Touch&Go Digital Lollipop55

At GlobalShop 2014, Micro Industries unveils, its unique Touch&Go Digital Lollipop 55, a dual-sided 55” interactive portrait touchscreen in a less than 2.4” (6cm) thick profile.

The ultra-thin profile encases “the first truly double-sided touchscreen of its kind”. This interactive digital signage is perfect for consumer use in department stores, malls, hotels, airports and other high-traffic areas.

The new design provides a sturdy, upscale and futuristic look— you can move it into place at the last minute because it’s mobile as well.

Each digital lollipop supports single or multi-touch touchscreens simultaneously, using independent processors that separately drive the operating system. To ensure minimal deflection of the screens when touched, the displays are encased in a metal frame securely fastened to the sturdy base suitable for high traffic areas.

BrightSign used NAB 2014 as the occasion to reveal its 4K players will support MPEG-DASH which enables high-quality streaming of media content over the Internet.

"4K opens up so many possibilities in digital signage and other industry applications, but it’s important to understand how to deploy these new 4K technologies properly," says Jeff Hastings, BrightSign’s CEO. “As BrightSign continues to expand into the 4K market, we are working with a wider range of partners and demonstrating new technology for supporting the 4K ecosystem at NAB.”

MPEG-DASH is critical when it comes to broadcasting 4K content via the Internet. The protocol takes content from standard HTTP servers and separates that content into individual segments, enabling network bandwidth optimization in real time for maximum streaming efficiency. Efficiencies are maximized because the highest possible bit rate segment will be streamed at any given time, depending on the network resources available at that time.

Asus Chromebox

At DSE 2014, Intel's Jose Avalos, director of digital signage, embedded and communications group, told an audience that—after the release of Google's newest Chromeboxes-- the search giant will be zeroing in on digital signage.

It’s no big surprise that the Chromeboxes could be very inexpensive digital signage media players and the Chrome platform could make the back-end cheaper as well.
