IAdea powering digital signage for Int'l Flora Expo

October 27, 2010

IAdea announced today that its newly-introduced XMP-320 Full-HD open-API digital signage media appliance has won the selection process to power nearly 100 screens and projectors throughout the 2010-11 International Flora Expo. Tens of millions of international and local visitors are expected to attend this event focusing on advances in horticulture and green lifestyle, according to the announcement.

The Flora Expo is a global event authorized by the Association Internationale des Producteurs de l'Horticulture, founded in Switzerland and currently consisting of 26 active member countries. The 2010-11 event is scheduled to be held in Taipei, Taiwan, from Nov. 6, 2010, to April 25, 2011. The exhibition space spans nearly the size of 126 soccer fields and hosts 14 gigantic pavilions.

The first installations of IAdea media appliances are located within the award-winning green building Pavilion of Angel Life, which houses six exhibition zones: Fantasyland, Wisdom Center, Multimedia Theater, Fine Products, Spiritual Arts Center and the "Make a Wish" Garden. In collaboration with local systems integrator Sheng-teng Co. Ltd., IAdea's technology plays a critical role in delivering extremely high quality audio-video signal behind the artistically choreographed multimedia experience.

The video system powering the pavilion integrates professional equipment from IAdea, AMX, Kramer, Pioneer and Tacsam. The compact palm-size form factor of IAdea devices allows the system comprised of more than 100 individual devices to fit in two rack shelves and run cool with high energy efficiency. The built-in VESA mount on IAdea devices enables the integrator to conveniently fix the media appliances near the projectors and screens to reduce cabling and cost.
