Velociti Partners with Horizon Display to Deploy Kiosks for a First-of-its-kind Community Sustainability Program in Charlotte, NC

18 Jan 2012 10:52 AM | Lauren Taggart (Administrator)

Kansas City, Kan. - January 17, 2012 - Velociti, Inc., a global provider of technology deployment services headquartered in Kansas City, Kan., recently partnered with Horizon Display, a leading touchscreen and digital solutions company, to deploy 64 Interactive Touch Display Kiosks in the uptown business district of Charlotte, NC. The deployment was part of Envision Charlotte, a program that uses digital grid technologies to display real-time energy data throughout the city. The goal of the initiative is to curb electricity use by as much as 20 percent over the next five years, enough to heat 40,000 homes for one year.

The community of Charlotte, NC will be able to see data about its collective energy usage via these digital displays throughout the uptown area. The hope is that through broader energy consumption awareness, consumers will be prompted to make energy saving decisions to collectively contribute towards the 20% reduction goal for the community.

Velociti, which specializes in deploying a broad range of networking, digital signage and transportation technologies, was responsible for placement and installation of all preconfigured hardware and will handle post-installation service on all 64 kiosks.

“Horizon Display has a natural ability to create quality interactive digital experiences” said Jim West, Vice President of Sales for Velociti. “We thoroughly enjoy working with them and see a great future for this dynamic partnership between Velociti and Horizon Display.”

The Horizon Display kiosk design offers an ergonomic experience, that leverages the large display to grab passerby’s attention, and the interactive technology to keep them involved, all with a minimal use of floor space. Behind the scenes, the kiosk contains a professional grade media server and 4G wireless connectivity, which make the kiosk both powerful and mobile.

“We really get energized when we see the impact our technology can have on others’ businesses and strategies. This kiosk even has an impact on the environment, and we’re proud of that. However, we know this large scale deployment wouldn’t have been possible without the experience of Velociti. Like any good solution, there must always be a good team involved,” added Matthew Cutone, VP & General Manager for Horizon Display.

“We are very excited to be involved with such a ground-breaking project,” said Deryk Powell, COO of Velociti inc. “We hope to see other major metropolitan areas follow their lead and enact similar programs to benefit our communities in such a positive way.”

Dynascan Technology Introduces Two New 55-Inche Ultra-High Bright Narrow Bezel Professional LCDs

10 Jan 2012 4:32 PM | Lauren Taggart (Administrator)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Scott Pickus

Tel: 949-421-0348 x135

Email: scottp@dynascanusa.com

DynaScan introduced this week new 2,500 nit and 5,000 nit high brightness narrow bezel professional LCDs. The displays feature 55-inch screens with IPS technology and an 11.5 mm bezel.

Irvine (Jan 10, 2012) – DynaScan Technology, a leader in manufacturing unique digital signage solutions, has introduced two new 55-inch high bright and ultra-high bright narrow bezel professional LCDs, the DS55LT4 and DS55LT6. The DS55LT4 features a brightness rating of 2,500 cd/m², while the DS55LT6 sports a maximum brightness of 5,000 cd/m². Both screens feature a direct LED local dimming back light, and an 11.5 mm bezel, making them ideal for video wall applications in bright environments.

DynaScan has applied its expertise in LED optics to achieve daylight viewable images up to 5,000 nits, making them easy to view even in direct sunlight applications such as storefront windows or outdoor enclosures. The displays feature a local dimming LED back light technique for a remarkably high contrast picture as high as 1,000,000:1 (dynamic). With direct local dimming, darker areas of an image receive less backlighting than lighter areas, as opposed to CCFL and edge-lit LED backlights which illuminate an entire screen at all times causing blacks and dark areas to appear washed out.

The DS55LT4 and DS55LT6 feature a narrow 11.5 mm bezel for tiled video wall applications. With built-in video daisy chaining, a single 1080p source can be used on video walls up to 6x6 in size without the need for any additional external video wall controller.

