Toronto, Ontario – iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. (“iSIGN” or “Company”) (TSX-V: ISD) (OTCQX: ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves advertisers, manufacturers, retailers and advertising agencies globally is pleased to announce that its Smart Antennas will be installed at Mardi Gras World, site of the Host Committee Media Party event during Super Bowl week.

iSIGN will be working closely with the New Orleans Super Bowl XLVII Host Committee to install thirty Smart Antennas, loaded with iSIGN’s award winning Interactive Marketing Solution (“IMS”) software, in the artist studios and warehouse of Mardi Gras World in downtown New Orleans. This 200,000 sq. ft. facility will be the location for the January 29, 2013 NFL Media Party, which will be attended by approximately 6,000 quests. The quest list will include members of the accredited global media, as well as a large contingency of local VIPS, Sponsors and partners.

“Using iSIGN technology, media attendees will be prompted to use their smartphones to receive notifications promoting different elements throughout the party, based on their location as they move through the progressive style party”, stated Mr. Sam Joffray, Associate Executive Director of the New Orleans Super Bowl Host Committee. “Strategically placed iSIGN devices, with near range broadcast capability, will not only enhance the media’s experience as they learn about dishes being served or musical talent performing on specific stages, but the Host Committee will be able to provide additional promotional content for our vendors by providing enhanced data to the attendee; including full restaurant menus, reservation options, links to artists’ websites, or music downloads. The Host Committee is excited to provide this enhanced data experience for both the attendee and for our participating restaurants and artists, as the iSIGN device will deliver rich content and interactivity that traditional or digital signage could never accomplish.”
“We are extremely pleased that we were approached to participate in one of North America’s premier sporting events, and to support the efforts of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and the events they host,” said Mr. Alex Romanov, iSIGN’s Chief Executive Officer. “This event will give us an opportunity to have our product on display in front of a very large audience at an event that attracts a tremendous amount of attention.”

“We believe that this exposure in one of sport’s greatest attractions will serve as an introduction of iSIGN to the rest of the sporting world and could lead to our inclusion at other sporting events,” added Mr. Romanov.

Remote monitoring and kiosk network management software

LOUISVILLE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KIOSK Information Systems (KIOSK) announces its’ latest release of KIOSK CORE, providing new advances in kiosk network management software. The software solution delivers the advanced monitoring capabilities for real-time kiosk network visibility, paired with a full dashboard of remote management tools.

KIOSK CEO Tom Weaver explains, “The CORE platform goes well beyond typical industry standards of remote monitoring. It’s designed for full-function kiosk network management, not just monitoring. KIOSK’s Software Developers created CORE as the cornerstone feature for every software solution KIOSK provides, which has resulted in an impressive set of off-the-shelf features. Despite the sophistication of the feature set, our developers succeeded in keeping it equally intuitive to both administrators and IT developers.”

The KIOSK CORE SERVER resides in the cloud, and serves as a web-based control center that manages application development, registration, and provides visual monitoring tools and event analysis. CORE CLIENT resides on the kiosk enabling communication with CORE SERVER. CORE solution features support one of four dominant benefits:

•Reducing development cycles and field service costs
•Simplifying network & deployment management
•Maximizing kiosk uptime
•Streamlining reporting and analytics

The “anchor features” of CORE include standard items like kiosk registration, monitoring, content update, and health check. Unique features such as firmware / device driver record management and update capabilities are one of many additions KIOSK has made to cut service and support tails associated with high volume or nationwide deployments.

Aside from management features, the key advantage of KIOSK CORE is the extensibility of the architecture. KIOSK developers mandated common software design patterns to simplify customer extensions at all levels of the architecture - ultimately addressing reduced development cost, complexity, and timelines.

Weaver added, “KIOSK’s Software Development and Support Team have grown over 300% just since 2011. Our best software solution designers are among the NRF KIOSK staff that will be on hand to discuss how clients can apply CORE and KIOSK’s entire Software Module Library to accelerate their specific project development needs.” NRF Big Show 2013, Booth #2631, www.kiosk.com

Haivision is bringing several important innovations to ISE 2013. Anchoring the company's end-to-end solutions is the new Makito™ X2 HD H.264 high performance encoder. The company will also present a unique and low-cost approach to IPTV, coupling its Torpedo™ DVB to IP gateways with Amino set-top boxes (STBs). Noteworthy for CoolSign™, a digital signage system that integrates with live IP video, is its new interface, enabling administrators to manage content segments and regions along with a new low-cost signage player. Additionally, Haivision will highlight Internet media delivery technology and a new free performance media player, along with new streaming and recording appliances.

More information about Haivision and its products at ISE 2013 can be found: http://www.haivision.com/about-us/tradeshow/ISE2013/ISE2013

Easy IPTV

Torpedo™ and Amino — Haivision has released a free video player application, InStream™ Amino, for the Amino STB. Without the need for re-encoding video or provisioning any management server, InStream™ Amino presents viewers with channels and their related guide information directly from the DVB sources — as delivered through Torpedo™ DVB to IP gateways. Torpedo supports DVB-S/S2, DVB-T/T2, and streams up to 15 live channels, delivering digital broadcasts directly to IP networks. InStream Amino can also aggregate DVB sources from multiple Torpedo gateways.

Simple, Integrated, Low-Cost Digital Signage

CoolSign™ — Haivision's scalable digital signage platform brings together rich media content and live HD video. Coupled with Haivision's Furnace™ IP video distribution system, the solution provides a complete end-to-end infrastructure for delivering secure video to every desktop, mobile device, and digital display. The Furnace integrates live video, recorded playback channels, digital signage channels, and VOD. CoolSign™ now extends content control within an enterprise to local screen managers with its new interface, enabling casual administrators to manage content segments and regions easily.

Extreme Encoding

Makito™ X2 — Haivision's next generation high-definition H.264 encoding platform with dual-channel HD encoding will make its debut at ISE 2013. The Makito™ X2 H.264 encoder delivers twice the quality or half the bandwidth of competing encoders. The Makito X2 carries on the tradition of the Makito with only 55 milliseconds of encoding latency, an extensive feature set, and the ability to deliver multiple bit rates (MBR) from each source simultaneously. The Makito X2 is available as a standalone appliance or in a rackmount enclosure, supporting up to 12 channels of HD encoding within 1RU.

Speaking Session

Planning Your Multicast Enterprise Video Network
Today's trend of delivering video over IP (VoIP) is rapidly changing the way enterprises manage and distribute their content. By using multicast video workflows, organizations can now fully leverage the opportunities of IP video and mitigate the challenges of this powerful new type of deployment. This presentation will focus on how to migrate from a baseband system successfully by providing an overview on how to select the right encoder, plan for an efficient network, choose an appropriate player/decoder, and take advantage of advanced applications — such as recording, VOD, and access control.

No place on the planet offers experiences quite like Times Square which offers intense digital engagement on outdoor digital displays.

Just in time for the holidays, Aerva’s Picture-to-Screen interactive application will allow users to upload their own photos to two Clear Channel Spectacolor digital screens in Times Square. Users can send picture to nyc@aerva.com to get their picture considered for display on the two digital billboards— and optionally, short captions can be included on the email Subject line.

