Application Education - Presenter is ideal for the classroom environment, allowing the teacher to monitor and control students’ activities from a single PC. Each student can work on unique applications from his or her own separate station. Administrators at educational institutions can broadcast assignments, messages and events to faculty, students, and staff at different locations without excessive costly overlap. Advertising - Digital signage is replacing conventional printed advertising and billboard displays by sending targeted messages to different locations at specific times from a central server. Presenter can control up to 16 unique message centers from one remote location. Each time digital signage advertisers change their message they save on printing costs and processing time. Retail - Display messages reach consumers at the point of sale and can be altered to meet the needs of specific locations and targeted demographics. Frequent price updates and sales specials can be displayed in specific departments as well as store-wide. Brand advertisers and retailers can target consumers directly with in-store displays in quick service restaurants, grocery stores, banks, department stores, and shopping malls. Transportation - Digital signage is penetrating train stations, airports and busses around the world, simplifying the travel experience. Arrival and departure times, as well as announcements and messages, can be sent to specific gate locations, and updated frequently as needed. Tourist information centers can display maps and directions with interactive kiosks. Car and airline reservation systems can target specific locations from a central server. Entertainment and Hospitality - Restaurants, hotels, casinos, cruise ships and resorts worldwide have implemented the convenience and simplicity of digital signage. Remote monitors can display motion and streaming videos, maintaining interest by constantly varying messages. Cinemas can display show previews and coming attractions to draw consumers’ attention. In-room casino gaming instructions can run in unique sections. Restaurants can display their menu specials on screen and program the server to change them at specific hours for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hotels can display schedules for business meetings, upcoming event venues, and room vacancies, updated for each location by the hour. Government - Manage single displays and multiple networks including municipal and public access television and emergency management from a single location. Emergency messages and alerts can be sent to government employees, military, and the general public. Secure content can be displayed in closed-circuit to specific remote clients, while general alerts, for example, emergency security messages or weather alerts can appear in public arenas. Business - Communicate with employees, partners and customers making certain critical messages are seen. Presenter applications for businesses include message displays in call centers, assembly floor, plant operations, human resources, employee bulletin boards, corporate TV, and cafeterias. In addition, each employee can work and run programs on unique stations that are connected and controlled by the central server. Individual monitors can run PowerPoint presentations, conduct searches, or check emails, all simultaneously and independently.

Dynamic Digital Signage, Video Wall Solutions, Data Wall Technologies, Multi-Screen Content Network

Digital signage is a dynamic digital display system used to deploy rich-media content in place of traditional static signs. Digital signage uses modern display devices to captivate and engage target audiences and consumers at their point of purchase. Research shows that 5 out of 10 viewers are more likely to pay attention to dynamic digital content than static content. In contrast to traditional print media, Applica's revolutionary digital signage technology allows the use of dynamic digital content such as full motion video, eye catching graphics, sound, and interactive media to deliver important messages to target audiences around the world. With Applica's digital signage network and video wall solutions, dynamic interactive content can be deployed to multiple independent remote stations at any time and in any location.

Applica's Digital Signage Solutions

Applica's SignagePro uses the IP network to remotely manage, control, and broadcast information to target audiences in specific locations. SignagePro is a unique combination of hardware and software solution that uses a single PC to drive and control multiple remote display devices, simultaneously and independently, from a central location. Each remote display unit is capable of running unique programs and applications, as though it was being operated by a separate computer. For example, one screen could be running a PowerPoint presentation, a second screen presenting a streaming video using the internet, and a third displaying the results of a database search, while all screens are concurrently exhibiting real-time news briefs and updates. SignagePro eliminates the need of costly acquisition and implementation of several systems by offering a comprehensive digital signage package.

How Does Digital Signage Work?

To deliver the most efficient and cost effective solution on the digital signage market, SignagePro incorporates and provides the necessary hardware and software package. Applica software utilizes the unused processing power of standard PCs and distributes it among multiple stations. The Applica software integrates itself with the Windows operating system using patented technology and extends the standard Windows multi-user capabilities to support numerous sets of remote display devices. Each remote station can be controlled and managed by the centralized server (the main host PC) to display a diverse range of content and different applications simultaneously and independently, anywhere in the world! Through the system software that resides on the host PC, multiple virtual sessions are created, each associated with a remote client. Input for the session is read from the SignagePro software; output is written directly to its remote client.

As in any computing architecture, there are both hardware and software components involved to deliver this advanced functionality. A vital element of the SignagePro solution is the ability to transmit a true graphical signal directly to the remote display device. By extending the VGA signal, as opposed to packeting the video with software and network protocols, the host PC is not burdened with CPU overhead and the responsiveness of the remote display unit is as fast as a standalone PC system.

Each remote station can operate completely independent of the other stations. This allows the central server to customize digital messages in different locations based on demographics, preference, and timing. Because the system operates as a networked configuration, all display stations have their own, unique, network identities and can share the physical network adapter/connection.
