Digital View introduces secondary messaging function

June 28, 2007

LONDON — Digital View announced the availability of a media player that can output the name of the file being played as a text string, thus creating a simple and inexpensive way of linking messages and triggering signage "cascades."

Digital signage users increasingly see a need to create secondary signage — i.e. messages linked to the media file being played on the main in-store system. Until now, however, the technique has been beyond the capability of digital signage systems which are not PC-based — which is most of them.

The development is an evolution of Digital View's Viewstream-200 and board-level M3-200 media players. This latest enhancement of the products allows the name of the file being played to trigger the display of a related message — making the implementation of secondary signage easy and inexpensive.