Both image and captions will be reviewed/moderated and accepted user-generated picture will show on the billboards within 1-15 minutes. The service will be receiving users’ images continuously, but will be shown on the two Spectacolor billboards a few times per hour. Aerva’s Picture-to-Screen technology was first introduced in Times Square to Spectacolor’s client, Kodak, four years ago.

Since then the two companies have collaborated on a number of interactive campaigns for a number of brands (incl. Beats by Dre, Taco Bell, Glidden Paints, Dove, Maybelline New York, MINI and many more), giving them the opportunity to connect with end users through the Spectacolor billboards and Twitter, Facebook, photos and other User Generated Content (UGC).

Aerva’s platform and various applications will allow users that are passing by in Times Square and those that are looking to interact with the Spectacolor’s screens themselves using their mobile devices or social media handles. The digital-out-of-home display (DOOH) market has shifted drastically in the past 3 years. Where once social interaction and customer engagement was seen as a novel approach, today it is a necessity.

Aerva and Spectacolor offer a full solution for integrating social media and UGC into digital displays. Aerva provides the hardware, software platform, Picture-to-Screen widgets and tools, and monitoring: everything needed to provide a seamless experience for brands looking to engage customers.

Powerful Tools for Marketers Aerva’s core products provide marketers and advertisers with a simple interface for creating and managing programming on digital screens, no matter their size. Because Aerva is cloud-based and connects the screens to the Internet, marketers can make changes on the fly and apply Aerva widgets to run programs ranging from providing news and weather to running live surveys, displaying tweets and digital photos.

“Reliable, full-platform offerings are core to what we develop at Aerva,” said Sanjay Manandhar, CEO, Aerva. “Our goal is to provide brands with the best possible way to connect their consumers with digital displays, mobile and social media. Working with Spectacolor, we can offer those solutions in the most exciting, impactful locations.”

SiteKiosk now supports Windows 8 and enhanced digital signage features with this most recent release. “The integration of digital signage features into our kiosk software and remote management solution was a logical step since an increasing number of kiosk deployments require dynamic content management.  After opening an account and registering your kiosks at www.siteremote.net, you can easily publish engaging multi-media campaigns on your kiosks using an intuitive management console.”, said Heinz Horstmann, CEO of PROVISIO, LLC.

SiteKiosk 8 also provides VoIP calling functionality by fully integrating Skype, new start pages, browsers and on-screen keyboard designs. A free trial version is available at www.sitekiosk.com.

MINNEAPOLIS — Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNIN) today announced that its one-for-five reverse stock split was completed effective on the close of business on December 14, 2012. Trading of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market will begin on a split-adjusted basis at the open of trading on December 17, 2012.

On November 29, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a one-for-five share combination of its common stock, also known as a reverse stock split, to be effective at 5:00 p.m. ET on December 14, 2012. The Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split is intended to enable the per share trading price of the Company’s common stock to increase to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(b).

As a result of the reverse stock split, every five shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued and outstanding as of the effective time were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share without any change in the par value of such shares, and the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock was proportionally reduced. A proportionate adjustment also was made to the Company’s outstanding derivative securities. To reflect the reverse stock split, NASDAQ will append the fifth character “D” to the ticker symbol of the Company’s common stock for 20 business days.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Shareholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to fractional shares will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Following the reverse stock split, the Company expects to have approximately 4,998,014 shares of common stock outstanding. The CUSIP number for the post-split shares will be 97652A 302.

Citi Performing Arts Center is one of the nation’s foremost nonprofit performing arts institutions. As guardian of historic venues—the Wang, Shubert, and Emerson Colonial theatres—Citi Performing Arts Center is the heart of Boston’s Theater District.

To broadcast information about the performances on their stages and add vibrancy to the area, the Citi Center has invested in state of the art digital assets. These include 13 interactive displays throughout their campus including 2 digital marquees, 10 indoor digital displays and 1 outdoor display.

Originally, the Center’s staff had to log into 5 different signage systems to manage daily content changes. These systems varied in support for web-based access and file types, making the process very time consuming. Not surprisingly, the visual on-screen content also lacked consistency and clarity.

As programming expanded and new venues were added, Citi Performing Arts Center staff knew it needed a more comprehensive system, exhaustively researching and evaluating available marketplace software systems and including AerWave. Ultimately, Aerva outperformed based on many criteria and was selected as the best integrated solution for all 13 screens.

“It is a pleasure to discover, evaluate and invest in a system like AerWave to manage our disparate display systems. As a result, the time to manage our content, which changes daily, has resulted in significant efficiencies. In addition, Aerva can drive any type of screen, in any orientation, and has innovative interactive applications that others in the marketplace do not,” according to Travis Farrenkopf, Senior Manager of Design & Emerging Technology.

“We are excited about the addition of our new digital signage network across the Citi Performing Arts Center campus” said Josiah Spaulding, President and CEO. “The new displays at our theatres give us the ability to enhance the patron experience and enhance onsite branding presence. The ability to showcase dynamic content such as social media feeds, news, weather, wayfinding, and videos has also increased the potential of ancillary revenue streams.”

“Citi Performing Arts Center is a stalwart in the Boston theatre and entertainment market and at the cutting edge of blending technology into beautiful, historic landmarked theaters. We are pleased that this renowned institution has selected Aerva to help manage its disparate screen types with different orientations, while also adding social media and mobile content so patrons can interact with the screens,” remarked Sanjay Manandhar, CEO of Aerva.

Mvix announces the launch of its much-awaited, cloud-based digital signage system: Xhibit Signage. A combination of a digital signage device (player) and a permission-based, content management system (CMS) accessible via a standard browser, the Xhibit Signage platform is targeted toward enterprise-scale applications.

Sterling, VA (PRWEB) - Mvix announces the launch of its much-awaited, cloud-based digital signage system: Xhibit Signage. The system is a combination of a digital signage device (player) and a role-based, content management system (CMS) accessible via a standard browser from any location over the internet. Built on the robust and highly versatile HTML5 / CSS3 standard, Xhibit Signage CMS is equipped to handle enterprise-scale, geographically-distributed signage network deployments. Pursuing its core business model, Mvix will offer this web application for free to all its clients. In a fast growing and competitive market segment, introduction of this state-of-the-art, content management tool for digital signage is unique and revolutionary.

Xhibit Signage is a fully hosted, web application designed to remotely manage and control media, URL and HTML playback on screens throughout the digital signage network. It rivals dozens of commercially-available software-as-a-service (SaaS) digital signage solutions in terms of its ease of use and versatility. However, offering this platform without any monthly subscription fees makes it a top contender for a large number of digital signage applications and projects. Mvix is the first company in the digital signage industry offering free content management applications for all its signage platforms. “Xhibit Signage is the only, free digital signage software offering zone-based screen layouts, remote network monitoring and comprehensive support for web-media and dynamic web content,” stated Ross McClymonds, VP of Global Sales at Mvix. “We have concentrated on developing an easy-to-use interface that supported all the major browsers. The result is intuitive and effective signage software for our customers.”

