Peerless-AV Launches KioskBuilder: Online Service for Easy Kiosk Customization

0

Peerless-AV has unveiled KioskBuilder™, an innovative online service that streamlines the process of designing and building fully integrated kiosks. Announced at the Digital Signage Expo 2013, this new tool allows users to design a customized kiosk in just days, rather than weeks, by offering a point-and-click configuration and delivering a pre-tested, ready-to-install kiosk directly to the customer’s door.

Efficient Self-Service Configuration

KioskBuilder™ is now available at kiosks.peerless-av.com. The application guides customers through a series of questions to customize their kiosk based on specific needs. Options include indoor or outdoor use, portrait or landscape orientation, and free-standing or wall-mounted setups. Additionally, customers can choose from a variety of displays, touch technologies, media players, cameras, content management software, and more from top industry vendors. There is also an option for customers to integrate their own components or request specific products or services not listed.

Simplified Turnkey Installation

Once the configuration is complete, Peerless-AV’s team of kiosk specialists reviews the request, delivers a quote, purchases the necessary components, integrates and tests the system to ensure compatibility, and ships the finished kiosk. This process eliminates the need for individual component sourcing and on-site setup, allowing users to simply plug in the power, connect to the network, load the content, and have the kiosk operational within the same day.

New Kiosk Partner Program

Peerless-AV has also introduced a Kiosk Partner Program, establishing an ecosystem of top-tier manufacturers whose products are included in the KioskBuilder™ application. Early partners in this program include NEC Display Solutions, Samsung, Sharp, Panasonic, Philips MMD, LG, AOpen, Actineon, Tech Global, Touch Systems, Avnet Services, Legacy Retail Systems, Christie Digital Manager Services, Rise Display, Dynasign, Scala, SaddleRanch, NextNow, and others.

Jeff Blankensop, Director of Business Development at Peerless-AV, highlighted the program’s benefits: “One of the key advantages of the Peerless-AV Kiosk Partner Program is the interoperability of the partners’ products, which ensures that end clients’ integrated solutions will operate flawlessly for years to come. This is a significant benefit for partners and has led to a strong early response.”

Next Generation Design for Digital Signage Displays and Interactive Kiosks: Leveraging AIS Multi Touch Screen Monitors in Enhancing User Experience

0

Projected Capacitive Multi Touch Screen Monitor AISTechnology is touching more people’s lives every day. Multi Touch Technology-enabled devices and equipment can sense touch inputs in more than one location simultaneously, and they are having a profound impact in today’s digital signage and interactive kiosk systems settings. Nearly everyone is beginning to interact frequently with multi-touch displays through the two-fingered ‘pinch, zoom, rotate’ features now standard on digital signage and interactive kiosk systems. The ease-of-use and ubiquity of touch screen designs in interactive kiosk is having a knock-on effect when it comes to expectations for user interfaces within a public exhibit that provides access to information and applications for communication, commerce, entertainment, and education. And for designers looking to deliver the optimum user experience by unlocking the power of touch-based control, the future is absolutely multi touch.

Restaurant Chain Chooses Harris Digital Out-Of-Home Technology for Flexible In-House Video

Harris DOOH Happy Bar Grill Bulgaria 2

Happy Group Updates Digital Signage in 29 Locations across Bulgaria with Managed Service

Bulgaria’s leading restaurant and hospitality group has implemented a second generation digital signage system using Harris Digital Out-Of-Home technology. Happy Bar & Grill, and its sister brands Happy Sushi and Captain Cook, now benefit from full HD multi-zone content and messaging tailored to each restaurant, supplied as a managed service by specialist provider Digital Generation.

The group has 29 restaurants across eight cities in Bulgaria. Each brand and location has a different character, with requirements for a core service of music videos, entertainment clips and promotional material tailored for each location. In addition, Happy Group specified the ability for local insertion of content when required.

“We reviewed the requirements, and knew that only the InfoCaster™ system could deliver all the functionality required in HD quality,” said Georgi Dobrev, executive manager of service provider Digital Generation. “We create and schedule the content at our offices in Varna using InfoCaster Creator and InfoCaster Manager, which means all that is needed at each restaurant is an InfoCaster Player.”

The InfoCaster Player at each location stores tailored content, inserts live content such as TV feeds and accepts downloaded schedules from Digital Generation. This means it runs completely automatically, and the restaurant staff need not be diverted from their normal roles. The integration of InfoCaster Manager means that, from its central office, Digital Generation can deliver content tailored to each restaurant, and even to multiple zones within a restaurant, ensuring that the programming precisely matches the customer profile of each venue.

Harris DOOH Happy Bar Grill Bulgaria 1To allow for special events, the InfoCaster Players installed at each location include DVB-T television tuners. Individual restaurant managers can choose to show live TV if desired, for example if a local sports team was playing. In live television mode the InfoCaster Player provides branding and messaging for the restaurant. The manager also has the ability to trigger special events stored in the players, such as a “happy birthday” routine, with the name of the guest in the graphics and automatic dimming of lights.

“The Happy Group recognizes that good, targeted and fun video content adds to the appeal of their restaurants and builds the brand through promotions and advertising,” said Dobrev. “But their specialization is in running restaurants, so they needed a partner that would provide a complete managed service from content creation to the individual screens. In turn, we at Digital Generation wanted a software and hardware solution from a single vendor that minimizes the need for integration and set-up, allowing us to get the service on air quickly and maintain it reliably. Harris Digital Out-of-Home provides that one-stop-shop in digital signage, and InfoCaster is the key to the success of this project.”

“This is a great example of the way that trusted partnerships build value all along the line,” said Denise MacDonell, director and general manager for Harris Digital Out-of-Home. “The restaurant group wanted a digital out-of-home experience without the extra operational overhead of managing something away from its core expertise. Digital Generation could design and run the system but wanted a turnkey solution that they knew was simply plug and play, and InfoCaster provides the platform. Result: Everyone is happy with a successful solution that meets their business needs.”

Capital Networks Limited, a leading global provider of dynamic digital signage content creation and management software, announced the release of the latest addition to the Audience software platform — Audience for Android – in June 2012. Powered by the android operating system, the Audience for Android media player and software bundle provides a high performance, low cost alternative to traditional Windows OS based digital signage deployments.

“We’re very pleased with the recognition and feedback we’ve received regarding the new Audience for Android solution,” said Jim Vair, Vice President of Business Development at Capital Networks. “We were interested in releasing a product and establishing a ‘high-water mark’ of what customers should be able to expect from Android OS media players and ensured that our Android OS media player had the advanced features that help customers reach the full potential of their digital signage deployments. Due to the fact that the android solution provides a user friendly, low cost alternative, it’s less prohibitive to those looking into digital signage for the first time while offering current operators the opportunity to expand or increase the number of individual, unique screens in their network more cost effectively”.

Along with the ability to take advantage of the advanced Audience content management system, some of the key features found within Audience for Android include:
