Intel Cognovision

Continuing its push into digital signage, Intel recently bought CognoVision Solutions Inc. for about USD$20 million.

The Canadian company helps advertisers measure the effectiveness of in-store marketing. CognoVision’s technology can analyze the amount of time a customer spends with a display and the number of people who walk by that display.

Now there's a video that shows you Intel's vision for the future of digital signage (and why Intel sees CognoVision as an important acquisition to achieve that strategy).

SpinetiX Integrates CMS in Media Players

SpinetiX

Called Fusion, SpinetiX's new digital signage software application, designed for small-scale signage projects, is a DS design and CMS application.

Integrated within every SpinetiX HMP Hyper Media Player, Fusion allows content to be managed via a web browser interface and can therefore be accessed either locally or remotely using a PC, Mac, Linux or iPad platform -- or any combination of these. Once connection to the player has been achieved, content can be uploaded, edited and published quickly with minimal technical skill.

Because Fusion is installed within every HMP and no additional software is required, there are no subscription license fees for users to pay. The user interface features a pretty intuitive drag-and-drop architecture and there is a choice of languages. There's a demo video to watch as well as info to be found on the link below.

Match Point Coverage for Cayin

Cayin Taipei Ladies Open

Cayin's digital signage players take control of the Taipei Ladies Open, together with Heimavista's cloud-based sports game system. All live scores and figures were collected and managed by Heimavista’s sports game system. Through CAYIN’s digital signage players, the live sports data from Heimavista’s system was presented on the LED screens.

The arena's twin 300" LED screens connected to a Cayin player operated via network so immediate template and content changes could be made as the signage director required.

Meanwhile, Heimavista's system collects and manages live scores and figures fed to the players. As referees keep track of scores on their PDAs, the same data is transmitted to web server for broadcast.

Cayin notes such an all-digital system not only increases transmission efficiency, but also reduces paper consumption in the sports arena.
