Here’s a of glimpses at the ambitious and interesting digital signage implementations happening with the Cinemex moviehouse chain in Mexico. Across the 300 site chain, Mexican integrator Multimedia Corp. has put in 8,000 screens driven by some 1,300 players. […]
This is the second iteration of a massive video wall in the lobby of the NYC-based internet media company IAC. The first version went up in 2012, using Prysm laser phosphor display cubes. Six years on, V2 uses 1.4mm pixel pitch LED modules. […]
NEC Display has been fairly quietly involved in analytics for a long time now, but it just got very serious and noisy about that capability, with the launch of something called ALP – which is short for Analytics Learning Platform. […]
These are concessions at the renovated Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, home to NHL hockey and NBA basketball. What’s interesting to me is how the digital signage is not just the menu boards, but also the headers for the concessions – which allows the venue operator to rebrand a stand pretty much on the fly. […]
About 18 months ago, Sixteen:Nine first looked at the state of smart displays and raised the question of whether digital signage displays with embedded System on Chip (SoC) players inside represented the future path for the industry. In early 2017, almost every sign pointed to widespread adoption. Today, it is clear that adoption is happening. […]
Taiwan-based hardware manufacturer IAdea has done an interesting partnership with Samsung that sees IAdea’s small signboard displays pre-loaded with Samsung’s own content management software, MagicINFO. […]
This is the lobby of 100 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami – a commercial office tower just across the road from the big Bayfront urban park and entertainment area downtown.

Matt Downey’s time in digital signage traces way, way back to the days when Premier Retail Networks was, by far, the big dog in putting screen networks in retail environments. His time with PRN – working with clients like Walmart – eventually led him into working directly for one of his big grocer clients. Not long after that, he took a leap and started his own company. […]
The main sports arena in the Washington, DC area has unveiled a completely new and upgraded venue and dining experience that includes new signage, wayfinding, and a couple of interesting interactive screen experiences – like pour your own beer stations. […]
A longtime performing arts center near Salt Lake City has made LED displays a huge part of its new $75 million complex. The Hale Centre Theatre at Mountain America Performing Arts Centre, which opened its new home a year ago, uses big LEDs on the facade to promote productions, in the lobby near concessions, and most interestingly, as part of productions.

This is even weirder than the McCafe label thing … A Toronto reader snapped a shot at Yorkdale Mall in Toronto – arguably Canada’s ritziest shopping centre – that had a food court WSR vendor using a whole printed menu sign OVER the digital menu display. This was from about six weeks ago. Cheaper, I suppose, than replacing a dead screen/player, but really??? […]
