Keywest Technology Introduces 6-Channel Video Wall Player

0
0

The Breeze multi-head player brings an affordable way to have large-scale visual impact with the simplicity of a single media player that doubles as a video wall controller. Supporting 1080P on each digital screen, inspiring video walls are now in the grasp of aspiring businesses that refuse to settle for ordinary.


LENEXA, Kan. (December 3, 2014)– Keywest Technology has launched a multi-head digital signage player using a powerful Intel® Core™ i7 CPU running on an Ubuntu® open source software platform. The multi-head player supports up to six 1080P channels, which provide a total resolution of 11,520 x 6,480 pixels, giving it the ability to create impressive video walls using thin bezel LCD screens. The player is controlled via the company’s cloud-based digital signage service called Breeze Digital Signage®.

Breaking tradition from the miniature-sized media players that are common today, the multi-head player is housed in a rugged 1.5RU server chassis that is designed for 24/7 operation. It uses an integrated six-port HDMI display card with Mini DisplayPort outputs. The chassis also uses a beefy 400W PSU with two internal cooling fans and a typical front to back flow-thru design for superior heat management.

“Our 6-head digital signage player gives system integrators, interior designers and architects an attractive choice for designing large displays with readily available thin-bezel LCD technology,” commented Keywest Technology’s President Nick Nichols. “The 6-head digital signage player is designed to work with all commercial-grade LCD products, allowing AV designers to implement video walls or menu arrays with only a few components. This is an ideal technology for creating larger-than-life images that are attractive, affordable and reliable.”

The Breeze Multi-Head 6 player is really two products in one. First and foremost, it is a digital signage media player. The player connects to a cloud server to download and cache content automatically or based on a schedule. Automatic content is typically sourced from built-in widgets that pull data from Internet or third-party sources. The widgets allow for multiple weather, news and RSS feeds, but third-party providers deliver syndicated and customized content feeds.

Another way of controlling content is by scheduling playlists through an online editor. The 6-head player can be easily controlled from anywhere using the Internet. For example, an administrator or assigned user logs in to their secured account on the BreezeDigitalSignage.com website. From there, access is given to upload media, create playlists, and schedule playlists based on date and time of day. Advanced digital signage management tools like nested playlists, an advertising module, and an admin approval queue are also provided.

The second function of the 2-in-1 multi-head player is the multi-screen controller, which performs similarly to a video wall controller. The supplied setup software allows up to 6 screens to be configured, either in landscape or portrait orientation. This gives some variation and flexibility on the outcome, with users deciding to have individual content on each channel or preferring to spread content to all of the displays combined. In either scenario, the displays must all be of the same model and resolution, with 1080P being the preferred default.

The Breeze Multi-Head 6 is being delivered now, with several notable installations including the fully restored and updated Orpheum Theater in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. AV system integrators, architectural media designers and digital signage resellers are encouraged to inquire for more information on the Breeze Digital Signage website: http://www.breezedigitalsignage.com/

Digital out-of-home media owner, manufacturer and service supplier of vehicular-based digital advertising solutions, Metropolis Digital Media Ltd, will be using BroadSign International, LLC’s cloud-based software platform to power screens atop the iconic London taxis.

Dynamically reaching viewers in locations such as financial hubs, shopping centers and London’s theatre district, MDM empowers brands to inform, entertain and engage with the right audience, alone or integrated with other media channels.

“The United Kingdom is notable in that the segment of BroadSign’s network in the region greatly contributes to setting the stage for trends in the global digital signage market,” said Skip Beloff, Vice President of Sales at BroadSign. “The addition of Metropolis Digital Media strengthens this reality and BroadSign is pleased to act as a key element in its value-added turnkey proposition.”

The moving digital taxi top offering is viewed as a new, powerful medium that assists creative agencies and clients wanting exposure to attractive central London consumers.

Solution offers active switching based on real HDMI signal detection

Kramer Electronics announced today the release of the VS-211HA, an auto switcher that allows flexible, active switching based on real signal detection.

VS-211HA can switch inputs while keeping the output active and HDMI links alive, making it more efficient and reliable than a standard standby switcher. Users can easily select between auto switching (last-connected or priority) and manual switching modes (manual and manual override), offering use-case flexibility.

VS-211HA detects real HDMI signals instead of just 5V presence, allowing auto switching only to sources actually in use. HDMI 5V output turns off when no inputs are connected to enable cascaded setups and to let displays go into sleep mode.

The Kramer VS-211HA offers full signal re-clocking and parallel analog audio and HDMI switching. VS-211HA also features HEC, ARC and 3D pass-through and supports full HD video up to 6.75Gbps (2.25Gbps per graphic channel).

UIEvolution Introduces UIE BlueSync, Powerful New Bluetooth Low Energy Networking Product

UIE BlueSync enables next-generation connected experiences between the car, smart phone and consumer electronic devices through Bluetooth Low Energy

UIEvolution, Inc., a leading global vertical cloud SaaS provider delivering solutions to consumer-focused enterprise companies in the Automotive, Cruise and Hospitality industries, today introduced UIE BlueSyncTM.

