MediaSignage Adds Even More Social Components to its Open Digital Signage Platform

Westlake Village, CA (PRWEB)
July 14, 2015

MediaSignage, Inc. (http://www.digitalsignage.com/), provider of digital signage hardware and software solutions announces the release of 10 new smart, social components to its digital signage software platform. The latest release includes smart application and integration tools for Dropbox, Tumblr, 500px, Etsy, Mashape, Yelp, Pinterest, Good Drive v2, Flickr and Twitter v2. The latest releases allow digital sign network operators more control and options over the types of content their users can view and interact with on-screen. The new components also provide more relevant targeting and interactivity for end-users, allowing business owners to be more selective in honing in on the types of content most relevant to their company’s demographic.

What follows is a description of each of the latest smart components, newly integrated into the company’s flagship platform, the SignageStudio:

Pinterest – Users can browse and pin their favorite content from the web. And now they can integrate their entire Pinterest content right onto their digital signage presentation. It’s easy to setup and will keep audiences engaged in quality content.

Tumblr – It lets users effortlessly share anything. Post text, photos, quotes, links, music, and videos from a browser, phone, desktop, and email. Users can customize everything, from colors to a theme’s HTML. And best of all, content can be also be pushed right into a signage presentation.

Flickr – Upload photos and share them on public displays. Popular photo-sharing site Flickr is a also a photo hosting service with advanced and powerful features. It supports an active and engaged community where people share and explore each other’s photos.

Dropbox – Dropbox integration was one of the most requested features and it’s finally here. Dropbox is a home for all photos, docs, videos, and files. Anything a user can add to Dropbox will automatically show up on all their computers and of course, also inside their digital signage presentation.

500px – It is a photo community for discovering, sharing, buying and selling inspiring photography powered by creative people worldwide. And with our component, users can load their favorite 500px images directly into their presentation.

Etsy – Its a peer-to-peer e-commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items and supplies, as well as unique factory-manufactured items. Now users can have their favorite store as part of their digital presentation.

Yelp – People use Yelp to search for everything from the city’s tastiest burger to the most renowned cardiologist. With the Yelp component users can display their favorite Yelp business information and even show live updates on the latest Yelp review, Yelp score and even star posts.

Mashape – It’s a great way to get relevant live data such as current Bitcoin rates, currency exchange rates or even cool movie quotes straight to a digital signage screen.

Google Drive v2 – In version 2 of Google Drive we added support for folders. So users can now pick any specific folder and drill down to deep content. We also completely refactored the caching system for offline playback, so it works flawlessly.

Twitter v3 – In version 2 we added support for Twitter images, additional fields and also completely refactored the caching system for offline playback, so it works flawlessly.

“We’re extremely excited about what the new components mean for both network operators and end-users,” says Nate Nead, company president. “We’re at a growth inflection point as a company and as an industry. We’re just providing the tools that allow our customers to succeed mightily.”

MediaSignage screens are currently installed in bus stations, restaurants, movie theaters, retail establishments, schools, government facilities and corporate offices. Due to the differences in viewer preferences between the varied types of locations, screen managers regularly need to vary the types of content their displaying to match the demographic preferences of specific viewer audiences. Now with dozens of smart components, the MediaSignage flagship product, the SignageStudio is ready to provide more tools for better customer engagement than ever before.

Gathering of the Vibes Music Festival Adds: Blues Traveler, Steve Kimock with Bernie Worrell, Jason Crosby Band, Twiddle and von Grey

Bridgeport, Conn. (PRWEB) April 30, 2013

With an already stellar line up announced, the 18th Annual Gathering of The Vibes Festival -July 25-28, 2013- is thrilled to welcome Blues Traveler, guitar impresario Steve Kimock & funky keyboard godfather Bernie Worrell, Jason Crosby Band, von Grey, Twiddle, and local festival favorites The Kind Buds, to its already impressive four-day lineup. They join the current roster of Jam Festival Favorites: Phil Lesh & Friends, The Black Crowes, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, The Roots, Funky Meters, John Butler Trio, Galactic, Fishbone, Deep Banana Blackout, John Scofield Uberjam, Ryan Montbleau Band, Max Creek, Lord Huron, Tribal Seeds, Lukas Nelson & The P.O.T.R, Kung Fu & Dojo Allstars; and Late Night DJ Sets by Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation, and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem.

