Standalone Digital Signage Or Networked Digital Signage

Digital signage hardware comes in many guesses from indoor and the much more expensive outdoor digital signage, there are even more differenced the location.

Standalone digital signage.

This can be an indoor digital poster or an outdoor LCD enclosure that is equipped with a standalone media player. These range of products have many advantages, firstly the cost is very attractive and secondly they are easy to configure with little if any technical knowledge required.

Working from a media player that has the adverts loaded on to a memory card and it locked into the player allows for fast and affordable signage solutions, to update the content you can either add fresh content to a new memory card and then swap them for the old memory card or the content can be added to a flash drive that is then plugged into the media players USB port and the copy the content to the memory card already in the player.

Networkable digital poster.

As the name suggests this hardware is more expensive as it has built in extra technology such as the ability to connect to either a wired or wireless network making updating content simply and fast. These are ideal for multiple locations in a mall for instance as the labour time to update the content would cost more than the added network technology.

Just like network cabling an office, all you need is an outlet near the location of the digital sign and then just plug the hardware into the network and then from the central network office you should be able to see the IP addresses of the new signs and from here you can add the content.

Now updating contnet can be as easy and simple as FTP’ing a page to a website, using these new wireless LCD advertising displays, these are more convenient than the USB units and only cost around 15% for the convenience of remote updating content as well as being able to schedule the ads to run and update at set times throughout the digital signage network. Every business person can see the advantage of digital signage and how it can be used, now can you see how it could help you?

Graham is a technical author on the topic of digital signage as well as owning one of the world’s leading manufacturers of LCD enclosures, this range of LCD enclosure are used throughout the world.

Revolutionary Message Boards Ideal for Displays and Presentations

You may not have seen message boards which do not require pins, clips, or magnets to stick on. The board simply sticks as it draws paper or plastic. This revolutionary board is of tremendous use in schools and offices where boards are used for displaying notices and memos.

Technology behind Message Boards

The technology behind the message boards is simple. It is an alternative to the conventional methods of adhesion. It has a very unique adhesion surface. Electrical energy passes through the surface of the board creating sufficient Coulomb forces. This causes it to attract light and flat articles. The surface of the board is smooth, not sticky and polymer-based. The board is made such that it can hold light objects including business cards, credit cards, CDs or DVDs and plastic or even thin cardboard.

You only have to use a battery in the slot of the presentation board and it draws objects when brought close to it. All items are held securely and can simply be pulled off without any effort. You can position your clippings or memos wherever you want on the board. It will not get damaged even if it is used several times as long as the battery has power. A light signal will alert you to change the battery.

Types of Message Boards and its Uses

The presentation board can be used anywhere such as at events, for a trade show, in the office and even in schools and colleges. Although its usefulness is best seen as display boards, there are unlimited areas where they can be used. There are small boards for offices and desktop units for your own personal use.

There are panelled boards which are ideal for a trade show display. They are very light and easy to set up. There are others with a display stand which can be used in hotels and restaurants. You can get white or black colored boards.

Benefits of Using the Message Boards

The electro-adhesive boards are very easy to use especially for an event. The trade show display boards can be used to change your pictures, posters, brochures or the inventory list. You can change them in seconds as visitors approach your stall. Since there is no need for pins, clips or glue, you can save a lot of time. They are ideal for training sessions and presentations in your office as you can write on them.

If you are planning an exhibition in your school or college, you can use the Science fair boards which will prove to be extremely useful to explain the diagrams to the visitors, at the same time add on new clippings.

Whitlock Announces the Acquisition of Certain Business Operations of Xerox Audio Visual Solutions (XAV)

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) July 14, 2014

Whitlock is pleased to announce the acquisition of certain business operations of Xerox Audio Visual Solutions (XAV) from Global Imaging Systems (GIS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Xerox.

While XAV had built a strong audiovisual business with increased emphasis on enterprise and government customers, after strategic review, GIS decided that XAV did not align with the rest of its extensive business services portfolio.

“Whitlock has a strong commitment to culture and a long history of organic growth, but this opportunity with XAV matched perfectly with our core business principles and values,” states Doug Hall, Whitlock’s CEO.

In deciding to transition out of the business, GIS sought a company that could ensure its audiovisual customers would continue to enjoy excellent service and its employees could continue to develop and grow their careers. Whitlock is able to offer great benefits to both, including a proven track record, financial stability and an expanded footprint for improved service and support nationally and globally.

A number of XAV operational employees will become Whitlock employees, with customer relationships and existing contracts being assigned to Whitlock. XAV business operations in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania will further strengthen Whitlock’s national service delivery to enterprise customers.

