Remote centralized management and Proof of Performance reduce operational costs and TCO

Minicom Digital Signage (MDS), the leader in media infrastructure solutions for the Digital Signage (DS) marketplace, will demonstrate the first Remote Device Management (RDM) solution with Proof of Performance capabilities at Screen Media Expo 2010 (booth D5). The show will be taking place in London (UK), on May 5-6, 2010.

The proprietary RDM technology enables reliable remote monitoring and control of display assets of any DS and DooH network, and marks the conceptualization of managed displays. The solution features a unique Media Feedback Mechanism (MFM) for Proof of Performance (POP) so advertisers in DooH networks can validate and audit advertising to ensure both the quantity and quality of the broadcasted ad.

With the management capabilities offered by the RDM, operators can reduce system downtime and improve visibility while reducing operational costs and increasing return on investment. The technology enables automatic triggering of support call when necessary, so network operators can intervene quickly and efficiently to reduce operational expenses and thereby total cost of ownership.

Ronni Guggenheim, CEO Minicom Digital Signage: “The world of Digital Signage is expanding rapidly with millions of displays from different vendors deployed globally. The interest of media operators is to extract the maximum value from their business-critical media infrastructure, 24/7. This creates a natural trend towards remote central management of media-space display assets, which will be a crucial capability. Our RDM technology provides an essential building block helping the market mature.”

Minicom Digital Signage RDM technology provides:

· Easier management with consistent monitoring and control of all display assets

· Increased reliability with actual media sampling

· Increased robustness with objective means of monitoring and control

“When working with a video that is slim in duration, as most content for Digital Signage is and should be, keep this in mind: it’s better to keep it as short and sweet as possible (only hitting the high points).  The more detailed the content is, the more difficult it is for the viewer to read, hear, and process what they are seeing on the screen.  Even if you are hoping that viewers will get the idea through repetition over multiple viewings, the content should still be economical in the sense that it conveys only the necessary amount of information.  Simplicity is key in digital signage.  In fact, most digital signage only attempts to get across one strong idea and then brings it home with a call to action.  If the content is something you will be using to present to potential clients in a setting other than digital signage, than we have some more leeway.”

Published: March 24th, 2010

Minicom Advanced Systems, a developer of remote access, KVM, and digital signage solutions, today announced that it would spinout its digital signage division (“MDS”). The new company simultaneously announced that it had raised $6 million to finance its operations independently. The investment, which was led by Jerusalem Venture Partners and joined by Aviv Ventures, will enable the company to broaden its platform from its new offices in Jerusalem’s JVP Media Quarter.

MDS is a leading vendor of media distribution solutions for the Digital Signage and Digital out of Home (DooH) marketplace. According to MDS’ CEO, Ronni Guggenheim, “This investment is the natural next step in MDS’ lifecycle.

But, when we take a peek of the booths while they were “under construction”…

and compare “before”

and “after” pictures…

We understand that miracles are possible! Just like in any fairytale…

The DSET was organized under the OVAB Europe’ umbrella, and was, as invidis reports, such a success, that many interested parties didn’t participate in the tour – since it was fully booked!

Thanks to Oliver and Florian from invidis, and to Emmanuel Canizares, who was guiding the tours – for all those that missed it – DSET’s ISE guidebook can be found here.

Lots of traffic in the blogger lounge. It was an excellent combination having both the DailyDOOH blogger lounge, OVAB and the ISE Digital Signage Showcase in the same complex. It attracted all together very distinct, highly focused DS traffic.

No doubts we will look for ways to repeat and further improve this winning presence next year!

Many things are happening on this year’s ISE. Three main adjectives are crossing my mind, while thinking about this event – educational, high-level and fun.

Educational because of the “excellent on-floor education opportunity: OVAB DS EXPERT TOURS.” OVAB Europe is organizing the successful DS Expert tours, taking groups alongside the food chain of a signage application through the show floor. Register here to participate for free:
http://ovab.eu/integrated-systems-2010-%E2%80%93-ovab-europe-expert-tours/

High-Level because of the DS Showcase (Hall 10/10M118), which will show the DS ecosystem with participants such as Intel, Harris, NEC, Minicom Digital Signage, EyeClick, Bell Micro and Alioscopy. You can register for meetings under this link:
http://www.minicomdigitalsignage.com/events/ise10.cfm

Fun because of the Bloggers Lounge, where free wi-fi, coffee, tea & water are offered.

Sure, it won’t go unattended from our side. We’ll have a full coverage of the main highlights, and even a LIVE twitter from the most interesting spots. So, stay tuned and be informed!

A good example, I think, where they would have done a good job is using audio for the giant screen at Victoria Railway station, London. It is a giant hall with a giant screen and I tried to have a look at the people in the hall. And guess what, nearly nobody was looking at the screen. Expensive commercials came along. Nobody noticed them, as far as I could see. Think it is a good idea to pause the programming with some really cool content and then show the commercials (with audio).