Access to any modern internet browser (like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome) as the sole technical requirement, Xhibit Signage provides an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface to manage media content, signage playback and network monitoring from anywhere in the world. The cloud-based software allows upload, update, scheduling, startup, storage, monitoring, and even reboot of devices from any remote location. This web-application places no limit on online storage space or the number of users for each account.

From the hardware side, the content management application is coupled with a robust Xhibit HD Signage System. Built on a dual core processor, solid-state storage architecture with embedded, dual-channel wireless-n capabilities, Xhibit system is capable of 1080p playback via HDMI video out. This competitive-priced, signage device has a micro-footprint (9x7x2in) and can be mounted via a VESA mounting bracket behind LCD display screens.

“We are excited about this new product and thrilled at its potential and applications. Field test results have been remarkable and the market feedback is very encouraging,” said Ross “With our diverse client base, signage applications and the markets we serve, this Xhibit Signage is a perfect fit in our product line-up. I am positive that its ease of use and intuitive interface will be much appreciated by all our customers.”

Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center (ANHC), a comprehensive primary care facility based in Alaska announces the installation of NoviSign’s software using Android compatible technology. ANHC is excited to implement NoviSign Digital Signage to effectively convey announcements, information, and education to clients.

Mike Lane, the IT -Systems Technician of ANHC just installed NoviSign’s software this week by using a mini android PC stick . The center is excited to have a dozen screens that effectively broadcast notifications, announcements, educational blurbs, and seasonal health information, amongst other valuable insights for patients. For optimal client interaction, one of the screens is strategically placed at the entrance of the facility when patients are “checking-in.”

Last week, Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center was extremely frustrated with their lack of ability to effectively communicate with patients.  Mike Lane, an IT Technician comments on the inhibitors of successful Digital Signage implementation in the past. “The generic unit had poorly designed web interface, low reliability, and an investment in excess of 40 hours of labor. Often, players would freeze and we'd have to grab a ladder to manually reboot each player.” Finally, Lane researched other simpler, easier ways to deploy Digital Signage with Android-compatible software. NoviSign was his first choice.

With the installation of NoviSign’s digital signage this week, ANHC is moving in a different direction to relay essential information to clients, much like other hospitals and clinics who seek to provide relevant and timely information to patients, staff, and visitors. Digital Signgage is an efficient and cost-effective way for medical facilities to keep people informed, educated, and up to date on news. The screens also allow ANHC and similar medical centers to promote their services. Additionally, the signage is a form of entertainment while patients are waiting for their appointments. Mike reflects on how easy and enjoyable the digital signage transition was for his staff. “I was able to create a reliable and efficient digital signage solution that could be controlled and maintained remotely.”

Mike implemented NoviSign’s Saas (software as a service) by simply buying a mini Android PC Player for each of his TV screens. Each mini android is connected to the screen via HDMI. With the facility’s WIFI/LAN network support, he updates the playlists online in a manner of minutes, enabling him to broadcast to the screens from any remote location in real time. This is especially important in the healthcare industry, where health sensitive information is constantly changing and urgent messages need to be brought to patients’ attention.

Gil Matlizah, the Founder and CEO of NoviSign, is pleased to be working with ANHC. “We are happy to have our system installed at ANHC. One of the things that impressed us with this center was the IT team’s ability to set up this fully Android-based system in such a short time span. They are already seeing a difference with how they engage with patients when they arrive at the medical center and are instantly drawn to the dynamic information and images broadcasted on the screens. We are excited to follow this facility’s client engagement in the next few months as they improve the way they interact with patients.”

Eden Prairie, Minnesota – Digital Clinic has introduced a new vertical version of its popular dental digital signage system. The new solution is the only social media enabled vertical digital signage available for the dental market today.  Digital Clinic customers now have the flexibility to orient their screens two ways: vertically in portrait orientation or horizontally in the traditional landscape orientation.

The vertical signage offers a more novel, eye-catching look than horizontally mounted systems, which have the conventional look of a television screen.  For dental practices that are tight on space, vertical digital signage is an ideal solution. Vertical signage occupies less horizontal wall real estate, instead favoring vertical space, which is at less of a premium. Because of its narrower form factor, vertical signage is also great for mounting on architectural columns.

Digital Clinic customers are excited about the new orientation options. Dr. Bill Busch D.D.S., M.A.G.D. was one of the first to install the vertical signage at his practice in North Kansas, MO.  “We were very excited to install Digital Clinic’s digital signage in our waiting area,” Dr. Busch said. “We have a unique layout, and the vertical orientation allowed us to fit a large screen perfectly in our space. We like how easy it is to visually showcase what we offer, and our patients enjoy the fun and helpful information displayed onscreen.”

The vertical digital signage offers the same great features and benefits Digital Clinic’s digital signage is known for. Dental practitioners can spruce up the look of their practice and give patients an enjoyable and engaging experience while they wait for their appointment. Onscreen in high definition, Digital Clinic’s digital signage displays dental industry news, custom marketing messaging, and social media feeds.

The digital signage system from Digital Clinic also integrates with Facebook, Twitter and Demandforce so dental practices can leverage the power of social media and patient reviews and testimonials right in the waiting room.  Digital Clinic serves dental practitioners with strategic digital signage systems across North America. Sold through Henry Schein Dental, Digital Clinic is an award winning dental marketing solution and a leader in social media enabled digital signage.

MokiManage brings cloud-based monitoring and alerts to iPad and Android Kiosks, powering the most engaging and reliable customer experiences

MokiManage and MokiTouch now represent the most complete solution for deploying, managing and monitoring tablet kiosks and digital signage

LEHI, Utah,  /PRNewswire/ -- In nearly every type of consumer experience, tablets are making an impact that benefits consumers and businesses alike.

Businesses must correctly configure and deploy the tablet, manage kiosk and device settings, and continually monitor the performance, including connectivity.

To provide businesses with the control and monitoring abilities needed to provide this complete experience, MokiManage introduces the capability to manage the complete lifecycle of a tablet kiosk, including: deployment, management and monitoring.

MokiManage includes important new features that provide businesses with more information and greater control:

    Monitoring: Administrators can now monitor how an app is running on each device, including its memory and CPU usage, network connectivity and battery state. Activity logs will also be available for each device so it can be determined if a device has a poor WiFi connection or if there is another problem that needs to be addressed.

    Alerts: Administrators will receive email alerts when the device is unplugged, battery life dips below 75 percent, 50 percent and 25 percent, the device hasn't reported in, and the device has been un-enrolled from the platform.

    Deployment: Support for Apple Configurator enables the quick deployment of any number of iPads. Also supports the new iOS 6 App Lock feature, which can be applied and removed remotely.

    Screensaver Playlists: Administrators can now create playlists of video or media content to display as a screensaver on a kiosk or as tablet digital signage.

    Simplified Pricing: MokiManage now has one pricing plan for all remote kiosk management and monitoring features

"With MokiManage, our customers will be able to provide a highly-interactive experience with the reliability and scale that has not been delivered to-date for tablet kiosks," said Tom Karren, CEO & co-founder of MokiMobility. "The new features in MokiManage allow even more control and visibility into the engaging experiences that are so critical for businesses in building their brand and growing customer relationships."

MokiTouch is the only cross-platform iPad and Android kiosk and digital signage app that can display websites, videos, and images with remote management and monitoring. MokiManage and MokiTouch supports iOS on the iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4 and iPad Mini running iOS 5, iOS 6, and Android tablets from Samsung (Galaxy Tab 2), and Asus (TF300T and Nexus 7) running Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean.

Virgin Media today open its doors to a brand new flagship store where interactive digital signage is at the forefront.

The unique store located in London’s Westfield Shopping Centre has been transformed into a cosy home away from home designed to encourage customers to sit down, relax and enjoy Virgin Media’s products and services.  The store utilizes eight different digital signage applications created and developed by Acquire Digital, each offering an opportunity for customers to play, browse, watch and interact with the services. 

Acquire Digital, specialists in digital interaction, are responsible for creating each and every digital aspect for the home-like store ranging from giant touch screens to gesture controlled information points. Even the gloriously sunny sky in the artificial garden is presented on a canvas of synchronized screens that entice customers to gaze at passing Virgin planes, hot air balloons and spaceships.

The store boasts an impressive giant touch screen video wall displaying the latest phone models on offer. Controlled through touch, customers can swipe through mobile ranges selecting individual phones for a closer look at features and pricing. Rob Smith, Head of Programming and Development at Acquire Digital explained, ‘In order to play videos while simultaneously displaying live information we had to build a solution that allowed these components to run smoothly.  This links to a custom built web-based content management system to allow staff to make instant changes to product information and view important statistics such as how many times a particular product had been viewed.’

Another impressive way that the store utilizes digital signage is demonstrated by Virgin Media’s tariff selector.  An interactive touch screen device hosted on a 55 inch screen, the tariff selector intuitively selects the best tariffs based on information supplied by the customer simply by moving sliding buttons, and uses an algorithm to determine the best tariff for them.

‘One of the main requirements for Virgin Media was to inject fun into everything and encourage exploration,’ explains Mat Bartram, Head of Design at Acquire. He added ‘Virgin Media is an exciting brand to work with and has provided us with the opportunity to be really creative and push the boundaries of traditional digital signage.  With such a broad range of digital signage being used we’ve been able to create content from films to 3D animation, gesture controls and content for touchscreens applications.’

The Acquire Digital team has created a motion sensor driven ‘front door’ for the store which detects approaching customers triggering a door bell sound. The door then opens to reveal a host of Virgin related creatures such as a dinosaur, a festive penguin and Virgin Media’s very own celebrity ambassador, Mo Farrah.  Once inside, customers can explore the home-based media entertainment packages through gesture controlled information displays, operated through a Kinect system, watch TiVo or browse through their mobile phone range.

Paul Williams, Retail Director at Virgin Media said, ‘It was important for us to utilize digital solutions within our new store. The team at Acquire Digital were able to develop pioneering solutions that work well together in creating a dynamic, innovative and engaging environment. He added, ‘I think it will prove successful in creating an experience that is both unique and memorable for our customers.’

Livewire Digital is pleased to announce the deployment of its eConcierge kiosk and digital signage software for the Historic Prospect Hill Cemetery Heritage Foundation. The interactive digital sign was unveiled during a Veteran's Day weekend ceremony, and features photos and information of over 6,600 soldiers lost in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It's really unique... We have the ability to show the photos of every U.S. service person who (gave) their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.

York, PA (PRWEB) - In a Veteran's Day weekend ceremony at Prospect Hill Cemetery, a new digital Fallen Heroes memorial was unveiled to the public. The 46" touchscreen-based digital sign honors the more than 6,600 soldiers killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars by rotating through pictures submitted by families of the deceased. The pictures range from birthday celebrations, to holiday get-togethers, and to ski trips, allowing visitors to view the more personal side of these heroes.

The project was the result of a promise Historic Prospect Hill Cemetery Heritage Foundation President Jack Sommer made to local families in 2010 when the cemetery retired a temporary memorial of over 4,400 flags representing the soldiers lost in Iraq. Encased in black granite, the interactive digital sign represents a "more fitting, permanent memorial" according to Sommer. The cemetery worked with local businesses for two years to make the vision a reality.

Livewire Digital, a Patriot Sponsor, provided the technology behind the memorial. Its eConcierge digital signage and content management system powers the display's rotation of photos. At the touch of a finger on the screen, visitors may search for soldiers by name, state, branch of service, and date of death. An additional touch on the search results yields more photos and information about each soldier.

Livewire's CEO, David McCracken comments "Livewire Digital is proud to be a sponsor of the memorial. These men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice for all Americans, and this is just one small way to pay tribute to them."

The digital sign utilizes a hi-bright LCD screen which allows it to be easily seen during daylight hours. "It's really unique," says Sommer. "We have the ability to show the photos of every U.S. service person who (gave) their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan." York-based Gamlet, Inc. donated the metal fixtures and expertise in securing the LCD to the granite.

Gold Star families of fallen soldiers may send pictures to fallenheroes (at) prospecthill (dot) org for inclusion in the digital signage display.

NCR APTRA Interactive Teller brings intimate customer experience through a self-service device

DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wright-Patt Credit Union, which services more than 230,000 members in Southwest Ohio, is bringing a state-of-the-art branch banking experience to its members, beginning in February 2013. Using APTRA Interactive Teller from NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), Wright-Patt members will be able to conduct remote, assisted-teller transactions over an ATM, interacting live with a centralized Wright-Patt teller who has control of the machine. Wright-Patt will begin testing 19 APTRA Interactive Teller units in a variety of locations, including existing and new branch lobbies, branch drive-throughs, and off-site locations.

APTRA Interactive Teller is part of NCR’s assisted service suite of solutions, combining the best of video collaboration and remote transaction-processing technology on an ATM. Through Interactive Teller, members will be able to connect and interact with a remote teller in a highly personalized, two-way audio/video experience. Financial institutions that have already installed Interactive Teller have used the remote teller service to instantly and efficiently deploy extra service capability to help reduce teller wait times during busy times of the day, offer teller services after the branch has closed, and add branch services in areas where they do not have a branch presence.

“We believe that NCR’s technology will help us increase our members’ convenience and access to teller services,” said Darrick Weeks, chief operating officer, Wright-Patt Credit Union. “What we liked about NCR’s solution was that it was a direct interaction with a live teller who has complete control of the ATM, rather than just verbal assistance from a remote employee. Interactive Teller is easy to use and intuitive, and we are optimistic that it will provide a great experience to our members.”

Wright-Patt will install 12 walk-up units in branch lobbies and off-site locations, and seven additional units in branch drive-throughs.

Beyond talking to a teller, Interactive Teller offers more services than can be conducted on an ATM or other self-service devices. For instance, customers can perform secure transactions without using a traditional ATM card and, like branch tellers, remote tellers can provide customers access to cash in their accounts in amounts over the standard ATM daily cash withdrawal limits. Approximately 95 percent of all teller transactions can be performed via Interactive Teller in addition to the usual product sales and service that an in branch teller provides.

