AdVu Advertising Networks has installed the first of what it says will be many AdVu Players at the local Holiday Inn Express in Wesley Chapel, Fla. The screen content is being created using the Acquire Premier Editor Suite from Working Solutions.
The software also handles content deployment, content management, proof-of-playout reports for advertisers, and security and remote monitoring functions. The player PC runs the Acquire Player software and security Sentinel and shows a local business directory and full-screen advertisements.
The display unit is a 40-inch Samsung touchscreen monitor, so users can interact with the screen in the same way as they would an interactive kiosk. AdVu have also partnered with ScreenFeed to stream additional news and weather feeds.
"Advertisers can choose whether just to be in the business directory or have a directory listing and display a full-screen advertisement," said Douglas Oglesby of AdVu in the announcment. "We have been using Acquire for two years now, and I have to say that the extent of its features and its ease of use are second to none".
