4 Things That Must Accompany Your Digital Displays

 These elements are not part of the machine itself but could be treated as points that can make the deal worthwhile in the long run. So, here are the 4 things that must come with your digital displays purchase.

Warranty

Everyone makes tall claims about the sturdiness of their offering. Displays market is no different in this regard. Great value is added to the product when manufacturer attaches a warranty with the product. Sadly, not everyone does it. It pays to buy a product that comes with a warranty. Longer the period of the warranty, the better it is. However, make sure it doesn’t come at an additional charge. There are plenty of established firms that offer nearly 5-year warranty. So, make sure it comes along with your display purchase.

Flawless technical support   

 Businesses that are new with technological advanced communications and identity solutions often feel the need of technical assistance from time to time. At such occasions, if response time is too high, then, business can suffer. Flawless technical support guarantees that help is there when business needs it. In addition to that, if the support staff is amiable and resolves issues quickly, machine interruptions are minimized. So, performance of your indoor or led billboard is not affected.

Reputation for rendering quality
 
Digital displays are not inexpensive items; they usually come with a hefty price tag. Hence, it is important to choose quality over anything else. Studying company’s reputation in the market helps business owners in buying from the most suitable supplier. Both extensive product portfolio and rich industry experience are the signs that the argued supplier has survived the industry changes. Trust and loyalty are hard to build, and a firm that promises them can always be trusted with digital machines.  

On-time delivery and competitive pricing

Evolving digital displays as per client’s needs and requirements takes time but this cannot be taken as an excuse for late delivery of products. On-time delivery is sign of professionalism. Even if the automated display maker is taking care of everything starting from image design to product engineering, project management, manufacturing, and installation, on-time delivery cannot be compromised.
 In the same way, competitive pricing is also something that shouldn’t be negotiated for superior quality. There are ample firms that supply indoor outdoor led advertising displays at highly competitive prices all over the world. Some renowned firms also offer financing options to help small and medium businesses gain access to the power of digital advertising.   

So, make sure that your digital display arrives with above mentioned points.

Zixi Teams with Elemental Technologies, RED Digital Cinema and BrightSign at NAB to Showcase Over-the-Top 4K Broadcasting

Waltham, MA (PRWEB) April 07, 2015

Zixi, the industry leader of live broadcast-quality video delivery over public and private IP networks to any device, anywhere, at any time, today announced at the NAB Show (April 11-16 at the Las Vegas Convention Center) its collaboration with broadcast industry leaders to deliver proof-of-concept for Over-the-Top (OTT) distribution of live events broadcast in 4K. Elemental Technologies (booth SU2724), RED Digital Cinema (booth SL1517) and BrightSign, LLC®, the global market leader in digital signage players, partnered with Zixi (booth SU10802) to enable end-to-end 4K distribution over IP to deliver 4K content from any live venue to virtually any destination. OTT is utilized by a growing number of low-cost service providers to deliver video content directly to viewers, creating the direct relationship with viewers that’s becoming commonplace as on-demand viewing continues to displace traditional broadcast distribution.

The solution demonstrated at the NAB Show highlights the power of OTT – including acquisition, transcode, distribution over IP, decode and display of a 4K live stream. Source input is captured in 4K using an EPIC RED DRAGON and the RED 4K Broadcast Module, which then feeds an Elemental 1RU encoder capable of real-time 4Kp60 HEVC video processing. The resulting content is wrapped in the Zixi Transport Protocol by the Zixi Feeder running on the same Elemental system. Zixi then transports the content over a standard Internet connection, protecting the stream and managing packet loss and jitter, delivering the file to the Zixi Broadcaster. The stream is then distributed to multiple destinations, each equipped with a BrightSign 4K media player with the embedded Zixi Receiver that accepts the 4K content. BrightSign 4K then decodes and sends the content to a 4K display via HDMI 2.0 preserving native 4K resolution and 60 frames-per-second playback.

The workflow described above constitutes an end-to-end 4K distribution solution over IP capable of delivering live 4K content to multiple endpoints simultaneously. The security and reliability of such a solution offers a proven OTT distribution model to broadcasters and program providers, as well as commercial establishments such as bars, hotels, restaurants and other venues.

This end to end 4K offering will be featured in several booths at NAB. In particular, RED Digital Cinema will feature striking 4K footage from capture to endpoint, starting with the EPIC DRAGON camera and delivered via Zixi to BrightSign’s 4K players displaying the content on the booth’s 4K screens. Elemental will also feature BrightSign’s 4K players in its booth. Zixi will be featuring BrightSign’s 4K and HD players at the Zixi booth.

