(openPR) - Jerusalem, Israel (December 18, 2006) – ScreenExpo in association with Minicom Advanced Systems are to present the first ever digital signage showcase at this year’s largest digital signage event at Earls Court, London, from 31st January to 1st February.
The showcase will give visitors a valuable glimpse into the workings of a complete digital signage installation along with a chance to meet the key market leaders from each segment in the supply chain. Featured at the showcase will be Minicom, manufacturers of player-to-screen distribution systems; 3M, suppliers of content management software; NEC, Europe’s largest provider of large format LCD displays; and DVI Partnerships, specialist digital signage installers.
Digitally powered signs represent a rapidly growing market with applications ranging from information billboards and in-store advertising to welcome signs and corporate training aids. With significant benefits over traditional print advertising, dynamic attention-getting media can be updated in real-time and targeted to specific audiences.
Minicom’s distribution systems fit into the ‘last mile’ of the digital signage network, narrowcasting the multimedia content from the player to distant plasma/LCD screens, in real-time. According to Ronni Guggenheim, President of Minicom Europe; “Our distribution systems can be customized to fit precise application and budget specifications without compromising on the end sound and image quality. While planning and rolling out a digital signage project can be a complex process, the showcase will help to demonstrate the ease with which a state-of-the-art digital signage network can be created while keeping within budget and on time.”
Mark Pigou, Show Director adds; “Screen Expo is delighted to be working with Minicom and other leading companies in presenting the first ever “Digital Signage Showcase.” Our goal to continue presenting our visitors with the very latest in thought leadership and leading technology solutions for this dynamic industry is being spearheaded by this feature in 2007. Another unique opportunity for our global audience to learn how to get their digital signage projects on the right track, right from the start.”
