Capital Networks' Audience software powers outdoor digital signage in Winnipeg

October 21, 2009

Creswin Properties Inc. is using Capital Networks' Audience software to run its massive outdoor digital signage display in the core of Winnipeg's business district.

The 35-foot by 13-foot, high-resolution LED screen is located in the plaza of Canwest Place at the historic intersection of Portage and Main and is viewed by more than 500,000 people every week.

With 10-millimeter pixels, the 470-square-foot board is the largest Canadian digital signage screen west of Toronto.

Advance Pro, based in Winnipeg, provided the Audience software platform responsible for the creation and scheduling of the screen's content, which includes paid advertising and community programming as well as automated news, weather and sports information.

In addition to advertising, the screen displays images and video of local events and has become an outdoor, public gathering place for the broadcast of live events.