NCR began the first installations of Interactive Teller in March 2012, in partnership with uGenius Technologies – a Utah-based pioneer in video banking solutions. Wright-Patt is working with ATOM Financial Products on the purchase, installation and servicing of Interactive Teller. ATOM has been an NCR solutions partner since 2006.

(“iSIGN” or “Company”) (TSX-V: ISD) (OTCQX: ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves advertisers, manufacturers, retailers and advertising agencies globally is pleased to provide an update to its initial purchase order resulting from the distribution agreement with GraphicMedia, Inc. (“Graphic”).

As previously announced on November 27, 2012, iSIGN received a purchase order from Graphic for 6,000 Smart Antennas (“Units”). An immediate quantity of 500 Units will be shipped, with 200 Units to be installed into National Oil (“National”) owned gas stations and 300 Units to be installed into other major gas station locations supplied by National.

After publishing ‘’Digital Signage for Hospitality’’ in July and a ‘’Digital Signage Glossary’’ at the end of September, Dynamax completes its educational resource series with the addition of a new white paper that highlights the benefits of the system in a healthcare environment.

As cost-reduction and patients satisfaction are the two mantras in healthcare nowadays ‘’Digital Signage for Healthcare’’ puts the emphasis on these two, explaining the connection between information, patients’ experience, results and funding.

Making reference to recent research conducted in the UK and announcements from Britain’s National Health Service officials (i.e. the aim of reducing paper consumption and increasing IT investments), the paper explains why digital signs are a relevant choice now and in the future.

The 16- page document goes on by presenting the advantages of cloud-based digital signage systems without failing to mention their potential limitations and the strong points of their premise-based counterparts, letting the reader choose between the two. It also encourages readers to go beyond content and technology and see the grander scheme of things, the context-their audience’s interests and the type of messages that allow them to meet their systems’ goals.

The white paper proposes that healthcare institutions should set measurable objectives for their networks of displays such as sign up rates for advertised services, fewer complains or lower print-related costs. They should regularly check if those are attained and adapt their strategy accordingly. Readers are encouraged to experiment with the technology and leverage the flexibility provided by digital signage software (like Dynamax's digitalsignage.NET) to test and see what content/timing/location combinations works best for them.

‘’Digital Signage for Healthcare’’ is available for download from Dynamax’s website http://www.digitalsignage.net/digital-signage-for-healthcare/.

University’s Digital Media Program at Stratford Campus is Home to the Convergence of Technology, Business and Arts 

KITCHENER, Ont. – Christie® visual technology solutions are playing a key role in visualizing the University of Waterloo’s mission to intersect technology, business and art under the Faculty of Arts programs – a first in Canada – at its new Stratford, Ontario campus.

Christie’s world-leading digital projection and display technologies are omnipresent on the new Stratford campus – a campus designed to create the next generation of digital media graduates, jobs, content and companies. With innovative solutions that meet the needs of this campus, Christie products will unleash the creative minds of university students and establish an incubator that affords leading researchers and businesses the opportunity to drive new ideas for commercialization.

“Christie’s technology will showcase our students’ content work, highlight creativity and provide a unique canvas for complex and detailed digital media research, visualization and commercialization,” said Ginny Dybenko, executive director of the University of Waterloo Stratford Campus.

Christie MicroTiles  - A Towering Presence 

As the atrium’s commanding centerpiece, the built-in 5 units wide by 30 units high (6.5 feet wide by 30 feet high), digital video wall incorporates 150 award-winning Christie® MicroTiles®. These eye-catching, digital building blocks enable architects and integrators to incorporate stunning video into their designs and builds.  Combining the strengths of both DLP® and LED technology, MicroTiles can reproduce 115 percent of the NTSC color gamut, exceeding typical LCD flat panels by more than 50 percent. Each display unit automatically detects its neighbors, and self-calibrates for color and brightness to optimize the overall presentation. To keep the massive three-story installation secured to the wall, rp Visuals Solutions, working with Christie’s Research and Innovation group,  designed and installed a rear-mounting bracket with steel-support beams. Toronto’s Westbury National Show Systems project managed the installation on behalf of the University of Waterloo.

“Digital media technologies in the classroom give university students access to technologies that are rapidly evolving in today’s business economy.  The shaping and spacing of the global digital economy begins where students can practice, develop and innovate firsthand and where researchers can generate and drive innovative ideas,” said Dr. Paul Salvini, chief technology officer at Christie, about the company’s contribution of visual digital technology to the university campus.

Christie Solutions Powering and Managing Christie MicroTiles behind the scenes

In addition to the Christie MicroTiles in the atrium, several other Christie products make up the technology mix on campus.  The Christie-designed media management system, which when used with the Christie Spyder X20 video processor allows students to switch from multiple zones of high-resolution and low-resolution content simultaneously, or to drive the entire wall with uniform resolution and portray dramatic three-story tall images.  The students also have a range of options for publishing content onto the canvas.  Christie Jumpstart content management software makes it easy to put stunning, high resolution content onto a multi-display or large tiled digital canvas. With its simple interface, even students at the beginner level can use it. This combination of powerful processing capabilities and simple content management software will help the students to stretch the capabilities of what is currently possible.

55” flat panels create PIE concept for control room environment

The Christie PIE (Personal Immersive Environment) concept at the Stratford Campus features a four-panel arrangement using Christie FHD551-X HD LCD  55” flat panels in portrait mode for a roughly 90 degree field of view (FOV). The PIE is currently being used to monitor and program the content that is featured on the showpiece digital wall. Easily flipped into landscape to suit the user’s needs, it is a low-cost faceted display system that is perfect for control room environments. 

Christie in the classrooms and on-foot

Six Christie LWU505 3LCD projectors, with premium features, high resolution in a widescreen format are ceiling mounted at the Stratford Campus. The LWU505 is compact, full featured making it a perfect presentation devise. Stratford Campus incorporated the Christie LW401 for its low maintenance and low cost of ownership to be used in mobile situations due to is portable design, making it easy to bring presentations from classroom to classroom. With the projector’s various options of wireless capability, PC-Less presentation via USB port or content delivery when installed on a network. It also provides a crucial feature of displaying campus wide notifications when integrated to the network.

Christie’s Dave Muscat, senior director of sales for Canada, who participated in the opening of the campus, recalls people’s reaction to the brilliant fireworks on the three-story wall when they were illuminated for the first time during the opening celebration. “It was a very magical moment for me to see our MicroTiles in a higher education setting and knowing that Christie’s products will make a difference in advancing students’ and researchers’ knowledge of digital media. Christie looks forward to working with the students to develop new ways of collaborating with the facility in content creation and design,” Muscat added.

RFID tracking technology and mobile pick-up application

LOUISVILLE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The recently published IBM 2012 Cyber Monday Benchmark Study sites on-line shopping rose 30% over 2011, with mobile shopping up 70% over the previous year. This not only represents a staggering growth trend in the volume of home deliveries, but also a legitimate rise in consumer concern over missed and stolen shipments.

