Amscreen calls it “a ground-breaking partnership” with Sharp and it will see their technologies combined to create “the first truly affordable and scalable outdoor screen solution.”

Simon Sugar, Amscreen CEO, comments, "The launch of our digital six sheet offering is a key milestone in the industry. Until now, no product has been designed specifically for the large scale needs of existing and potential users of digital signage. We're pleased to have collaborated with Sharp to bring an outstanding product to market at an affordable price. We are still in the prototype stage, but initial feedback from customers in our target sectors has been fantastic and we look forward to rolling out the screens towards the end of the year."

NanoTech showed at DSE14 the Nuvola NP-C, calling it “ the world's first commercial-grade 4K networked and interactive media player that supports true 4K Ultra HD content and delivers four-times the resolution of yesterday's HD devices.”

The NP-C is a low-cost, solid-state commercial-grade digital media player that makes it fast and easy to manage and change content on the fly, whether you're using Android App's HTML5 or Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions, like 11-Giraffes.

Connects via Ethernet or Wi-Fi to any network with 6Mbit/s or greater to stream 4K UltraHD movies or videos from a variety of sources including the bundled NanoFlix UHD media player.

The Nuvola NP-C measures just 3½ inches by 6 inches yet features an industrial case supporting a wide variety of mounting options.

At GlobalShop 2014, Micro Industries unveils, its unique Touch&Go Digital Lollipop 55, a dual-sided 55” interactive portrait touchscreen in a less than 2.4” (6cm) thick profile.

The ultra-thin profile encases “the first truly double-sided touchscreen of its kind”. This interactive digital signage is perfect for consumer use in department stores, malls, hotels, airports and other high-traffic areas.

The new design provides a sturdy, upscale and futuristic look— you can move it into place at the last minute because it’s mobile as well.

Each digital lollipop supports single or multi-touch touchscreens simultaneously, using independent processors that separately drive the operating system. To ensure minimal deflection of the screens when touched, the displays are encased in a metal frame securely fastened to the sturdy base suitable for high traffic areas.

BrightSign used NAB 2014 as the occasion to reveal its 4K players will support MPEG-DASH which enables high-quality streaming of media content over the Internet.

"4K opens up so many possibilities in digital signage and other industry applications, but it’s important to understand how to deploy these new 4K technologies properly," says Jeff Hastings, BrightSign’s CEO. “As BrightSign continues to expand into the 4K market, we are working with a wider range of partners and demonstrating new technology for supporting the 4K ecosystem at NAB.”

MPEG-DASH is critical when it comes to broadcasting 4K content via the Internet. The protocol takes content from standard HTTP servers and separates that content into individual segments, enabling network bandwidth optimization in real time for maximum streaming efficiency. Efficiencies are maximized because the highest possible bit rate segment will be streamed at any given time, depending on the network resources available at that time.

Projection Advertising changes its name to Projection Artworks to reflects the work they now do surpasses just advertising: event production, creative services, custom software development, custom app development …and more.

“We’re the largest video-mapping studio in London,” says Tom Burch, Managing Director. “We’ve won awards for our creative studio and worked all over the world; right now we’re working on shows in Saudi Arabia, Germany and the UK. Projection advertising is still one our services, but it doesn’t define us anymore.”

The owner of the English Premier League team Fulham F.C. is Shahid "Shad" Khan, a Pakistani-born billionaire and automobile parts manufacturer (Flex-N-Gate) who lives and works in USA.

Khan's net worth is over $3.8 billion and earns him the 490th wealthiest person in the world as well as the richest person of Pakistani origin. Khan was once featured on the front cover of Forbes Magazine as “the face of the American Dream” (going from rags to riches by your own efforts).

Khan apparently enjoys the American dictum, “Think Big.”

In America, where he owns the National Football League's Jacksonville Jaguars he will partner with Daktronics to manufacture and install what it says will be the largest HD LED video displays in the world at each end zone of EverBank sports field in Florida.

At DSE 2014, Intel's Jose Avalos, director of digital signage, embedded and communications group, told an audience that—after the release of Google's newest Chromeboxes-- the search giant will be zeroing in on digital signage.

It’s no big surprise that the Chromeboxes could be very inexpensive digital signage media players and the Chrome platform could make the back-end cheaper as well.

The trick for Chromebox is that cost is dropping lower and lower, now approaching $150. With Chrome, one web-based management console cab be used to push the content to the Chromesboxes so it can be shown on displays, which should help bring down the IT and support costs of digital signage networks.
