Motomedia The Masters Of Format

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

It doesn’t seem to matter what format screen these guys use, Motomedia tend to come up with something innovative and exciting to advertisers every time they roll out a new deployment. A few weeks ago they used old Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) television monitors for a binge drinking campaign in London, a massive 8 windows […]

Thomson Financial News reported yesterday… Sellers were also about in I-Design Group, 5-1/2 pence down at 41 pence, as the provider of ATM advertising solution, turned in widening half-year losses.

Global Telecom Major Announcement

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We heard rumours in the US last week about a major deal announcement coming from one of the Global Telecoms suppliers! We have always been amazed at how few Digital Signage hardware and software vendors have ever taken the time (or had the balls) to make a play for the Telecoms folks. The Telecom guys […]

Kiosk Folks Don’t Get Digital Signage

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We were only talking to Dynamax’s PR folks last week about how we think that Kiosk folks simply don’t get Digital Signage at all – which is why so many, if not all of the Kiosk events that try to do Digital Signage add-ons fair so badly – come on some of them have been […]

Odd Shaped Screen Arrangement(s)

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Not quite an odd shaped screen like our Harrods example but certainly an odd shaped screen arrangement and we are told by C-nario handled perfectly and easily by one of their players – without the need to render any of the component parts separately. Picture taken at InfoComm 08 on C-nario’s stand.

3M Vikuiti

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

3M had a nice stand at Infocomm and seemed to be one of the stands that was ALWAYS busy. They showed off their rear projection stuff really well and had some nice odd shaped screens. Legality may be an obstacle (not sure of US regulations) but the best way to show how great their Vikuiti […]

Litemax Version Of ITrans

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Almost hidden away on a small stand at Infocomm was this rather unique Litemax version of Screen Technology Ltd’s ITrans offering. It’s very similar to their own that they have been using in places such as Harrods and similar to what their other OEM, Hantarex used at Roland Garros BUT was slimmer (width wise), quieter […]