UIE BlueSync enables any device with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to exchange information with the car’s in-dash head unit. This creates new opportunities for integrated smart vehicle interactions and provides all passengers a more enjoyable in-vehicle infotainment experience, which current systems can not provide.

UIE BlueSync creates a secure network that supports connections with multiple smartphones and other BLE-equipped devices within the car and the home. UIE BlueSync eliminates the need for active device pairing, enabling handsets to interoperate with the vehicle’s head unit so that a driver or passenger can experience a more social and personalized experience. With UIE BlueSync, drivers can send driving directions from their phone to their in-dash navigation unit, view video from a BLE-equipped back-up camera on their phone or tablet or automatically set driver preferences, such as seat and mirror positions from their phone.

“We want to make the vehicle’s head unit, smart devices and, of course, the smart phone work together seamlessly to provide greater convenience and fun for the driver and passengers,” UIEvolution CEO and president Chris Ruff said. “UIE BlueSync takes advantage of the power and growing ubiquity of Bluetooth Low Energy to bring new meaning to the concept of the connected car, transforming the vehicle’s head unit into a smart hub for nearby devices.”

UIE BlueSync is the next step in UIEvolution’s connected car platform, promising a more robust driving experience by expanding the reach of the vehicle’s head unit beyond radio and navigation. Vehicle owners will have the ability to control which devices can access the head unit and what features those devices can access. Because it is based on industry standards, in the future UIE BlueSync will also make it possible to connect the car with other smart BLE devices. For example, a vehicle could automatically and securely check itself in for a service appointment when arriving at the dealership.

UIE BlueSync will be compatible with all mobile devices that support Bluetooth Low Energy, including wearables, smart home devices and even the vehicle’s central computer. UIE BlueSync utilizes industry-standard security protocols to protect user data, as well.

“UIE BlueSync offers unique capabilities for the near future of the connected car,” said Koji Hosaka, UIEvolution’s Japan President and GM of Automotive. “With the growing penetration of global standards like Bluetooth Low Energy, people increasingly expect their smart devices to talk to each other and the car is a natural part of that ecosystem. Our goal at UIEvolution is make those integrations as simple and intuitive as possible.”

Amsterdam, The Netherlands. January 12, 2015. The Amsterdam-based in-store marketing frontrunner, The Music Marketeers BV, is using BroadSign International, LLC’s cloud-based digital signage software to power the Burger King “King Channel”.

Situated in over 50 of the fast food giant’s Dutch locations, the King Channel has an average of three 40” screens per restaurant that entertain and inform customers who choose to eat their meals onsite. Content composed of 70% music videos, 20% live video, 5% advertising and 5% information also assists in reinforcing Burger King’s branding and communications.

Captive Media Ltd Converts to BroadSign International, LLC for Growing Washroom Digital Signage Network

Innovative and engaging network will expand to 1,500 screens by 2017.

London, England. January 27, 2015. The first and only provider of digital signage in washrooms across the United Kingdom, Captive Media Ltd, has converted its network to BroadSign International, LLC’s cloud-based software platform. After deploying 60 screens in London in 2014, another 160 will be installed in major regional cities over the next few months, contributing toward an expansion goal of 1,500 screens by 2017.

Captive Media screens situated in washrooms of bars, pubs and clubs, reach a targeted audience of males between 18 and 35 years old. Each 12” LCD screen generates around 800 impressions per week for a total of just under 100,000 weekly impressions across the current network.

“We conducted a review of the Top 30 digital signage software companies identified by DailyDOOH and chose BroadSign because it is best-in-class for ad-based networks and one of only a few that would allow us to distribute interactive games in addition to regular video assets,” said Gordon MacSween, Founder and Director at Captive Media.

Network content is meant to entertain, promote and engage, with 10-second slots contributing to a 90-second loop, half of which is entertainment including RSS-fed pictorial news and the other contains ads. The interactive portion lasts about 55 seconds (the average dwell time) and contains branded content and games ideal for brands targeting a male, Gen Y audience, such as Guinness, Smirnoff and Captain Morgan.

“BroadSign has built a reputation for being at the forefront of innovation in our industry and we do so to ensure our customers can focus on being leaders in their respective domains,” said Skip Beloff, Vice President of Sales at BroadSign. “By minimizing scheduling time, Captive Media can focus on venue and advertiser acquisitions to expand its highly successful network rather than occupy resources with software development.”

Not only do Captive Media screens turn a minute of boredom into a unique experience for pub-goers, the network delivers directly attributable sales uplifts of 25% to 200% for featured brands and the venue.

“There are so many factors involved in building and operating a new digital signage network that it’s a blessing to schedule ads simply and reliably, and delivering audited reports in an industry where measurability is normally an Achilles heel is an added bonus,” continued MacSween.

To learn more about BroadSign’s digital signage software, book a meeting with a representative at Integrated Systems Europe or sign up for a free trial.
