Is your digital signage system DLNA certified?

DigitalSignageBlog — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 02:30:55 +0000

I was doing some research about the upcoming release of the HTC Desire HD – what an impressive little mobile phone!!!… anyways I was reading the technical specifications of the unit and came across the terminology DLNA i.e “Share videos, photos, or music from your phone to your TV via DLNA®” and I asked myself what the heck is DNLA? After a bit of research I found out that DNLA stands for Digital Living Network Alliance and it’s a non profit organisation with 245 member companies. All the major screen manufacturers are members of the DNLA and the goal of the organisation is to use a specific standard based technology to make it easier for consumers to use, share digital photos, music and videos. That’s when it hit me and I started thinking on how digital signage systems could easily fall into this category. Does anyone know of any Digital Signage system manufacturer that is DNLA certified? At advertise me, we are not a digital signage manufacturer but if we were, we would spend the time and money to become DLNA certified so that our digital signage system can be easily integrated with other DLNA certified devices like Panasonic screen or even other Digital Signage players.

Digital Signage Klip: Is your Digital Signage Test Bench as messy as ours?

DigitalSignageBlog — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 05:47:41 +0000

In the past couple of weeks we’ve been busy testing different digital signage systems and we were also involved in a digital signage installation. We have a test bench with a 37″ LCD screen which we primarily use to build and test our digital signage solutions. We were wondering whether other people’s test benches were as messy as ours.

Feel free to send us pictures of your test bench to info@digitalsignageblog.com and we’ll share it with the rest of the world.

Digital signage and the Australian National Broadband Network

DigitalSignageBlog — Mon, 25 May 2009 05:07:35 +0000

If you haven’t heard, in Australia the Federal Government is planning to spend 43 billion dollars to upgrade the Australian network infrastructure. What’s been interesting is the fact that the government did not award this project to any of the major Telcos – it will all be in house. Well this may potentially mean the infrastructure will not be monopolised by any of the Telcos. This is definitely a good thing for consumers.
Now if you’re a digital signage company you may be wondering how this may impact you. The first thing that popped into my mind was “more bandwidth…. means more bandwidth intensive applications can be used on the digital signage system”.

Here’s a list of things that popped into my mind when this was announced:

stream or cache high definition videos to the screens – this includes live TV, Foxtel, and even live events (Youtube has already introduced the Live Events program)
develop real time applications on the digital signage systems
shorter waiting times for content synchronisations
integrate the digital signage system with wireless hotspots
integrate with the upcoming digital radio services
develop interactive applications that require low latency and high bandwidth
real time monitoring of digital signage networks and quicker troubleshooting/response times

Seeing several opportunities, advertise me will hopefully launch several innovative solutions in the next couple of years so watch this space.

What innovative digital signage applications do you see taking advantage of high speed networks?

Feel free to submit your answer as a comment.
