D3, the company that creates more than half of all LED displays in New York City’s Times Square [see photo], now seems to have adopted the city of Manchester.

Dynamic Digital Displays Europe announces the delivery of their latest roadside billboard for Signature Outdoor as part of their CityVision regional display network.

CityVision Expressway, unveiled in May 2013, is a landscape 12m x 3m 10mm SMD LED display located above the Aston Expressway (A38M), the main arterial route into Birmingham City Centre.

This is the third display D3 have delivered for the CityVision network and largest to date; comprised of 333 individual 10mm SMD LED modules, it’s enormous size and high traffic location makes it unmissable to visitors of the City.

AOPEN launches the Digital Engine DE67-HAI. 

Its most powerful player yet, the DE67-HAI supports the latest Intel Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) 8.0 firmware and 3rd generation Intel Core processor family.

AOPEN’s most powerful small form factor device, this system offers a range of high end features:

• It supports 2nd generation and 3rd generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processor families
• Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) lets users query, restore, upgrade, and protect networked digital signage devices remotely. By enabling remote manageability from a central console and allowing users to avoid the expense of on-site technician visits, Intel AMT helps reduce the total cost of ownership.
• 1080p full HD video playback on multiple displays.
• Low noise and low power consumption means lower heat dissipation, less energy use (saves money and supports green computing)
• Two expansion slots, full size and half size, supporting mSATA.

Gabriëlle Offringa, Marketing Manager at AOPEN, says, “…. Its capability and compact form factor make it ideal for signage solutions within retail, finance, hospitality, large enterprises and other major vertical markets with ambitious signage needs. We see the need for video enrichment in advertising and messaging increasing, as marketing professionals become aware of the significant impact of video in their communication strategy."

YCD Multimedia’s MegaPixel embedded playback devices, based on Intel Core processors, play ultra-high resolution content to multiple displays.

The Intel-based devices are powered by the YCD Wall video wall solution that projects synchronized visual content on any number of screens. Intel Core processors integrate the graphics (GPU) right into the processor's package.

The MegaPixel Player Devices are very small in size and include two or three video ports, with each port producing higher resolution than full HD. Together the video ports produce ultra-high resolution and above, with no need to install additional video cards.

The combination of YCD's player and Intel hardware enables video playback that meets advanced video compression standards such as H.264, while enabling advanced management of ultra-high resolution content. Combining several devices in a synchronized manner creates an unlimited megapixel playback canvas.

“Our customers are looking for a complete solution, one that will grow their business and improve communication with consumers. The defining factor, with the emergence of in-store experience more than ever, is a well-planned, holistic, customer-specific strategy,” says Noam Levavi, CEO [shown in photo].
