Improved Features
Version 4 POV offers media content owners and distributors, advertising agencies, corporations, and other public and private sector entities an array of new and improved features, including:
Seamless Content Playback
as the player moves from displaying one type of file to another (example flash file to a jpeg/video etc) the transition process is clean and crisp – this feature also improves the quality of the transition from one screen layout to another – and allows individual play blocks to be added to different parts of a screen layout – and also supports Powerpoint 2007.
Conditional Playback
A user is able to attach metadata to both their content and players as a result the playback decision is made at point of playback. This means that players in different locations (timezones/regions/country/zipcode etc) can play different content on each one of them – thus making scheduling easier – for example in a restaurant network it may be appropriate to play family related content during the day and after a certain time then change to a more adult theme.
Web interface
As the current market dynamics change users have a preference for an on-line interface.
Hence this latest version has been developed with an ASP.NET web interface to meet the demand. This provides easier access and can be updated from anywhere, at any time. The web interface also facilitates different user levels, giving administrators the ability to grant rights to individuals with different skill sets. This new level of flexibility also builds in security
Dynamic Data Update
This improvement enables dynamic data from feeds such as SQL or Excel spread sheets to update players directly as the data itself is updated – for example when a customer has a price list update this is reflected in the price on screen – using price here is just one example as this feature means that updates from any dynamic data can be undertaken.
Availability
Version 4 POV will be available for shipment to customers in Q3 2009