To increase performance and prolong the lifespan of the display, the DS55LT4 utilizes a fanless thermal management system. Heat generated by the display is radiated away from high temperature areas while a sensor continuously monitors the internal temperature to protect the system from overheating. All of this is done without the use of any fans, resulting in silent operation and greatly reducing the potential of mechanical failure. This is especially beneficial in areas with a lot of dust which can eventually obstruct a vent and cause the display to overheat.

DynaScan’s DS² line of LCDs was introduced last year offering a full range of narrow bezel, and sunlight readable high brightness digital signage display solutions.

Availability

The DynaScan DS55LT4 and DS55LT6 professional LCDs are available for order through authorized DynaScan dealers or by visiting DynaScan’s website http://www.dynascanusa.com.

About DynaScan Technology, Inc.

DynaScan Technology, Inc. is an innovative digital signage display manufacturer, providing a full range of high bright and narrow bezel professional LCDs as well as the award winning line of DynaScan 360° cylindrical LED video displays.

MMD Launches Next Generation Philips No-Glasses 3D Displays

09 Jan 2012 12:42 PM | Donielle Rininger (Administrator)

Atlanta (January 5, 2012) - MMD, the exclusive marketer and reseller for Philips-branded LCD monitors and commercial signage displays worldwide, announced today a new line of no-glasses 3D displays with auto-stereoscopic technology, the 23” BDL23301VS, 42” BDL4251VS, and 55” BDL5571VS. Developed in conjunction with Dimenco, a leading technology company in the field of no-glasses 3D, the new displays are designed to make people enjoy the sharpest and most vivid 3D resolution in the market.

The no-glasses 3D displays can achieve up to 28 viewing angles via lenticular technology. With this technology, audiences are able to see the best quality around objects from the standing spot in front of the display itself.

The no-glasses 3D display line can play both 2D and 3D (2D+Z) images and videos. This makes it extremely flexible as a digital signage tool. The integrated Dimenco rendering core that works with the Dimenco interface format (2D +Z), not only gives both content creators and end users full control of the depth-effect characteristics of their 3D images, but also offers simple creation of stunning and eye-catching 3D content. The BDL4251VS, which has already received a nomination for the 2012 Technology InAVation Awards, offers the deepest and most realistic visual experience in the no-glasses 3D display market today. MMD will be demonstrating this technology at CES 2012 January 10-13, 2012 at the Bellagio Hotel.

The NEW Philips No-Glasses 3D Display Line include the following features:

Screen Sizes: 23”, 42”, 55”
Smart InsertTM (42”, 55”)
Smart PowerTM (23”, 42”, 55”)
Brightness: 700cd/m2 (42”, 55”)

(www.davacoinc.com) recently announced that the company has broadened its operations to include comprehensive multi-site sustainability and resource reduction solutions to help retail and restaurant chains optimize their operational performance. DAVACO’s new service offering comes as a result of a strategic acquisition of Austin-based Ecoxera (www.ecoxera.com), a retail sustainability consulting firm. Justin Doak, who is the founder of Ecoxera, will continue to serve as president.

“DAVACO is now able to further support retail and restaurant clients in meeting their environmental goals by offering a broader range of turnkey multi-site sustainability solutions. This comprehensive offering includes on-site/energy and waste assessments, analysis of data, including carbon benchmarking, as well as the roll-out/installation of sustainability programs,” said Rick Davis, CEO, DAVACO. “While retail and restaurant owners have been exploring a myriad of single-site green options, the industry is at a point where we know what is working and we have found that multi-site sustainability programs offer the greatest potential to provide the most impactful results. Together, DAVACO and Ecoxera can provide expertise that provides national brands the ability to integrate sustainability as a low-cost value add to any existing roll-out program.”

DAVACO provides retail and restaurant clients with a single resource for the development, management and execution of portfolio-wide programs that can be designed to include sustainability to increase efficiencies and reduce capital expenditures. DAVACO’s turnkey solutions now include: Facility benchmarking; Site and asset performance surveys; Data analysis & planning; Program data collection & aggregation; System automation and optimization, including waste management programs; Executive reporting; and Multi-site LEED credit compliance execution.