Festival organizers pointed to June 10th as the date for the next line-up reveal, and confirmed another HUGE artist addition and special guests announcements that will not disappoint.

The daily schedule is now available! This means fans can purchase Friday, Saturday, or Sunday Single Day Passes (VIP for Single Day is also available), or the Weekend Camping Passes (that allow concert goers to enter the venue on Thursday morning enjoy music throughout the weekend – including Late Night Sets). Over 40 bands will perform on multiple stages located throughout the 370-acre beachfront venue.

“While the roots of Gathering of The Vibes remain deep in the ground with acts like Phil Lesh & Friends and The Black Crowes, the mainstream exposure of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) in popular culture is revealing a convergence of jam and rock bands with electronic music,” notes festival founder Ken Hays. “The addition of the Late Night DJ Sets by Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation, and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem this year, keeps Gathering of the Vibes a festival with something for every generation. Over the last several years, we’ve witnessed the rise of EDM largely due to promotion by underground fans; this same phenomenon drove the music of the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers Band, and others in the emerging jam band scene of the 1960s.”

Gathering of the Vibes continues its 18-year tradition of embracing new, undiscovered artists, by letting its 175,000+ Facebook fans select one up-and-coming band to perform in front of 20,000+ music enthusiasts. Fans are encouraged to vote by June 1st via the Road to the Vibes Contest App on the Vibes Facebook. The winner will be announced in early June.

Single day and Weekend VIP ticket holders enjoy added perks: expedited entry and rock-star parking with easy in/out access, shaded camping areas along with catered meals, snacks and beverages, air conditioned bathroom trailers, and hot showers. Located stage left on the concert field, the massive VIP hospitality tent and viewing platforms offer exceptional stage sightlines and the opportunity to mix and mingle with artists. Single Day, Weekend, and VIP tickets are on sale now at: http://www.GOVIBES.com.

Discounted hotel accommodations at Vibes preferred hotels are available here.

Seaside Park is easily accessible by public transportation and just 50 miles from Manhattan. Fans traveling from NYC can take Metro North or the Port Jefferson Ferry. Shuttle bus service will transport festival attendees to and from the venue, local area hotels, the ferry, train and bus stations.

Merritt Graphics Adds Revolutionary New Dye-sublimation Printer to Its Line-up

East Hartford, CT (PRWEB) September 10, 2014

Digital textile printing is a growing opportunity for wide-format applications. It is quickly transforming the world of display graphics in the exhibit, POP, and retail market segments and continues to revolutionize the print industry. Fabrics are lightweight, environmentally friendly, easily transported, and the applications are virtually endless. These characteristics contribute to fabric graphics placing second in The Wide Format Imaging “2014 Top 40 Shops Top 10 Growth” segments.

Merritt Graphics of East Hartford, CT waited for the right opportunity to break into the digital textile printing industry. “We wanted to bide our time and watch the market,” said Ed Perry, President and CEO. “Another consideration was waiting to find the machine that felt like a perfect fit for our purposes.” Merritt Graphics recently decided that the time was right and just finished installing a new PrinterEvolution Eos126 DS dye-sublimation printer.

The PrinterEvolution Eos126 DS dye-sublimation printer is the first printer of its kind in the United States. It revolutionizes dye-sublimation printing into a one-step process with true on-board sublimation. The Eos126 DS can achieve 24-hour-per-day production demands with high speeds, beautiful color, and industrial reliability.

Merritt required a printer that would not only exceed their clients’ demands for quality and quantity but also sustainability. The Eos126 DS is environmentally friendly. It uses water-based inks and passes all Oeko-tex® Standard 100 certifications, functioning with a very small footprint and low electrical requirements. This is especially cost effective compared to systems utilizing a separate sublimation calender, which requires a larger footprint and hood extraction built into the roofing system. Additionally, the Eos126 DS print heads are true grayscale versadrop, meaning 30-50% less ink is used compared to printers using binary drop print heads.

