2. Remove a lid & press the up button (or an IF wireless remote)
   
3. Once the screen is up, adjust it to any position from vertical, as it is stored, too horizontal. Horizontal is great for tabletop games or as a demo tool.

The United Kingdom’s largest airport advertising company selects BroadSign software to power its digital signage network.

The largest airport advertising company in the United Kingdom, Eye Airports, has selected BroadSign International, LLC’s cloud-based digital signage software platform to power its network of screens across 28 airports in the UK. The initiative follows the merger announcement of Eye Corp UK and Airport Partners in December 2013.

The initial conversion of 200 Eye Airports screens to BroadSign software took place in 13 airports this March and will continue with further rollout. The network is present in major national hubs such as London Gatwick, Manchester Airport and London Stansted. It consists of 46”, 55” and 70” LCD screens and video walls along with large format LEDs, and reaches over 100 million passengers annually.

“The flexibility of BroadSign’s platform stood out from alternative solutions for the airport environment and as such, we approached the company directly to discuss Eye Airports’ requirements,” said Andrew Walker, Chairman and CEO of Eye Airports. “BroadSign software has improved our CMS reliability and analysis, increasing our confidence that ad playback meets our customers’ high expectations.”

Eye Airports exclusively plays advertising content to valuable and diverse audiences of business and leisure passengers who experience significant dwell times in prestigious, enclosed spaces. According to a 2010 behaviour study by Eye Airports, 98% of Eye Airports passengers agree they arrive early to shop at the airport and 70% are open to finding out about new products and services when in the airport environment.

The positive mindset of consumers and their openness to advertising influence is attractive to Eye Airports customers, such as luxury brands Chanel and Longines. Airlines like Virgin Airways, British Airways and easyJet take advantage of the 46% of Eye Airports passengers who say that airport advertising makes them aware of travel companies and services (Eye Travel and Tourism Survey 2012).

“BroadSign has firmly established itself as a leader in the transit vertical and our partnership with Eye Airports affirms the strength of our platform in the airport environment,” said Skip Beloff, Vice President of Sales at BroadSign. “Transit networks are especially good at pushing us to develop features for innovative campaigns and we look forward to assisting Eye Airports by providing them with the opportunity to add new and creative dimensions to upcoming projects.”

RB Industries, a leading bespoke signage company for hotels, provided digital signage for Destination Hotels and Resorts at their corporate headquarters in Denver. The turnkey solution includes Keywest Technology digital door signs and an interactive digital wall display, content, programming, property specific custom surrounds, as well as installation and integration with existing property management software.

LENEXA, KS - Destination Hotels and Resorts (DHR) is taking corporate communications to a new level using advanced digital signage systems supplied by Keywest Technology. RB Industries was selected as a preferred vendor to supply the turnkey system, which includes an interactive video wall in the lobby where guests are engaged with multiple screens filled with up-to-the-minute content. Additionally, nine digital door signs are used in the conference area of the Denver-based corporate office to provide room schedules that are automatically sourced from the on-premise Microsoft Exchange server.

With over 30 years of experience providing traditional hospitality signs used for a variety of applications, RB Industries has built a solid reputation working with the finest designers and architects of some of the world's leading resort properties. RB Industries has learned over those years that multiple communication systems not only enhance communications, but also increase operational efficiency, something their clients have increasingly been seeking.

According to Brian Murphy of RB Industries, his company has become an advocate of digital signage where added efficiencies via automation can make positive contributions by more effectively promoting useful information as another customer touch point. Murphy stated, “Digital signage will greatly improve communications for DHR through the use of data automation in the conference rooms, and a separate system in the lobby will engage visitors with interactive visuals that will help tell the compelling DHR story and inform guests of services and amenities offered by the upscale franchise. All of this has realizable ROI and ROO (return on objectives).”

Sam Ruggles, Keywest Technology’s digital solutions manager for hospitality systems, concurs with Murphy that digital signage can address both ROI and ROO in hospitality communications. “ROI is often realized just through cost savings from reduced printing and labor alone,” Ruggles said.

