Cleveland, Ohio) April 4th, 2011:Keeping in mind the need to relay information to consumers in real time,digital signage is gaining a b foothold as a means of advertising. With the help of digital displays, the information can be controlled, managed and transmitted to remote displays via IP from a single computer source. This information can be in the form of images or animations based on specific locations and seasons.Dynamic in nature, this medium is associated with numerous advantages such as relaying unlimited messages, creating brand awareness due to content updating depending upon specific consumers and compatibility with all standard file formats such as Flash files, Video, HTML, Quicktime, Microsoft office and JPG.
A signage solution is an amalgamation of hardware and software, requiring the former to display information. Since SmartVM specializes in numerous video splitter extenders, they can provide the perfect solution for your digital signage configuration. The basic function of these devices is to replicate the same image and show them on multiple displays. Display devices such as Projectors, LCDs and Plasma screens are all equipment which is used for displaying this information. Typically, the extender can connect 2 to 16 devices, but by cascading, a greater configuration can be achieved. These extenders are capable of transmitting video to output devices placed at a distance up to 300 meters away using Cat5 cables.
If your configurations require even greater distances, this is now capable with newer fiber technology. Catering to this need for innovative products, SmartVM launched the fiber optic extender which can relay the information to distances of several thousand feet. These devices are equipped with a feature that protects data transmission from EMI and RFI and eliminates problems created by lightning and power surges. They are available in Single and Dual link models.
Besides video extenders, another device that can form an integral part of a signage solution is a matrix switch. By creating a matrix of interconnection possibilities from routing video between multiple sources and multiple outputs, the video matrix switcher is ideal for digital solutions in shopping centers, entertainment facilities, restaurants, airports and schools and many more.