At the 2013 NRF Big Show, KIOSK Information Systems (KIOSK) will be demonstrating “LockSpot” Site-to-Store Automated Locker Technology, paired with mobile consumer pick-up applications (Booth #2631). According to Tom Weaver, CEO of KIOSK Information Systems, “The LockSpot platform provides a simple and cost-effective path to implement self-service site-to-store delivery options. On-demand locker delivery provides consumers the ability to complete a secure pickup of their online purchase at their convenience, by simply entering an on-screen delivery code sent to their smart phone. The flip side Retailer benefits are twofold; self-service delivery options free of ongoing labor costs, and increased foot traffic right back into their store. KIOSK is currently engaged in multiple custom locker solutions, and we see strong increased retail demand potential in 2013. If you combine the pending 2013 residential delivery surcharge announcements of major carriers with increased home delivery theft concerns, that points directly to growth in self-service locker solutions.”

The KIOSK NRF Retail Locker demonstration unit will also showcase RFID technology options to activate the door release mechanism, while facilitating automated locker inventory tracking. These features enable locker systems to be adapted as vending solutions, consumer rental, or employee-facing check-out solutions, where locker access and inventory is controlled with an RFID membership card. A member / associate is issued an RFID card tied to their member data, which unlocks the contents and records tracking data on locker contents (associate tools, retail rentals, or retail goods for auto delivery). KIOSK’s customized delivery platforms can automate delivery, tracking, and return transactions with customized back-end integration to the appropriate POS or reporting systems.

Weaver adds, “KIOSK will offer interactive Locker platform technology demonstrations with our Solution Design Team on hand to answer questions about customized configurations and application design. As with any KIOSK Solution, it’s about how we can efficiently tailor existing self-service application assets with appropriate platform design & integration services for each individual client, as opposed to a ‘one-size-fits-all’ design mentality.”

KIOSK will have a full NRF portfolio of retail self-service solutions including endless aisle, loyalty, in-store bill payment, rental & locker solutions, and automated retail delivery systems - Booth #2631, www.kiosk.com.

Tampa, Florida – iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. (“iSIGN” or “Company”) (OTCQX: ISDSF) (TSX-V: ISD), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves advertisers, manufacturers, retailers and advertising agencies globally is pleased to announce that it has recently completed the installation of several Smart Antennas (“Units”)in various locations in the historic city of Dunedin, Florida.

This installation marks the second city that iSIGN has installed its Units into, following their August 2012 installation in Safety Harbor.

“We have installed Units from Main Street down to the waterfront,” stated Mr. Alex Romanov, iSIGN’s Chief Executive Officer. “The adoption and installation was quicker than our Safety Harbor one due to the greater awareness that iSIGN and our technology enjoys, as well as the benefits that retailers receive from our solution.”

“The Dunedin and Safety Harbor installations are generating a rich cache of data, due to the diversity in the demographics of these two cities and the variety of the retailers where we are installed,” added Mr. Romanov. “I’m looking forward to seeing the information once Baylor University completes their research and analysis and turns the raw data into publishable information.”

“We have targeted the city of Clearwater for our next installation, specifically the downtown and beaches area, and have recently started to contact retailers located there,” added Mr. Romanov.

“I am looking forward to bringing our solution into Clearwater as well as other cities in Florida,” stated Mr. Patrick Mealy, iSIGN’s Mobile Media Account Manager. “As we expand into other cities, I expect that the installation will become easier and faster due to the growing recognition of what we are bringing to retailers. In fact, I can see the day coming when cities will be approaching us to install Units into their facilities.”

Scala and its partners were recognized for Digital Signage excellence at the Daily DOOH Gala Awards.

Exton, PA (PRWEB) - Scala, Inc. and its partners were recognized by the Daily DOOH for excellence in Digital Signage at the Daily DOOH Gala Awards hosted in London last week. Scala Certified Partner Telecine received an award for Best Office Building/Corporate Install for the Bloomberg Link Display. The Scala powered “Two Towers West” installation in London also brought home a “Reggie” for best original billboard.

The Link Display is an architectural focal point in Bloomberg’s global headquarters in New York. It seamlessly integrates with the architecture and is located in the central artery of the building where visitors and employees meet and congregate. Using Scala, the Link showcases Bloomberg’s real-time financial data in bold and innovative ways, featuring dynamic “shows” including Currency, Market Indices, Weather and News. The Link has become an icon for the Bloomberg brand and is seen daily on Bloomberg Television.

“We’re absolutely thrilled with this prestigious award,” said James Fine, President, Telecine Multimedia. “Working in tandem with a world class content provider like Bloomberg has been a wonderful experience. They fully understand what it takes to create, schedule and distribute compelling content. Incorporating their building design into their corporate communications content strategy ensured a fully transparent experience that would enhance their brand.”

“Bloomberg’s innovative integration of digital signage into their company’s culture illustrates the excellence that can be achieved when leveraging the power of Scala with the creative skills of an extraordinary partner like Telecine,” says Harry Horn, Vice President Marketing, Scala, Inc. “The result reinforces Bloomberg’s exceptional brand and ensures that their message commands attention.”

The Two Towers West install, which is run by Ocean Outdoor, is an impressive ‘digital gateway’ into the city, located on the A4 just outside of London. The massive towers are in a prime location that targets a mass audience of commuters entering London each day.

“The Two Towers West install is one of the most visible Scala powered installations on the globe, their impressive aesthetic features and synced content, along with their placement on the A4 allow them to be an extremely effective advertising platform,” says Harry Horn, Vice President Marketing, Scala,Inc.

Former Scala CEO Gerard Bucas was awarded a Lifetime Achievement award. Accepted by Scala CEO Tom Nix on behalf of Mr. Bucas, the award was given to the individual who the judging committee believes has done the most to further the digital signage industry. Gerard Bucas retired as Scala’s longest serving CEO in October, 2011. During his time at Scala, Mr. Bucas successfully shaped and established Scala as a market leader and top innovator in Digital Signage.

“Although I am retiring... ‘leisure’ is not my strong suit... so I am sure I will find one or more new challenges/ventures to dig my teeth into... you can be sure it will be global as that is what I do best,” said Mr. Bucas in a previous interview.

Three other Scala powered installations were nominated for Daily DOOH Gala Awards: Christie’s London Stock Exchange, Tank and Rast (run by ISS and SEEN MEDIA), and Westfield Shopping Mall (deployed by Esprit Digital). To find out more, case studies of each installation can be found at http://scala.com/case-studies.

NCR Mobile Pay makes it easy to pay, re-order from your smartphone

DULUTH, Ga. – NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today announced the launch of NCR Mobile Pay, a new solution that enables restaurant patrons with a smartphone to browse their bill, re-order menu items and alert their server, among other features. NCR Mobile Pay is designed for restaurants that use NCR Aloha point-of-sale (POS) technology, enabling cloud-based credit card processing on mobile devices.

Gartner anticipates that the worldwide mobile payment transactions values will surpass $171.5 billion in 2012, a 61.9 percent increase from 2011, and will average 42-percent annual growth between 2011 and 2016. "We are forecasting a market worth $617 billion with 448 million users by 2016," Sandy Shen, the company’s research director, said in a statement earlier this year.*

“We want restaurant patrons to have the best experience possible while dining. NCR Mobile Pay is the newest way we do that. Review your order, add to it, take a survey, tip and pay. We’ve put all of those abilities in the consumer’s control,” said Mike Finley, vice president and chief technology officer of hosted solutions, NCR Hospitality. “With NCR Mobile Pay, consumers take action instead of waiting.  It’s the promise of mobility, delivered by NCR.”

