June 15, 2009

MANCHESTER, U.K. — Saturn Communications Group is combining Connectvision digital signage software with its leading edge, screensaver technology to deliver what it calls "Digital Signage 2.0." Deploying organizations are able to complement their digital signage with desktop screensaver content that users can interact with. The Connectvision Screensaver harnesses the latent potential of existing desktop PCs and monitors, through targeted and scheduled screensavers, providing a powerful and inexpensive desktop communication channel. With the latest screensaver technology development, users can now play the screensaver and interact with it, including accessing links to intranet and Internet content, movie, Flash and PDF files. It allows dynamic, rich multimedia content to be targeted to individual groups of PCs to inform, educate and engage with many potential audiences at different times during each day. Whenever any PC goes into screensaver mode, the latest centrally controlled multimedia messages are displayed as a customized dynamic looping sequence. The degree to which users interact with the screensaver can be tracked centrally, allowing the communications channel to be used for e-learning and continuous professional development.
