Hiperwall adds animation to its digital signage content software

May 18, 2012

Hiperwall Inc., a provider of high performance video walls and distributed visualization systems, has announced Hiperwall version 3.0, which the company said "reduces the cost and development time in creating most digital signage content by eliminating the need to do time consuming rendering in advance."

Hiperwall 3.0's animation capabilities is a significant extension to the Hiperwall 2.0 platform, the company said. Hiperwall 3.0 provides the ability to animate content elements, bringing to life content which might otherwise be static and therefore less engaging. With the new animation editor, users can control when each element enters, where it is displayed, how it is sized, colored and rotated, and how special effects like transparency, mosaic and black/white filters are applied. Once the animation sequences are created, users can add, remove or make changes to content elements as well as modify the timing of the animation sequences, introduce new elements or make a variety of other changes. Hiperwall 3.0 renders each content element as an individual object in real time, eliminating the traditional rendering process and reducing development time and expense.

"These industry-first capabilitie s give users the ability to create dynamic digital signage content with never before seen simplicity and speed," said Hiperwall CEO Jeff Greenberg. "The addition of the new animation capabilities eliminates the cost and time delay of the traditional approach of rendering everything in advance into frequently used video formats. Since each object remains as an individual content element we give the user the ability to recombine and reuse the content elements without the need to re-render."
