Sony continues to seemingly nibble around the edges of the digital signage business – kinda sorta in it, but not in any big or consistent way.

I am starting to wrap my head around InfoComm, which is coming up in early June in Las Vegas. It’s not a show I attend to see new stuff. I go to spend the poking around time that I never get during Digital Signage Expo. […]
Guest Post: Joe Rabah, RMG Networks Imagine that as you enter an airport, there is a personalized message welcoming you, and then further tailored messaging accompanies you throughout your shop, bar and restaurant visits. Then it finally directs you to your departure gate, where you arrive fully informed and having enjoyed a variety of targeted promotions along the way. […]
Google yesterday announced a new service called Android Things, described as a minimal version of the Android operating system that is widely used in digital signage, on media players and in some display manufacturers’ system on chip displays. […]
Not a huge fan of shelf-level LED strips because the resolution isn’t there for close viewing, and the little LED light chips will get the crap beat out of them, but I do like the big aisle-topper ribbon display implementation at a big-box store somewhere, by the LA-area company AWM Smart Shelf. To be fair, the company does say the shelf-edge strips are ruggedized. […]
The Israeli digital signage software shop NoviSign now has its platform and media player running on Sharp’s Open Architecture system-on-chip displays. The company’s online Studio editor runs on the new Sharp 40 and 50-inch PN series 24/7 displays. […]

Hat Tip to Digital Signage Pulse for picking up on this … Samsung’s public information display group, presumably the European wing, did a survey with its digital signage industry panel following ISE 2018, asking 40 or so industry people what they saw and what excited them at the show. […]
This is apparently May The 4th Be With You day – a fun Star Wars riff on the famous movie line, May The Force Be With You. May 4th – May The 4th – May The Force … get it? […]
Digital signage in schools at every level is not new, but Grand Rapids, Michigan-based solutions provider Freshwater Digital has developed a very different spin built around e-paper displays and school safety messaging.

Sharp has expanded the range of 24/7 commercial displays shipping with built-in system on chip media players and Android.

The monitors are 50% brighter than the company’s PN-B series, are 24/7-rated. […]
Display tech companies have not entirely given up on marketing narrow bezel LCDs for video walls, even though the prevailing wisdom is that fine pitch LED will take over as prices drop. There’s still a significant gap, though, unless you want to cross your fingers, toes and eyes and buy from a Shenzhen company with no support outside China and dodgy electronics and LED chips. […]
A reader who travels a lot doing PROPER digital signage deployments pays attention to the varying quality of work done by others and spotted this in a bar at Charlotte, NC’s international airport. The screen is being held to the support column by a zip tie, and that’s it. An injury, and then a lawsuit, waiting to happen. […]
ANC got its start about 20 years ago as a rotational signage company that primarily serviced the pro sports business, and through the years, ANC has grown into a big tech services provider that’s been putting in the visual systems for many arenas and stadiums. […]