“Whitlock’s mission is to retain, acquire and develop mutually rewarding customer partnerships and the most respected workforce in the industry,” Doug explains. “The XAV addition has provided an opportunity for Whitlock to acquire some exceptional employee talent and customer relationships which are complementary to our existing business.”

“The more we met with XAV leadership, mutual respect grew into excitement about our common cultures and strategic direction,” adds Roger Patrick, Whitlock’s COO. “We were more aligned than we could have imagined, and the merging of our teams will allow Whitlock to quickly scale in key markets and offer the talented XAV workforce a place to develop their career paths, contribute to best practices and continue to deliver outstanding customer experiences.”

As of today, Whitlock has 20 U.S. locations and more than 700 employees.

The holiday season means an increase in trash; the more you shop, the more you throw away. This holiday Miller Recycling would like to share a few simple recycling tips.

Christmas:


Consider gifts that keep on giving as a battery charger, a perpetual calendar or an erasable message board. Gift certificates for movies, theaters or restaurant are also “waste-free” gifts.
Use reusable shopping bags and minimize the amount of petroleum used to make plastic bags. If you do get plastic bags you can always bring them to your local grocery store. (contact them first)
Create a family legacy by buying durable toys made from wood or metal. Metal and wooden gifts can be passed from generation to generation, becoming family heirlooms. The Antique roadshow is proof of that!
Considering gifting electronics, remember to properly recycle your old ones. Contact your local recycling center to see what they take in.
Give two gifts in one by using baskets, fabric bags, scarves or pillowcases to wrap gifts. Sunday comics make colorful gift wrap for children’s packages and adults too.

New Years:

Start the New Year off with a bang by making waste reduction your number one New Year’s resolution. Waste reduction and recycling is not just for the holidays. It’s easier than working out; you can make that your #2.
Score big when watching the Super Bowl by eliminating disposable plates and cups from your “tail-gate” party. Use cloth napkins to add fun to your meals as you cheer for your favorite team.

Timely Referrals to Pain Management Specialists Could Reduce Unnecessary Back Fusion Surgeries Says Pain Management Specialist Reza Ghorbani, MD, ABIPP, FIPP

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) December 27, 2013

While new federal data questions increases in costly back fusion surgery, early referrals to board certified pain management specialists could eliminate many operations saving trauma and money.

A Washington Post investigation found some experts fear “as many as half “ the procedures weren’t justified.

“Generally surgeons aren’t pain management specialists and as a result may recommend operations that aren’t necessary. Since we take a multidisciplinary approach, we can often find a solution that doesn’t require an operation,” says Reza Ghorbani, MD, ABIPP, FIPP, Ghorbani, MD, ABIPP,FIPP.

Dr. Ghorbani is president and medical director of the Advanced Pain Medicine Institute of Greater Washington, DC. He is also the author of the new book, “Secrets to a Pain Free Life” which stresses the importance of mainstream medical treatments combined with natural, alternative remedies shown to be safe and effective over time.

In his pain management practice, Dr. Ghorbani sees many failed back fusion patients who wind up in even worse pain.    

“I wish they’d come to me first, but often a primary care physician will refer his patient directly to a surgeon without giving a pain management specialist a chance to make a difference. That’s an aspect of medical culture that needs to change,” says Ghorbani.

When physical therapy or drugs don’t work, doctors can fuse two or more bones in the spine to prevent painful movement. However, the procedure may ultimately weaken the area around the injury leading to further complications.

This problem even has a name, “Failed Back Surgery Syndrome.” However, it can be treated with an implantable device called a spinal cord stimulator—similar to a cardiac pacemaker. It sends an electronic message to the brain through the spine that eases pain.

“Many of my patients are asking for this device as a result of other treatment failures,” says Ghorbani.

An aging population of Baby Boomers hoping to stay active and better surgical techniques may be trends underlying the bone fusion boom, but skeptics say the real rationale is compensation, not compassion. In the current “fee-for-service” environment, the more procedures a doctor does, the more he gets paid.

From 1993 to 2011 the number of US spine fusion procedures increased from 60,973 to 465,070 and the commensurate cost ballooned from $ 24,045 to $ 100,785, according to an analysis from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

Appropriate or not, these operations have proven increasingly lucrative for doctors with financial interests in companies that sell plates, screws and rods–devices that can add up to $ 11,000 or more per procedure.

However, Dr. Ghorbani says the fix isn’t just on the doctor’s side. As more patients gain coverage under the Affordable Care Act, they will need to be more proactive about their own health so the system won’t be overburdened.

“We can’t be all things to all people, particularly with younger patients coming into the system and older patients needing more care. If people would just follow common sense lifestyle guidelines, it’s possible to keep pain in check. That’s one of the secrets to a pain free life,” says Dr. Ghorbani.
