BrightSign digital signage players bundled with cloud-based video publishing service

February 7, 2012

BrightSign recently announced that its network-enabled HD210 digital signage players are being deployed by Wovenmedia to deliver its place-based media service in retail and health care locations across the U.S.

Wovenmedia's cloud-based service allows businesses to create and deliver their own video channels to private network screens, websites and mobile devices, and combining the Wovenmedia Video Service with BrightSign players allows companies to deploy digital signage screens in their locations to inform and entertain consumers while they wait for service, promote products at the point-of-purchase, and enhance internal corporate communications.

Using the Wovenmedia service, businesses can blend their own promotional content with live broadcasts, social media streams and licensed content from Wovenmedia's growing list of content partners, including NBC Universal, Access Hollywood, PBS, Fox Sports, PGA Tour, Big 10 Networks, CNET and Vme.

BrightSign's open technology platform made it easy for Wovenmedia to integrate its applications with BrightSign's players and Simple Networking service with minimal development effort, the companies said. This capability also makes it possible for Wovenmedia and other integrators to develop customer specific features and applications, and link them to BrightSign products quickly and cost-effectively.

"Clearly, Wovenmedia has filled the gap in providing businesses of all sizes with new levels of flexibility and control over their video messaging," said Jeff Hastings, BrightSign's CEO, in the announcement. "The applications for these capabilities range from retail to education and healthcare and more. We're very pleased to be a part of such a versatile solution."

"We chose BrightSign controllers because they help us keep the Wovenmedia service affordable while allowing us to deliver the highest levels of video quality and network reliability," said Susie Opare-Abetia, co-founder and CEO of Wovenmedia. "Support for live video, social media streaming and other great features makes this joint solution a great fit across multiple markets and applications."