Tightly integrated into the NCR Aloha point-of-sale solution, NCR Mobile Pay encrypts and securely accepts credit card information with password protection. The solution allows patrons to “favorite” an item, re-order items, alert a server, provide feedback or get an emailed receipt, all integrated with social media just the way mobile users expect. NCR Mobile Pay is secure, simple to use and helps to improve order accuracy, increase speed of service, and reduce credit card fraud because the actual credit card is never handled by the server.

NCR Mobile Pay is accessible by a website or a QR code, provided by the restaurant’s server, which takes users directly to the check on their mobile browser.

City Winery, a restaurant in New York City, is one of the early adopters of NCR Mobile Pay and has been using the solution since August. Since adoption of the solution, City Winery has seen an increase in their check averages.

“We host concerts, food & wine classes and private events in addition to having a traditional restaurant setting,” said David Richter, general manager, City Winery - New York. “At the end of these events we have multiple tables that our servers are trying to close-out at the same time, which can be a real challenge. We’ve found NCR Mobile Pay to be an extremely valuable asset that allows our customers to pay their bill without waiting for their server, if they so choose.”

Livewire Digital is pleased to announce the deployment of its eConcierge kiosk and digital signage product in New York City. The system, developed for New York-based City24/7, is to be installed at 250 locations throughout the city. Livewire worked in collaboration with multiple blue chip technology companies to integrate location-based restaurant and shopping information with new Zagat ratings into its eConcierge framework.

YORK, PA (PRWEB) -- Livewire Digital is pleased to announce the deployment of its eConcierge® Content Management System and interactive digital signs throughout the city of New York. The first 32” touch screen-based screens were unveiled on November 20 in Union Square by City24/7, a New York company installing over 250 units within Manhattan and other boroughs within the next few months.

The project has been the collaborative effort of a number of hi-tech companies working with City24/7 and Livewire. The screens provide New Yorkers with access to location-based information such as restaurants, parks, and shopping venues as well as local events and city-wide events. When not in use, the screens will display entertaining content and advertisements. Users will have the ability to view more information about the ads at the touch of a finger.

Livewire’s hosted eConcierge® system provides the ability for City24/7 to easily maintain and update the information and ads displayed on the remote digital signs. Livewire’s technology also makes the content readily available to City24/7’s web site and mobile application.

Livewire’s President, David McCracken comments “Livewire Digital is thrilled to be partnered with City24/7 on this initiative as both companies share a common vision of empowering people to connect with information they want and need, wherever they are, and whenever they want it.”

McCracken further explains “We’ve seen a natural progression over the past few years in user engagement activity, beginning first with single points of information via kiosks in stores and hotels and then migrating to larger deployments of interactive digital signs in venues such as resorts and malls. Today, marks the turning point to linking people, government offices, and private services together across entire cities such as New York City, by integrating kiosk, digital signage, and mobile technologies. While New York City offers a perfect setting for the initial deployment due to its pedestrian lifestyle, this Smart City concept is applicable to cities and towns of all sizes. The beauty of the City24/7 Smart Screen offering is that it can easily scale to accommodate all communities thanks to Livewire’s eConcierge product.”

Tom Touchet, City24/7 CEO says, “Livewire Digital’s eConcierge® system gives us the ability to display content that is important for NYC and provides scalability that can apply to all cities, large and small. I hope to see this system becoming part of the fabric of a variety of cities.”

GeneralTouch Technology Co., Ltd., a world leading touch products and solutions provider with over 12 years of continuous innovation in the touch field, announced the birth of a newly patented multi-touch technology - Projected Infrared Touch (PIT). Unlike any, PIT has garnered most of the advantages from other touch technologies, purged many inbuilt limitations and will virtually become an all-encompassing solution that will empower the touch industry to a higher level. “This is an amazing touch technology and we are really looking forward to using it in our projects,” the Korean, Japanese, German, UK and Spanish partners claimed after having evaluated a PIT prototype.
 
Matchless multi-touch capability

PIT can support 2, 5, 10 and up to 32 points simultaneous touches with a fast response time of no more than 10ms in the case of a 10-point multi-touch screen. Its high resolution and precision have minimized the distance between touch points to 3mm in PIT multi-touch. What is more phenomenal and mind-blowing is that PIT recognizes different nib shapes of stylus. It opens a whole new world of multi-touch functions and offers users unlimited possibilities in designing and realizing unique applications.
 
Exceptional environmental adaptability

The PIT touchscreen is a piece of pure glass, with the anti-glare or anti-vandal features as added options. Its construction is highly sealable and is effective against dust and liquid invasion. It continues to work even with scratches on its screen surface. Moreover, the grounding design of PIT touchscreens is much simpler in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding when it is compared with PCAP touchscreens. Needless to say, PIT is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor applications.
 
Appealing aesthetics

A PIT touchscreen subtly features a 2mm minuscule edge-bezel which is made up of the protruding base of its intrinsic crystal prism to achieve near true-flat design. This fine edge-bezel appearance makes any single-touch or multi-touch system aesthetically appealing and broadens its functionality. Unlike traditional matrix infrared and optical touchscreens with their inherent border frame, PIT does not have such an obstruction and touchscreen points at extreme edges and corners can be easily activated. This vital feature enables PIT touchscreens to operate in Windows 8, which requires particular touch gestures such as swiping from the screen edge to the display area in opening, closing or switching applications. More importantly, the diminutive edge-bezel also spells ease of integration and maintenance.
 
First-rate flexibility

PIT comes in sizes ranging from 10.4” to 55” and is suitable for All-in-one (AIO) PC, interactive digital signage (IDS), self-service kiosk, gaming and amusement equipment, and more. As the whole surface area of the PIT touchscreen is touch ready, the border around the view area (VA) can accommodate Menu, Home, Back operation icons or whatever shortcuts that may provide ease of operation for the end-users. Above all, PIT has a remarkably high level of customization in facilitating differentiation of product design without incurring high re-engineering costs as compared with some other touch technologies such as PCAP (Projected Capacitive Technology).
 
Innovative interactive experience

When dragging or sliding or writing with fingers on a PIT touchscreen, users will feel it is silky and smooth. Moreover, the interactive experience is further heightened as users are at liberty to choose their favorite stylus, be it a finger, a pencil, a glove or any pointed tip, because PIT will respond to any kind of stylus. With a sturdy, waterproof, dustproof structure and coupled with low maintenance, PIT will certainly delight users everywhere.
 
Considerable cost-effectiveness

For a multi-touch technology with such rich options, the product architecture of PIT is rather uncomplicated and its production process is undemanding. Hence, mass production does not require fancy engineering, and customization involving variation of sizes and aspect ratios is rather straightforward. In addition, PIT offers users greater added value in terms of massive cost savings, high product yield and a touch product that delivers superior functionality and performance.
 