To add to its fabric-finishing services, Merritt Graphics also purchased an Impulsa Sewing System. This specialty industrial sewing machine has a 3-meter (10′) long automated conveyor table that moves the material along the bed in synchronization with the Auto Keder (or Silicon Edge Graphics [SEG]) attachment. It has a patented ATAS system that provides stress-free feeding of the SEG and automated cutting of the SEG to avoid tension or stretch on the fabrics while the SEG is being sewn in.

According to a 2014 report by InfoTrends, 81.3% of the wide-format printers surveyed have seen significant growth in textiles as a percentage of their business. Perry submits, “Clients are looking for fabric prints, not only for tablecloths and tradeshow exhibits, but to replace indoor backlit films or rigid signage. We have seen an increase in the need for quick change fabric signs, and the SEG backing provides for a simple installation by anyone.”

About Merritt Graphics:

Merritt Graphics Big Color of East Hartford, CT is the grand-format printing division of Joseph Merritt Company, headquartered in nearby Hartford, CT. The company currently serves national markets including: Out of Home and Transit, POP, Indoor & Retail graphics, Vehicle graphics, Event Exhibit & Venue graphics, Environmental graphics, and Custom Sign fabrication. Merritt Graphics uses advanced printing technologies and sources quality substrates to consistently deliver high-end results. Merritt is certified by 3M to offer the 3M™ MCS™ Warranty for delivering finished graphics that meet 3M’s exacting requirements. This certification is not required by 3M, but demonstrates Merritt’s commitment to excellence.

Sharp

Camas, WA (PRWEB) June 05, 2012

Today, Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas (SMA) announced 13 additions to its LED-backlit line of Industrial Strength TFT LCD modules, as well as its completed transition to an all-LED backlit line-up. The new panels range in size from 3.7-inch to 19.0-inch diagonal, filling in a number of popular diagonal size classes with more options and features. For details on all Sharp LED-backlit LCDs, visit http://www.sharpledlcd.com.

Many of the new LCDs will be on show at Display Week 2012. Additionally, the company will introduce its new 60”/70”/80” Class e-Signage Module Family, show its new SSLR (Sharp Super Low Reflection) film technology, and debut one of its first mass production displays using IGZO technology. Display Week takes place June 5 – 8 in Boston, MA.

Industrial Strength LED-Backlit LCDs

Earlier this year, Sharp completed its migration from CCFL-based products to an all-LED backlight line-up. A consistent footprint in each Class size simplifies replacement, and built-in LED drivers for many models eliminate design issues.

A dedicated team of regionally-based technical support, sales, and marketing experts are available to work closely with customers as they make the switch to LED-backlit LCDs. Our Resources page at http://www.SharpLEDLCD.com also features instructional videos, “The Switch” podcast, technical papers, and other assets to aid the process. New Sharp IA panels are backed by long product life cycles and supported with extensive documentation, including Specifications, Incoming Inspection Reports, Reliability Data, and a UL Parts List.

New LED-backlit LCD Class Sizes Include:

3.7-inch (QVGA) LS037V7DW05    

3.7-inch (QVGA) LS037V7DW06    

4.3-inch (WVGA/ASV) LQ043Y1DX07

4.3-inch (WQVGA/Touch Screen) LQ043T1DG28    

6.4-inch (VGA) LQ064V3DG06

8.4-inch (VGA) LQ084V1DG43

10.1-inch (WXGA/LVDS) LQ101K1LY04    

10.4-inch (SVGA/LVDS) LQ104S1LG81

*Mass Production QA 2012

Sharp’s displays are perfectly suited to meet the rugged demands of the Industrial Application (IA) market. They are ideal for applications including Automotive, Factory Automation, In-Flight Entertainment, Gaming, Medical Devices, Point of Sale (POS) Terminals, Transportation, Test and Measurement, and many others. The panels are also ideal for companies that provide value-add technology, such as projected capacitive touch overlays.

