When I am consulting with clients I speak a lot about moments and relevance – putting screens and content in place that really speak to that moment. […]
Photo: Daily Mail A woman walking down a street in suburban London sidewalk was seriously injured earlier today when a four ton, 20-ft wide LED billboard run by ClearChannel pulled free from a building wall.

Here’s what I THINK is the first Raspberry Pi to be directly married to an e-paper display to make a rudimentary digital sign – the HAT Display from Percheron Eelectronics. The gadgets are being marketed via a Kickstarter project, at about $57 a unit, or 2 for $101. The HAT has a 2.7-inch e-paper display, as well as a battery-fuelled real time clock. […]
Doing posts on every version release of ALL the signage software companies out there would make for a very busy job, and probably a very boring blog. So while I am happy to learn that Brand X now does this and that, or has made something easier or added support for some gadget, I’m not going to post on all of it. […]

The team at UK-based Output magazine – which is looking squarely at turning the lights off tomorrow – has launched a one-day crowdfunding campaign to raise 10,000 pounds sterling to keep operations running. It just went up live this morning (afternoon in UK) and they are at roughly 20% already of the £10,000 goal. […]
A little start-up in the UK has, for the last few years now, been diligently covering digital signage and its intersection with the more traditional printed sign industry. Output Magazine is a very polished effort that belies the size and relative youth of its owner and staff. […]
The Signagelive guys have a knack for staying on top or ahead of the tech curve to stay current, effectively cover various angles and say Yes to pretty much any way a prospect might want to run their software. Latest example: the UK-based company now runs on LG’s Web OS smart display panels. […]
UK-based specialty display firm Crystal Display Systems will be at ISE in Amsterdam next week with a 27.3 inch square-ish LCD panel that packs 1,000 cd (or nits) of brightness. The puppies are backlit by high bright LEDs and have a resolution of 945 by 1080. The units aren’t, as you might tell by the resolution, exactly square. […]