Prodigious profitability
                                     
The ubiquity of touchscreens is evident from its inclusion in myriads of electronic gadgets and devices. Market research analyses have projected a rapid annual growth rate with the global touch market size reaching $15 billion by 2015. And with the recent release of Windows 8, demand for touchscreens as a standard component of the Personal Computer (PC) will rise even further. PIT complements well with the AIO PC. PC manufacturers will no longer be constrained by particular drawbacks in the other touch technologies in terms of cost, viability, mechanics, aesthetics, functionality, and more. With PIT as a catalyst, PC-Touch integration will be accelerated and so will the growth rate of the global touch market.

Digital Display Technology in Waterfall Formation Invites Shoppers into Distinctive Visual Experience
 
KITCHENER, Ont. – A waterfall array of Christie® MicroTiles® is inviting customers into the retail stores of Canadian media giant Shaw Communications, where the digital display technology educates customers about the Shaw universe that includes cable television, Internet and phone service.  
 
Since the first 4-units high by 6-units wide array was installed in May at the Sunridge Mall store in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the unique waterfall displays are now up and operating in three more Shaw retail locations in Alberta and British Columbia, with more installations planned in the future.
 
“We wanted to make the stores exciting enough so the customer would look at the displays and see a reason to walk into the store,” said James Ferguson, national director, Retail, Shaw Communications. “Christie MicroTiles were the answer.”
 
Combining proven DLP® technology with the long life and reliability of LED, Christie MicroTiles are designed for maximum image quality in demanding indoor, high-ambient light environments. At just 16 inches wide by 12 tall and less than a foot deep, they are ideal for a wide range of applications, including architectural elements, out-of-home advertising, command and control video walls, and event production.
 
An Easy Decision

According to Ferguson, the decision to use Christie MicroTiles was easy because Shaw – parent company of Global Television – wanted a technology that would give it a “leg up” on other stores and Applied Electronics had already installed a 4-high by 10-wide MicroTiles array in Global Television’s Toronto studio for its morning news show. Familiar with the Toronto installation, Julie Shaw, vice president, facilities, design and management at Shaw Communications, suggested MicroTiles as an option.
 
“Julie set the tone by raving about what an ‘awesome product’ the MicroTiles were,” said Stephen Monteith, AV design and sales representative at Applied Electronics. “After that, it was an easy decision for the visionaries at Shaw. They immediately realized how the MicroTiles could be used in unique ways within the stores to capture the audiences’ attention.”
 
Falling for a Unique Waterfall Effect

Having decided on Christie MicroTiles, Ferguson and his team needed to decide where to put them and what content to show while creating a distinctive visual experience that would take advantage of Christie’s technology.
 
Rather than have all 24 MicroTiles depicting one piece of content simultaneously, Ferguson opted for a waterfall effect with the tiles slightly staggered with gaps along the X Y and Z access in a special bracket designed by RP Visuals. Content including media, innovative new products and services, in market offers and community initiatives are shown as individual thumbnails on the MicroTiles, allowing each piece of content to cascade across the whole screen, before pulsing back into one thumbnail. Hanging from the ceiling in each store, the waterfall configurations catch the attention of those who enter the store – and those passing by.
 
“We wanted to give our video people a cool ‘sandbox’ to play in that provided content versatility and didn’t limit their imagination,” said Ferguson. “And Christie MicroTiles did just that with the content provided by Breakhouse. Our customers love it and their eyes are drawn to it because it is so different from what they are used to seeing. There is an old adage in retail that customers don’t look up – but in this case they do because the MicroTiles display is different, flashy, and it has content that draws their eye to it.”
 
“The popularity of Christie MicroTiles continues to grow worldwide and here in Canada, with almost boundless application possibilities and configurations limited only by the imagination,” said Dave Muscat, Christie’s senior director of sales, Canada. “We are glad MicroTiles entice Shaw’s clients to look up when they are in the store since this also increases the value of Shaw’s upper shelf space and revenue possibilities. Christie MicroTiles offer customers a visual solution that enhances the creator’s vision, and we’re thrilled Shaw feels the same way.”

Keywest Technology’s MediaZone Pro is playing a central role in deployment of an innovative sports bar-centric digital signage ad network being rolled out by Solara360.

LENEXA, Kan. – Keywest Technology today announces that Solara360, developer of a sports bar-based digital signage ad network, has assisted its 12th franchisee in completing installation of ad network technology, which relies upon Keywest’s MediaZone Pro for advertising playout.

Solara360, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, is building its ad network across North America with turnkey digital signage packages, including displays, media players and signal distribution technology, that are easy to install and require minimal on-premise interaction.

Each sports bar is equipped with up to 10 proprietary Solara360 HDTV displays, a Keywest Technology MediaZone Pro digital signage player and signal distribution to transport ads from local business and HD sports coverage from satellite or cable sources to each monitor.

“We are excited to be an integral part of the rollout of this innovative digital signage ad network,” said Keywest Technology president Nick Nichols. “Our MediaZone Pro offers Solara360 an easy-to-install, reliable media player that is fast and simple to update with new content and playlists over the Internet.”

Solara360 is deploying its digital signage ad network based upon a franchise model. Franchisees buy a geographical territory with 10 sports bars and turnkey ad network technology packages to equip each bar with Solara360 proprietary HDTV displays and Keywest Technology MediaZone Pro player to support playback of local ad content in an “L” shaped onscreen graphic without the need to scale or process cable TV or satellite TV delivered HD sports action.

The Keywest Technology MediaZone Pro at each sports bar receives advertising playlists and ad content from Solara360 via the Internet and playbacks advertising content in the “L” shaped on-screen border. The HDTV content is presented within the “L” shape via the HDMI port directly from the source so that HD Sport action is displayed in real-time HD simultaneously with Internet fed ad content via the DVI Port.

MediaZone Pro is a complete digital signage system consisting of the media player and software needed to build compelling media playlists with text, graphics, video and animation and play them back as scheduled.

Gil Matzliah, CEO of NoviSign Digital Signage, presents businesses and institutions of all sizes and industries with a simple way to send and display information on screens to directly engage their customers. In the past, only larger companies could implement advanced and dynamic digital signage systems. With Matzliah’s digital signage solution, however, you can do away with high installation fees, maintenance and IT costs, and even tech support.

Using NoviSign’s technology, an Android-based device (Android box or stick) operates in lieu of a media player, which can cost anywhere between $300-$900. The Android player, in contrast, can be found for under $80. With WIFI support on the site where the screen is located, the Android box receives the NoviSign software link to transport the playlist you create on the NoviSign website, broadcasting it to your screen. With your information in the cloud, transferring information to screens anywhere in the world, from anywhere in the world, has never been so quick, easy, and inexpensive.

“We are seeing more and more small businesses remotely manage their digital signage. Moreover, combining this with the use of the newly introduced Android Players, the dropping prices of display, and Novisign’s easy-to-use signage software enables small businesses to set up 1-5 screens in the most cost effective way. I believe we will see this trend gaining real momentum in the coming year or so. “

Today, Novisign is happy to support hundreds of screens around the world in educational institutions, small businesses, retail stores, restaurants, and corporations. NoviSign is a global company with an R&D center in Israel. They aim to serve any business that has existing hardware platforms, such as Windows-based PC and Android-based devices.