New Sharp LCD Technology

In March 2012, Sharp began production of new displays featuring IGZO semiconductor technology, which allows lower energy consumption through use of smaller thin-film transistors and increased pixel transparency. Sharp’s proprietary UV2A technology (employed in Sharp’s AQUOS® LCD TVs) enables the displays to achieve exceptional image quality. Now, the company introduces its new QFHD 31.5-inch (diagonal) IGZO display (LQ315D1LG91), one of the first IGZO-based displays in the industry. Made available for mass production.

The company has also introduced Sharp Super Low Reflection Technology (SSLR) into mass production. Super Low Reflection film incorporates NANO technology to drastically reduce reflection on an LCD screen, which, in turn, significantly improves a display’s contrast ratio.

Sharp is also announcing a new line of TFT LCD modules optimized for e-Signage (electronic signage) applications. The portfolio includes a family of 60-inch, 70-inch, and 80-inch Class LCDs, plus specialty modules for outdoor, direct sunlight applications, applications that require especially high resolutions, and video wall displays. The modules mark the first opportunity for e-Signage designers to benefit from the proven durability and performance of Sharp LCD Modules.

Availability and Pricing

Product samples and pricing may be obtained through any Sharp Representative or Distributor. Sharp displays are RoHS* compliant, upholding the company’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing. One-piece sample pricing for the following, select Sharp products is as follows:

Cilutions Adds World-Class Digital Signage Capability to Enterprise Video IP Streaming

Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 02, 2014

Cilutions has added Exterity world-class video IP streaming to its range of ultra-reliable but affordable digital signage solutions.

Exterity AvediaPlayer Receivers are now fully integrated with Cilutions Digital Media Bridge (DMB) software suite; letting organizations that already use Exterity for IP streaming seamlessly add powerful new digital signage capabilities. Unlike most digital signage offerings, the combined Cilutions and Exterity products offer end-to-end fully encrypted video playback.

Using Cilutions DMB, HD video content can be played on any digital signage screen connected to an Exterity Receiver. By adding Cilutions DMB Screen Builder software to their desktops, digital signage network administrators can use advanced content creation, scheduling and targeting features to manage groups of screens based on audience profiles or locations, or control content scheduling down to individual displays.

In addition to integrating seamlessly within an Exterity IPTV system, Exterity provisioned end-points can be combined with Cilutions software to offer a stand-alone digital signage set-top box that can also be used across networks where video streaming is not required.

SINGLE, FLEXIBLE SOLUTION

This blended solution means high quality video can be decoded, transcoded and distributed over local area networks, enabling everything from scheduled digital signage programming to rich Video on Demand (VoD) interactive screens.

“This creates a very flexible platform that can be implemented easily by organizations, without adding any new hardware,” explained William Stanton, Director of Business Development for Cilutions.

“Offering a single solution for video and signage is much more efficient and cost-effective, and means that our customers only have to learn one system,” added Colin Farquhar, Exterity CEO. “Talking to our end users, systems integrators and partners, we know that video is an integral part of digital signage in addition to data and graphics, so it made sense to have a single integrated solution.”

FLAWLESS OPERATION

Based in the Washington, DC area, Cilutions builds its digital signage solution around ultra-reliable, solid-state media playback devices that have been designed to operate flawlessly for years.

“No moving parts, great engineering inside and tough enclosures mean our customers can put these units out in harsh environments, like fast food outlets and busy retail spaces, without worrying about their ability to handle all the dust and grime that will quickly choke regular PCs,” explained Stanton.

In addition to their management and content distribution software platforms, Cilutions has two core elements to its Digital Media Bridge software suite:

    DMB Media Player – digital signage, video-on-demand and digital menu board software player
    DMB Screen Builder – digital signage, video-on-demand and digital menu board screen authoring application

“Digital signage is a very competitive business, and we strongly believe blending a world-class IP streaming solution with DMB sets Cilutions apart from the pack,” concluded Stanton.

ABOUT CILUTIONS

Cilutions is a software products and services provider for digital signage networks. We strive to provide low cost, easy to use software solutions for the successful implementation and management of digital signage networks. Whether you plan to install your digital signage network on top of a private satellite data network with dedicated set-top boxes or simply over the internet, we have the software to make your digital signage network a success.
