year, back in late 2018, a focus on Digital Out of Home (DOOH) was not on our agenda. But that may change, because of a noticeable uptick we’re sensing in both interest and activity in ad-based digital signage. […]
Digital Signage Expo says its verified total attendance at its 2019 event was 4,260 people, up six percent from 2018 and the second largest total in its 15 or so years. The show’s organizers also say DSE delivered the highest number of qualified end users in its history – 1,848. That number is the one exhibitors tend to care about the most. […]
This is a nice LED art piece that wraps around two columns at the entrance of the newly-renovated Sheraton Dallas Hotel. The historic hotel’s entrance uses 2.5mm LED modules from SNA Displays. Each of the eight faces on the columns measures 8’10” high and 3’11” wide, and has a resolution of 1,080 pixels tall by 480 pixels wide. […]
There were numerous overseas vendors at ISE – and I expect to see more at Infocomm in a couple of months – showing mesh-screen LED displays. They have come a long way in a relatively short time, and when running, the pixel pitch of these things can be good enough to deliver crisp, rich and definitely bright visuals. […]
Guest Post: Chris Riegel, STRATACACHE When I first saw this picture, I knew it reminded me of something, but I just couldn’t put my finger on it. […]
Sony has announced what I’d imagine is its biggest deal yet for its much gawked at Crystal LED video wall technology – a monster 63 feet by 17 feet screen built for the Japanese cosmetics group Shiseido, based in Yokohama. It is in the company’s new Shiseido Global Innovation Center. […]
Times Square in New York is getting yet another LED digital signage display upgrade, with the out-of-home advertising firms, New Tradition, signing a master lease agreement on One Times Square – the site of the iconic New Year’s Eve ball drop. […]
Sean Matthews managed to break away from booth set-up at Digital Signage Expo – well, actually he was probably happy as a clam to get away from the noise and bustle – to sit down and talk about Visix, the Atlanta-based CMS software company he’s ran for many years. […]
Guest Post: Rob Côté, Broadsign When it comes to choosing a digital signage player, most network operators will go with a PC running Windows or Linux, but it’s not the only choice out there. Android boxes, Chrome OS, and systems on a chip (Soc) have all come into their own as platforms in recent years. Each has found a following among digital signage network owners and operators. […]
When I was at DSE a couple of weeks ago, I noticed retail consultant Laura Davis-Taylor running around with a microphone and camera doing interviews at a bunch of stands. […]
The wide range of screens and shapes at the Fulton Center subway station (and retail center) have generated a lot of attention since it opened in 2014 – in part because it is part of the World Trade Center redevelopment area, but also because there has been a focused effort to make the screens more than just a cacophony of commercial ad spots. […]
Guest Post: John C. Wang, IAdea Digital signage is evolving into a mission-critical IT backbone for smart infrastructures. John Wang In the old days, the main purpose of a public display was to “reduce perceived wait time” and make a few advertising dollars. […]