Davis says that DAVACO’s sustainability services are tailored to each individual client and that many of the programs often complement their clients’ existing facility upgrade initiatives. By combining site improvements with sustainability enhancements, clients gain maximum efficiencies when work is already being done at each location. DAVACO offers a full range of services to assist national retail and restaurant clients with the execution of high-volume programs, including rollouts, retrofits, resets, remodels, installations and site surveys.

“For many retailers and restaurants, the biggest challenge is working through the notion that a greener solution has to come with a premium price, but the reality is in almost all cases, implementing sustainable operations practices actually produces real cost savings,” said Justin Doak, president, Ecoxera. “I am pleased to have the opportunity to partner with DAVACO to help nationwide brands evaluate and develop sustainability programs, so they can begin seeing tangible results. Whether the focus is energy, waste, water or HVAC, we can develop practical and methodical approaches to integrate sustainable programs that benefit the environment and the bottom-line.”

OpenService, Your End-to-End Digital Signage Solution

07 Nov 2011 3:38 PM | Lauren Taggart (Administrator)

OpenService, an alliance of hardware, software and content creation partners, is seeking to tackle the challenges and hassles of digital signage deployments. Most small and medium sized businesses that are deploying digital signage these days do not really know what they are getting into beyond the obvious capital expenditure of buying a display, a media player, and a software package. Many deployments of digital signage solutions often revert to displays being used to show the weather channel or a news channel, without any brand messaging or digital signage-specific content. After a while the business that spent a ton of money on their digital signage deployments just gave up on trying keeping fresh, relevant content playing on the displays.

"Basically what we're trying to do is take that pain away from the customer," said Vernon Slack, Director of Business Development for AOpen America. "The reality is that most people don't really understand what they have to deal with to get a digital signage solution in place and keep it maintained and running. What we're saying is we'll outsource that for you, we'll do it for you."

"The bigger issues for people installing digital signage have nothing to do with the capital expenditure," said Slack. "Eighty percent of the total costs of ownership on those devices really are the operational costs, which are maintaining the system and the content creation."

Now end-users can think of digital signage like they would a new smart phone. They can just pay a monthly fee and use it, without worrying about how it works. Instead of shopping around for all the components necessary for a comprehensive and full-spectrum digital signage solution and new digital signage, end-users can go to one provider and get everything in one place.

Our End-to-End services include:

Remote Management: Utilizing the latest technologies, hardware diagnostics and maintenance can now be done remotely, eliminating the need for most on site visits.
Content Creation Services: These services take the hassles out of having to create fresh, creative, and up to date content on digital deployments.
Consulting Services: Consultants will help customers come up with a long-term strategy built around their digital signage deployment.
Anonymous Video Analytics: This service is Using Intel's AIM (Audience Impression Metrics) Suite for anonymous video analytics.
Mobile and Social Engagement: The service will push their digital signage brand message out to mobile and social networks.

Analytics provides a powerful tool for advanced and real time feedback of digital signage campaigns, improving overall business efficiency. This allows the overall OpenService platform the ability to reduce teh Total Cost of Ownership for digital signage deployments by up to 25 percent, through savings in labor, operation, maintenance, and content services. If you would like a demonstration of tehse tools and service, OpenService will be demonstrating at CETW on November 9th to the 10th in Booth #313 and at the Sprint Open Solution Conference from November 2nd to the 5th in the M2M demo room. If you would like to schedule a demonstration or obtain more information, please contact: sales@open-service.org.

About OpenService:

Founded and built upon an alliance of hardware, software, and content creation partners, OpenService seeks to tackle the challenges of traditional digital signage deployments with the expertise and experience necessary to bring a total solution to any digital signage deployment and ensure it is done right. By offering an End-to-End total solution, OpenService takes the hassles of purchasing solutions, maintaining hardware, and creating new relevant content and puts it all in the hands of professionals. Please visit us at www.open-service.org.
