Scala Certified Partner, FSi Creative, in tandem with their technology partner, Formetco Inc, have unveiled the first widescreen digital billboard screen in the Eastern Caribbean, driven solely by Scala’s digital signage software.

The screen, which went live commercially as an advertising platform on August 22nd in the Caribbean island of Dominica, is currently running on Scala 5 software. The 10 / 20 MM Outdoor LED is expected to change the landscape positively for screen communication in Dominica in the Eastern Caribbean.

“We expect both Caribbean operators of digital signage platforms, as well as advertisers, to show considerable more interest in digital outdoor through 2011 and 2012,” according to Kenny Green, of FSi.

One of the main reasons for the expected uplift in interest by the public is the fact that LED billboards can run a rich variety of moving content, when combined with the usage of Scala software. This functionality will make the LED billboards clearly stand out above the current static signs.

“We have tested the platform for a month before it went live officially. One of the reasons we have tested the installation for this period is that we wanted to make sure we had compiled the best mix of supported content and advertisements“, said Josiah James, Lead Scala technician at FSi.

“The Scala platform is the stable software base for this game-changing installation on the Island of Dominica,” said Oscar Elizaga, Vice President EMEA, India and Latin America, Scala. “Our software can integrate with the broadest range of applications in the available market and answer to the highest graphical requirements set for installations such as the high end LED billboard created by FSi and Formetco.”

FSi is very dedicated to installing high quality screens and installations, which is apparent based on their partnership with Formetco. Being a leader in the outdoor display industry for the last 40 years, Formetco delivered exactly the right product that was needed for this eye-catching installation.

“We are excited about the possibilities we are engaging in together with FSi in the Caribbean. After supplying digital screens for FSi’s “Under 17 World Cup Football” tournament project in Trinidad and with pending possibilities in other islands and in Latin America, it is clear that FSi is fully commited to Formetco’s product line when it comes to outdoor digital signs,” said Jock Gibb, VP of Sales for Formetco Inc. “The fact that FSi is dedicated to using our products for their projects is a strong statement towards existing and potential clients.”