5 Things You Must Know About Digital Whiteboards

Most of the people define digital whiteboards as a board of white color having a glorified screen. However, this smart piece is definitely much more than that and includes some marvelous features that surely need to be mentioned here. The five incredible features of interactive whiteboards that enrich the classroom experience of both students as well as teachers are:

All the modern digital whiteboards have a Reveal tool feature also known as Screen Shade. This allows the presenter display only one part of the screen while hiding the non relevant parts. Imagine a classroom where the teacher makes the screen turn black and then slowly reveal the view to catch the fancy of the students. This helps the teachers in putting up the questions and then showing the answers later on one by one.

 

Spotlight is yet another option that plays a great role in any classroom. The feature never fails to make the jaws drop out of fascination and keeps the kids glued to the screen throughout the session. In this, teachers can make the screen turn black and then put on spotlight only over the area which is to be explained. The feature greatly helps while giving the demonstrations of maps where the presenter needs to explain about various regions one after another.

 

If you want to do something out of the box and make your kids wonder and ponder in disbelief, you can hide all the answers using the technique called layering. Though you can do this in many ways, the easiest one is to write or type the answers in white so that it doesn’t show to the viewers. These answers can then later be dragged to some other color to make them visible to the audience. By deploying a blend of shape and layering options you can experiment with various styles thus maintaining freshness in the classroom.

 

Those using student response systems in the classroom can take their e-learning experience to one another level by creating class quizzes on the interactive whiteboard. These quizzes can then be answered by the students by selecting the list of possible answers. The best part of using student response systems is that the teachers can easily get to know the aptitude and understanding of each student in the class. The method does wonders in guiding the teachers on how they have to conduct their further classroom sessions.

Industries that Deploy Digital Signage

Often, when looking to invest in a new product or service, it helps to discover what other types of businesses are using it and how it has worked for them. Digital signage is no different and whether you are looking for a simple display screen to promote in-house products or are looking to make a major investment in an outdoor digital signage network, it helps to discover how other people are using the technology.

Retail – The retail sector is perhaps the widest user of promotional display screens. Retailers find the technology has many benefits for them, especially regarding the flexibility of digital screens.

Promotional items can be changed, depending on demand, instantly with content uploaded in real-time. Digital signage content can also be scheduled or tailored for specific customers such as the lunchtime crowd.

Advertising – Being an advertising medium it is no surprise that advertisers have also been quick to take advantage of the digital signage boon. The great advantage for advertisers is that each screen can be used to display multiple advertisements so advertisers can maximize the revenue from a single advertising spot.

As content can be uploaded remotely, digital signage is very cost effective, not requiring technicians to replace content making even outdoor digital signage a cost effective alternative to traditional printed advertisements.

Transport – The transport industry was also very quick to get involved in digital signage. As the transport sector were already using screens as a form of information provision, the step to implementing them for more advertising and promotional aspects was a simple one.

For transport companies they have two great benefits. Firstly, commuters on a train, platform, bus or other public transportation network, are captive. Passengers in a waiting room have little choice but to view the content that is displayed in front of them. The other advantage for transport is the sheer size of an audience with many transport hubs being some of the busiest areas of our towns and cities.

Education – And educators have found digital signage and display screens a great way to communicate to large numbers of students, staff and teachers.

Either indoor screens or outdoor LCDs aid communication, a task normally found difficult in campuses, where the number of people the information has to be distributed around is very high. Digital screens allow important information to be uploaded centrally and all displays on a campus site can relay the content – ensuring the maximum number of people possible view the information.

Santander Bank installs multi-screen Video Wall Signage Solution

(PRWEB) April 09, 2015

Established in Chile since 1978, now with over 250 branches throughout the country, Bank of Santander is a leading financial institution, by virtue of its market share and its capital strength and profitability.

 

Constantly trying to position itself as a major player in the Chilean banking industry as a leading bank in Latin America, Bank of Santander strives to be recognized as a quality and efficient service provider to effectively meet the requirements of the shareholders, customers, employees and the society as a whole.

 

Given this situation, the need for a solution at its headquarters that allows flexible and dynamic monitoring of all the daily transactions occurring in all the branches of the country, is even more evident. Bank of Santander Chile identified the specific need to innovate and optimize its monitoring room by installing a Video Wall solution, for visualizing the Bank’s flow of activity in a holistic and comprehensive manner throughout the country.

 

Wavetec developed a customized video wall signage solution at Bank’s central monitoring room which comprised of a 16 professional high-definition displays ready to operate 24/7. The video wall is connected to a video processor that can connect up to 32 video inputs at once. Due to the installed Video Wall, it is possible for banks management to proactively monitor activities at various branches for appropriate decision-making and service optimization.

 

Moreover, it prioritizes and focuses on certain information depending on the day or month, interspersing the order and/or the grouping of the displays. The Video Wall can screen some of the following variables: payment and transfers status, payrolls, server status throughout Chile, ATMs, system errors, Redbank status, etc.

 

Santander is truly committed to innovation. Previously, the bank had an outdated and rigid monitoring system, which was a limiting factor for monitoring what was needed; thus, it was decided to step forward and install Wavetec’s Video Wall solution for a more focused, flexible and adjustable monitoring in order to meet the specific and emergent requests, prioritizing the priority of the moment.

 

Wavetec is a leading global company in the domain of LED Display Solutions for financial markets. This can be seen in the successful LED display installations and system integrations in over 23 stock exchanges such as Barcelona, Chile, Peru, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Dubai, Nigeria and Kenya, among others.

Allentown, PA (PRWEB) April 09, 2015

UMix Media today announced the official release of their app for Apple and Android. UMix Media serves retailers, restaurants, hotels and other businesses with web-based music and digital signage. The UMix Media system has always enabled an easy web upload of MP3’s for in store advertising announcements. The new app extends that capability to UMix customer’s Apple and Android devices, making the process even faster and easier.

A typical example involves a retail executive using the smartphone app to record a brief promotional message. The app then automatically loads the message directly to their subscriber account. They can schedule that message to play across their store’s audio systems for a predefined term and interval (e.g. – 9 AM to 9 PM every 30 minutes for one week). It’s the same easy process for a single store or a large chain.

“In-store audio advertising increases sales of those items, and the app makes it even easier and faster for our customers to capitalize on that opportunity,” said Franklin Tarantino, Managing Member of UMix Media.

UMix Media charges $ 19 monthly for their feature-rich business music service or digital signage, and an additional $ 5 monthly for the promotional messaging capability. There is no additional charge to use the UMix app.

Tarantino added, “UMix delivers value through customer control, speed, quality and reliability – at a terrific price, and the app fortifies that value.”

Digital Outside Signage ? Winter Challenges

Out-of-doors digital advertising is very widespread but just think has your recent deployment been thought out? Was it employed in the warmer months? If so there is a chance that the technology will have no winter defense built into the project.

When projects are born and planned for the urgent deployment, a common issue arises and this is one element is sometimes overlooked. This issue does not come to light until later when the advertising solutions has been installed for some time and customers start complaining that the LCD monitors are not operational; this is not through any physical attack, just through Mother Nature.

The main common challenge is when a project is being deployed to a tight deadline and the customer does not understanding the notion of a “lead time” expecting it on site tomorrow.  It only needs one component and the lack of this item could potentially cause a challenge because it has been disregarded or omitted because of the lead time.

One part that cannot be forgotten is an out-of-doors LCD enclosure, otherwise the monitor will fail in the first winter, and with the extra costs of the replacement display this will undoubtedly make this specific project loss-making.

Engineers have been known to disregard an outdoor dynamic marketing cabinet as too much, but the reason of these defending enclosures is to make sure the advertising hardware is in a micro climate, so no matter what the outside conditions are the hardware inside is kept in the most suitable and controlled order. This is done with a mix of air conditioning units, heaters and thermo management system permitting the engineer to set the accurate internal temperature so when the heat inside rises owing to the high external temperature the cooling unit is switched and the air inside is cooled down below the preset, the opposite happens in winter when the temperature drops fast over night, this rapid drop can affect the display dramatically if not sheltered, this is why heaters are deployed to outside LCD housings, as they work to lift the interior temperature to above the preset temperature protecting the machine from frost and sub zero temperatures.

The heaters also stop condensation building up inside the casing as this will cause the machine to sweat, this too can have negative effects on the inside hardware.

The author owns the leading manufacturer of LCD enclosure, these units are supplied throughout the world to integrators of outdoor digital signage. An LCD enclosure offers all the protection needed for outdoor use.