Ruggles also related that even though bottom-line savings are important, the bigger picture has to do with getting more work done with less which points to a return on objectives that can achieve multiple organizational goals of managers across the board.

To this end, Ruggles noted, “Imagine welcoming your conference guests with timely room schedule and wayfinding information as they arrive in your lobby via a digital reader boardundefinedthis is good customer service. Customer service can be further enhanced by promoting useful services and amenities via a large, dynamic, interactive display that takes it a step further.”

The fully interactive reader board in the lobby uses Keywest Technology’s MediaZone Pro digital signage software in combination with custom creative, which provides an engaging guest experience on the multi-panel display system. The company is also supplying its Android-based SignWave digital door sign system to effectively display room-scheduling information sourced from DHR’s Microsoft Exchange server.

Keywest Technology turnkey services included working with DHR managers to develop custom content for a holistic user experience that will aid guests from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave the premises without adding any additional human resources.

OnSite Manager 3.10 Lets Organizations Fine-Tune Local Messaging To Match Their Needs and Processes; Adds Tight Approvals and New Rich Media Capabilities

NEW YORK - Major enhancements to ComQi’s OnSite Manager™ toolkit allow digital signage network operators to fine-tune local messaging capabilities to their organizations’ exacting needs and processes.

ComQi’s newly-released OnSite Manager 3.10 adds new capabilities that allow businesses and organizations of any size to create, manage and schedule digital signage content down to the local office and even local department level. Though easy for users, the browser-based platform is governed by powerful rules and rights-based administration tools that ensure messaging is subject to tight approval processes.

“There was a lot of effort put into this release to respond to the diverse needs of our customers, who represent everything from grocery retailing to health care management,” explained Max Stevens-Guille, Chief Technology Officer of ComQi. “We made it configurable to a lot of different workflows, because we wanted to deliver a product that customers could use the way they wanted to, as opposed to how we might say it had to be used.”

“It’s very powerful when you can tell a customer a system is designed to be readily tailored to their needs and how they work, so that they don’t have to make compromises,” added Stuart Armstrong, ComQi’s Chief Revenue Officer. “Local messaging tools in digital signage are common, but we’re not aware of any competitive products that approach OSM’s depth of capability.”

OSM 3.10 is a companion product to ComQi’s award-winning content management system, EnGage. While digital signage networks are centrally hosted and managed by designated administrators using the ComQi EnGage software as a service solution, the optional OSM system allows content to also be created and updated by anyone within an organization that’s been assigned user rights. Local content created and approved within OSM is distributed and managed using EnGage.

“The great thing about EnGage OnSite Manager is its unique access levels to maintain brand integrity with local customization capabilities,” said Bryant Little, Director of Motion Graphics at PlayNetwork. “We’ve previously been challenged with managing local content, but OnSite Manager gives us the flexibility and ease of use to create branded templates and still give our consumers control of the final output.”
OSM 3.10 provides a digital signage network with the power of location through permission and creation options assigned at head office, regional, local and even department levels. Approved users can easily and quickly customize local messages, and communicate a wide range of information, on templates created by an administrator.

Highlights of OSM 3.10 include:

OnSite Manager (OSM) also expands capabilities for creating real-time and near real-time automated content using sophisticated, but easily activated, data integration tools. Content based on everything from data in food ordering systems to queue management can be mapped and then injected or pulled into pre-designed templates – ensuring content is fresh without requiring any manual updates.

ABOUT COMQI
ComQi is a global leader providing a cloud-based Shopper Engagement Technology that influences consumers at the point of decision, in-store, using all digital touch-points: digital signage, mobile, video, touch, web, and social networks. ComQi’s mission is to deliver an end-to-end solution that is tailored to engage consumers by optimizing communications and marketing strategies that provide the best ROI. Passport, ComQi’s mobile solution, is a targeted communication channel between the retailers and the shop¬pers, through the stores’ displays and the shoppers’ smartphones and tablets.

