Guest Post: Ellyce Kelly, Visix “Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.” – Alexander Graham Bell After spending a significant amount of time and money planning and choosing your digital signage system – hardware, software, subscriptions, content strategy, staff to manage it, etc. […]
Mention PowerPoint as a digital signage tool and a lot of industry people go into teenager eye-rolling mode. But that’s a bit unfair, as I don’t think it’s ever wise to dismiss a presentation tool familiar and used by millions and millions of business people, globally. […]
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. […]
Guest Post: Vince Banks, Broadsign Around the world, digital out-of-home (DOOH) inventory has begun to be sold programmatically. As major players in the DOOH space make programmatic a top priority, it’s expected that this new sales model, with all its associated benefits, will quickly become an industry standard. […]
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 a cool little concept from the digital creative shop Fusion CI Studios – a morphing animation on a big screen, triggered by a sensor. The idea, in this case, is artwork on a fine pitch LED display that looks like artwork in a lounge. […]
This is a micro dealership/experience center for Renault, one of hundreds of dealer locations across Europe that are now running on Media4Display, the CMS platform marketed by France’s Telelogos. The software has replaced a previous solution that no longer met Renault’s needs, which included: A minimum of three tiers of management – Global, National, Dealers. […]
I kinda made the assumption Adobe Flash was ancient history for software companies in the digital signage ecosystem, but apparently not. The software firm Appspace just pushed out an interesting mass email to its contacts database that says the company happy to announce that by the end of this year, all Flash-based tools in Appspace will be replaced with the Appspace Progressive Web App (PWA). […]
The French firm Intuiface has announced an interesting new partner program squarely aimed at interactive and experiential content designers. The Creative Experts program involves companies that offer experience content design services – who can be connected with end-users or other partners who effectively need someone to design and deliver what shows up on screens. […]
We noted in August, as spotted by a reader, a McCafe in central NYC that was using electrical tape – instead of CMS software – to delete (OK, hide) menu items on a digital board. […]
The Calgary Tower has been part of the downtown of the western Canadian city for 50 years now, and steadily attracts tourists and locals who ride up to the observation deck to look over the city and, particularly, west to the nearby Canadian Rockies mountain range. […]
The Czech software start-up signageOS has launched a software platform that enables established CMS software companies to add low-cost Raspberry Pi micro PCs to its range of media player options, without having to assign the necessary development resources to figure it all out and get it running. […]
It is reasonable to suggest that Sony has been, at most, on the fringes of the digital signage industry for many years. So it’s interesting to stumble across indications that it 1) has a solution and 2) it’s getting used. […]
