Time to shut down for a few days. There will not be a new podcast episode this week or next, as much of the audience is also taking a few days off with 2019 winding down. We’ll start off fresh in January. […]
The dollar goes a bit further in Dayton, Ohio, the head office city of the digital signage solutions company STRATACACHE. The company’s owner and CEO Chris Riegel has purchased a 12-storey office block in the city’s downtown – the Courthouse Plaza building at 10 N. Ludlow Street – for $1.67 million. […]
The 12 Days of Christmas is a time-honored holiday classic, bringing most of us a feeling of warmth and nostalgia each year (though it conveniently skipped over the issue of what our narrator ended up doing with those 23 birds.) This year, we have a different take on the classic, where our true love isn’t into swans, drummers, or golden rings—instead opting to send over everything our narrator needs for a complete office digital signage installation. […]
Screens in medical waiting rooms is one of the most well established kinds of digital OOH media, and there’s been no end of companies that developed networks built around advertising-supported content. […]
The new Istanbul Airport in Turkey, which is opening in phases, has almost 700 Samsung LCD and LED displays, with the direct view LED encompassing more than 1,000 sq. meters of visual space. The centerpieces of the install are two giant 193-sq. […]
Montreal solutions provider Telecine has produced and sent around its loopy annual Christmas video – something that’s become a bit of a tradition. This one features a magical shell from the South Pacific that keeps the snow and cold away from the rooftop of Telecine’s historic stone building near downtown Montreal. […]
Digital signage is so common now in retail and public spaces that I don’t tend to notice screens as much as I did for many years, when it was interesting to see what early adopters are doing. […]
The Swiss software firm Navori will be showing some new in-house technology at ISE that it says gets an “insane” amount of display performance out of a single playback box. […]
One might have thought the shape-shifting LED display that Coca-Cola put in Times Square was such a disaster, as innovations go, that the market for such a product was created and killed in a matter of weeks. […]
UK digital signage CMS software shop Signagelive has always been fast and smart about tying in to capabilities it can add to its overall offer, choosing to partner rather than build. Its integration is with the US-based firm PosterMyWall – a template-driven, cloud-based platform that allows end-users to build promotional spots without having a lick of design skills. […]
The French software firm Intuiface is the latest vendor in the digital signage ecosystem to add analytics capabilities to its overall offer – though in this case it is less about viewer movement and time as it is about the specifics of interactive display sessions. […]
It’s official – there will be 16:9 Mixers at DSE AND at ISE in Amsterdam in 2019. The DSE Vegas details are still being sorted (but same place, format, etc as is past) but the inaugural ISE event is ready to go. It will be Wednesday, Feb. […]
Anything with moving parts has risks, but using programmed hydraulic arms and LED screens inside and airport is way, way, way less trouble-prone and risky than something with thousands of sync’d, ever-moving bits on an outside display. That’s why comparing this install to the doomed Coca-Cola display in Times Square isn’t all that relevant. […]
RMG Networks has revived the Symon brand – which was disappeared some five years ago when RMG acquired the Dallas-based business visual messaging company, Symon Communications. RMG is still the corporate entity, but the enterprise (on-premise) software platform will be called Symon. The relatively new cloud-based CMS will continue to be marketed as Korbyt. […]
The LAX International Terminal digital experience is a few years old now, but to the credit of the airport and JC Decaux, which has the media concession for the airport, the content is being refreshed. This is a loop showing the content being developed for the seven big display elements in the post-security part of the terminal, as developed by the Paris-based experiential content shop Admemori.