Through the Passport interactions, retailers enhance their marketing campaign for shoppers to experience a unique and personal connection with their brand. Visitors are stimulated by an entertaining digital dialogue, reinforcing the brand identity and the consumer brand relationship. Simultaneously, retailers gain valuable detailed data analytics and business intelligence on the shoppers.

ComQi’s hundreds of customers include leading brands around the world, such as Victoria’s Secret, Bath and Body Works, Meijer, H&M/Weekday, Six Flags, AT&T, McDonald’s and The Premier League (in the UK), CinemaxX (in Germany), Toys ‘R’ Us (in China), and Carrefour and Credit Lyonnais (in France).

The BroadSign ecosystem expands to include professional digital signage content, accessible and relevant worldwide

Montreal, QC. June 3, 2014 - BroadSign International, LLC, the leading provider of cloud-based digital signage software, has announced a content partnership with BlueFox SA. Headquartered in France, BlueFox provides rights-cleared premium content for digital out-of-home and digital place-based media globally.

“As BroadSign’s digital signage platform continues to mature and serve a growing number of networks, we have an increased responsibility to provide our customers with access to content that is timely, captivating and relevant to spectators’ environments,” said Daniel Parisien, Vice President of Marketing and Strategy at BroadSign. “It was a natural fit to add BlueFox, a company that supplies high quality content worldwide, to the BroadSign ecosystem.”

BlueFox’s strong international presence is bolstered by content offerings in 17 languages and high-profile clients such as JCDecaux, Clear Channel, Citibank, Carrefour, Intermarché, Areva and Orange.

“BlueFox is proud to provide professional digital signage content to the augmenting number of networks standardizing on BroadSign’s platform,” said Andrea Le Vot, Chief Executive Officer EMEA at BlueFox. “Our premium content feeds and technology are at the forefront of industry standards thanks to heavy investment in research and development. Like BroadSign, BlueFox raises the bar in terms of innovation that moves our industry forward.”

BroadSign Creator, an easy-to-use Web-based tool, allows BroadSign customers to build content from ready-made templates, enabling small networks or local operators within large networks to create and play back customized digital signage content. As a complement to BroadSign Creator’s rich feature set, the addition of BlueFox will now provide customers with the ability to add automated real-time content feeds, such as news, weather, sport data and traffic.

In line with BroadSign features that encourage advertisers to make use of smart content in digital signage campaigns, BlueFox services can work with those of other specialized platforms for custom and dynamic deliveries. For example, when combined with the automated audience measurement capabilities of fellow BroadSign partner, Quividi, content can be adapted in real-time depending on the audience viewing a screen.

A kiosk featuring BroadSign digital signage software, as well as BlueFox’s smart content and technology, will be on display within BroadSign’s booth at the upcoming FEPE Congress in Vienna, Austria. Those planning on attending the conference are invited to schedule a meeting with a BroadSign representative.

Chicago, IL - Platt Retail Institute announces the publication of its latest Working Paper, "A Determination of the Revenue Potential From Digital Screen Advertising at a Major League Baseball Stadium."

Sponsored by Digital Signage Expo and Intel, the Working Paper advances a methodology for valuing advertising messages that could be displayed on digital screens at Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs.

It was concluded that "the total annual revenue potential from digital screens at Wrigley Field is almost $18 million," according to Steven Keith Platt, PRI Director and Research Fellow.

The research encompasses two approaches. The first is a market-based approach that considers advertising revenue derived from digital screens installed at comparable Major League Baseball stadiums. The second is a value-based approach, which assigns a value to an in-park sign that is seen during the broadcast of a baseball game by a television audience.

The 57-page Working Paper may be purchased for $250 from the PRI website. It includes an in-depth analysis of digital screen assets and advertising rates at 12 MLB ball parks in the top 10 Designated Marketing Areas.
