Matrox Graphics Inc. brings three important features to Matrox Maevex 5100 Series H.264 encoders/decoders that will be demonstrated for the first time at ISE 2014.

Maevex encoders will soon support high quality H.264 video recording to a network-shared drive or NAS at resolutions up to Full HD 1080p60 with zero-latency pass-through of the video and audio signals, making it ideal for medical, transportation, military and surveillance applications.

Maevex decoders will soon provide a built-in fail-safe mode to ensure that pre-recorded digital signage content will automatically play on screen in the event of a lost network connection that interrupts streaming from a Maevex encoder. Clients can store the pre-recorded image or video clip in the decoder’s internal flash memory. When network connectivity is restored, the Maevex decoder reverts to the streaming content.

Extron Electronics announces support of 4K and Ultra HD – UHD video systems that solve emerging design challenges by offering solutions for high-performance signal processing and distribution products.

Solutions include extending 4K and UHD video over a single twisted pair cable, videowall processors to leverage the high pixel density of the newest generation of displays, streaming encoders and decoders to extend 4K video over traditional network infrastructure, media players for playback of 4K content, and fiber optic distribution systems when pixel-for-pixel signal extension and switching are required in mission critical environments.

"New displays and projectors that provide 4K and UHD resolutions are being introduced every day, and AV system designers and integrators are looking for methods to support these systems," says Casey Hall, VP Sales and Marketing for Extron. "Extron has a broad range of products that provide high-performance signal extension, routing, and distribution solutions for transporting 4K and UHD digital video today and in the future."

Ever seen a streamlined bus? Nope, I haven’t either. Generally, they are built like boxes on wheels and have less design appeal than semi trucks and 18-wheelers.

Hang a sign or advertisement on a bus and it looks like, well, a flat sign on a boxy bus. And it’s a static message on a moving object…

So what if you could turn buses into moving real-time digital signage?

Tad Orlowski has a concept, the Willie Bus, which does just that. OK, go ahead and laugh at the name. All over?