Watch a little clip of the screen and also look at the clip below where you can see no one was watching. It is a pity for such a great location.

Beneath it I found a banking office. Just before security asked me to stop filming with my HTC I shot this little clip. That’a a nice way of using content!

And this guy, don’t know how he felt that day. Also rather cold I presume.

Beneath a couple of brilliant examples of traditional, non digital, signage to make something clear to the audience. Examples of professional agencies but also of non-professionals. Again, it is all about creativity.

The white line says: ‘Durex wishes you a great evening.’

Another institution that always includes digital signage in their events are United Nations. At their latest conference, taking place from December 7th to 18th in Copenhagen, Denmark, with the theme that occupies the attention of wide international public – Climate Change – UN chose Bella Center to be the congress center which will host the event.

As every other big event in UN organization, this one is having many simultaneous sessions/panels, on different subjects under the umbrella of the general theme. And these sessions are taking place in different conference rooms at Bella Center.

We can agree or not that this conference will be a significant step for the future of the Earth and mankind, but we can definitely agree that UN know how to give a modern, contemporary look to their events. Thumbs up for the organizer!

The latest noted trend on the Zurich clubbing scene is introduction of new media into the customizable, usually limited club space.

If we take Moods, the first address for jazz events in Zurich, as one of the examples for the trend, we can notice that the new well placed displays, just between the bar and adaptable podium and stage are gaining huge attention of the audience. They are running the ads of sponsors and information about the program of the night or announcement for the future planned events.

But, two new displays in this avant-garde place is not the only novelty. Projector with the screen is being placed right on the stage, which allows the organizer to switch from e.g. displaying movies to full music stage within couple minutes (see two pictures above).

It is really good to see how the club owners respond to the latest trends, and the way their business feeling leads them to give their clubs this up-to-date look and feel with digital signage (pictures origin: Goran Potkonjak).

I know, there are more possibilities. Let people edit their own clips or impressions at home on their own laptop. After an editor censored it the content always can be broadcasted in a safe way. But this is expensive and a time raising effort.

But what are the benefits of UGC? During a concert, a soccer game or on a large screens as just have been placed in London UGC may work. It even might be fun. But, always involve your advertisers if you decide to do it.
In my opinion UGC gives you, as a network owner, more headache than profit. I am not convinced at all. And please let’s be careful. At last companies are learning and accepting to book more money for content. So why should we take a risk to integrate UGC if the benefits are not clear at the moment. Perhaps I am wrong. Would be nice if someone could convince me…

Okay, one last note; I wrote about it before, lately a UGC concept was given birth at bus.top. Think this kind of UGC could make sense. But then again, I hope they can control the guys who wants to upload abusive content.

Yes, we are talking about the draw for football World Cup, that will for the first time take place on the African continent. The ceremony was held yesterday, in Cape Town, and we were once again impressed by the way that FIFA uses contemporary technology at their high-profile events.

This time, on the 4.600 square meters stage, they managed to install huge screens, which showed live the draw results, run different content (artist videos, Nelson Mandela’s speech etc)

It wasn’t only the stage that was digitilized for the occasion. The hall was as well…

…just like a space in front of the Cape Town congress centre, where all the fans without VIP tickets had a chance to take a look of the draw festival live (the pictures are taken from fifa.com).

Yet another example of not even analog, but non-digital stage. At Friday night, here in Switzerland, just before the snow, we had a pleasure of listening to one of the Royalties – Julian Marley.

Music was great, atmosphere as well, but the stage was so disappointing. It was completely display-free zone. The only sign/scenography was the big designed drape with the name of the artist, his band, and their latest published CD.Is it the way to go in 21. century? 

The space, KiFF in Aarau, where the event took place was definitely prepared for digitalizing. See some of the examples of previous events at the same place (pictures taken from kiff.ch).

The biggest mistake people make in our business is stepping into digital signage because they are afraid to miss the trend. That is the most foolish decision one can make. Our first question to a potential new customer always is ‘why?’. Why do you need a digital signage system or screen? What are your objectives with it? If they can’t answer this question properly we try to help them. If we keep on failing answering the question we always advice them not to place screens. It will save them a lot of money and it will save us a lot of headaches.

Here two examples of restaurants where they didn’t place screens because the atmosphere doesn’t need it. Upper picture is a beach restaurant in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. Lower is a great Italian restaurant in Hamburg, Germany. Excellent choice (for not placing the screens!)

And here a screen placed in a window. I pass this screen regularly. The light changes a lot, and the reflection makes the visibility of the screen more or less very poor. I think this really is a waste of money. I am sure in this case no one ever really dared to ask themselves ‘WHY?’.

In the article published in magazine DNA India, one can find out what the industry leaders in India plan in the next period and which vertical markets will bring their business back from nosedive in last year and even promise this amazing growth in the next year.

Another good resource of information for Indian digital signage market is the article published in Indiantelevision portal. All the  pundits gave their opinion on the main topics of the industry. My attention draw the statement that “at present, DS is more of a visual than an audio-visual medium” such as television.
