Digital View Launches “Digital Signage in a Box”

  • PDF

Digital View releases an easy-install digital signage kit, with a pre-configured media control server and a number of networkable, low cost ViewStream HD digital media players.

Designed to operate within an office, retail or public environment, for a ready-made digital signage network, all the user need do is plug the server and media players into their existing local area network. The media server runs Digital View’s free DV-SYNC software, which is scalable and can be configured to run as many ViewStream media players as required, with no additional license costs or monthly fees.

The DV-SYNC application controls the distribution of digital signage media content across the network. It uses FTP technology to deliver media scheduling and to collect content play-out and compliance information.

The Digital Signage in a Box solution is offered with two compact ViewStream media player options-- both of which provide professional digital content presentation with crystal-clear media playback, Linux reliability and 3 year warranty.

The ViewStream VS-520 is a full HD 1080p, gapless track-to-track playback and a range of outputs to drive any LCD display, projector or video wall. ViewStream VS-320 is a compact, low cost player that offers 720p HD playback.

The Digital Signage in a Box package includes a Content Management Server pre-loaded with DV-SYNC, a user-defined quantity of ViewStream media players and a copy of the DV-Studio playlist list creation tool.

SpinetiX and Scala Can Integrate

  • PDF

Shown to partners at Scala's EMEA Connected Signage Conference in Netherlands, Scala's Content Manager 5 software platform can now deliver content to the dedicated open-platform SpinetiX HMP100 hardware.

The HMP100 uses the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) family of open-standard specifications that allows XML-based file formats to describe static, dynamic and animated information.

Spinetix
Serge Konter, Marketing Manager, SpinetiX, comments: "Our Hyper Media Player technology turns any digital display into an autonomous and networked device. The very small footprint and the minimal energy consumption of our HMP100 have very low installation and operational costs. Until now, many Scala users were obliged to use PC-based players to display dynamic content and were not able to deploy the HMP100 in their systems. We are delighted that our new integration with Scala technology is now being made available."

Gerard Bucas, CEO, Scala, adds: "The use of hardware appliances such as the SpinetiX HMP100 has a number of advantages for our customers. Compared to PC-based player solutions they offer lower running costs, and with no fan or other moving parts, reliability in the field can expected to be much higher. We're excited to be able to offer our customers more flexibility when specifying their systems, and look forward to a long and fruitful working relationship with SpinetiX."

The integration (Scala's software platforms and SpinetiX hardware) will make its international debut at InfoComm.
