When I walk the DSE show floor I tend to wander up to booths for companies I knew little or nothing about, particularly if they’re doing something that gets my eyebrows up a bit. […]
A Texas start-up called Signagely has started marketing its digital signage offer, which ranges from a $159 Chromebox at the top end to a $39 Kindle Fire TV HDMI stick they’ve got working as a basic player. The start-up’s website doesn’t have a lot of detail in it on the company background, or what’s different here. […]
Microsoft has confirmed its new Windows 10 operating system will be made available free to developers working on the low-cost Raspberry Pi micro PC board. The Pi 2 is among a series of small footprint Internet of Things, or IoT, devices that will be offered a version of the new OS. […]
When I eventually found my way over to the Google booth last week at DSE, I expected to see a Rise Vision pop-up stand and a bunch of hardware devices. I did not expect to see eight different software companies there showing how their web players sit on top of Chromeboxes to drive digital signs. […]
The big buzz out of DSE 2015 was, not surprisingly, the substantial presence of online giant Google – which had a 40 by 40 foot booth attracting large crowds on the first of two trade show hall days. I didn’t get over there until late morning, and quickly saw the area was somewhat swarmed by trade hall attendees. […]
Monster Media has filed a claim against the Boston-based software firm Aerva, in the New York Southern District Court, alleging willful patent infringement. Monster is asserting a patent for retrieving and then displaying social media content on screens. The patent was acquired by Monster when it acquired Locamoda. […]

BroadSign has probably seen the most success of any digital signage software company that has released players and product based around the Android operating system and ARM chips, so it will probably surprise some observers that its new product release goes back to Windows and Intel. […]

The Digital Signage Federation has been quietly doing some work for the past year on the whole patent troll issue – quiet, in part, because of how volatile (read litigious) this whole subject can be. It had been frustrating to watch companies in the digital signage eco-system, and their clients, harassed, slowed and hamstrung at times by legal actions. […]
I think there’s a broad school of thought out there that HTML5 is interesting, but visually pretty limited in what it can do in digital signage. It indeed has its limits and is no video replacement, but its ability to drive motion and incorporate video makes it a big step up from the static presentations that represent a lot of menu board systems out there now. […]
Brian Hammett, Stratos Media Booth 1445 Why do people going to DSE need to put your company on their Must See list of booths? StratosMedia is the first of the next generation in digital engagement and communication platforms. The application is totally built on and powered by Google’s Chrome OS (CrOS) platform. […]
Here’s an image that should raise your eyebrows if you develop and market software in the digital signage eco-system: the DSE floor map, with a rather large Google booth in the second row, right behind NEC. Last year, Google had little corner inside the Intel booth – taking up about as much space as a start-up just happy to be there and get some free booth love. […]
Digital signage is pretty heavily a software-driven business, but I can’t really think of many – if any – signage CMS companies that are are based in or near Silicon Valley. […]
Ryan Gushue, Enplug DSE Booth: FT4 Why do people going to DSE need to put your company on their Must See list of booths? Enplug will be announcing the release of their software development kit (SDK) for its open digital signage platform, which is applying the ‘app’ paradigm of mobile devices to digital signage. […]
