InfoComm13: BrightSign partners with Philips for digital signage
June 11, 2013
Digital signage media player provider BrightSign LLC has announced that MMD, the name behind Philips Signage Solutions and Philips Monitors worldwide, has chosen BrightSign as a core solution provider of digital signage controllers to power multiscreen applications such as video walls, digital menu boards and other projects that require synchronization across multiple screens.
The companies have chosen this week's InfoComm 2013 in Orlando, Fla., as the venue to formally announce their partnership, and to educate show attendees about the latest techniques to deploy eye-catching, multiscreen digital signage applications in virtually any setting.
"Simple video walls of just a few years ago have given way to a new wave of multiscreen applications that simply weren't technically feasible until recently," said Jeff Hastings, BrightSign's CEO, in the announcement. "Philips signage displays can be tiled together in any configuration — at zero, 45 or 90 degrees — creating near-limitless possibilities for creative installations that engage and attract patrons in restaurants, offices, museums and other public settings."
Both BrightSign and Philips Signage Solutions will host educational workshops in their respective booths on Wednesday, June 12 through Friday, June 14. At 1:30pm each day, Philips Signage Solutions will host BrightSign workshops in its booth to educate attendees about the many multiscreen applications made possible with the combination of the company's new Philips VL Series commercial-grade LED displays and BrightSign's new XD digital signage players (register at http://philipsbrightsignworkshop.eventbrite.com/).
BrightSign will conclude each of these workshops by giving away a BrightSign XD230 digital signage player to a randomly chosen workshop attendee. Additionally, for those InfoComm attendees who want to dive into exactly how it's done, BrightSign said it will explain the simple steps for creating multiscreen presentations using BrightSign's digital signage players and its BrightAuthor software in their daily workshops at 11am and 3pm at its booth (register at http://brightauthorworkshop.eventbrite.com/).
"BrightSign's players are the perfect engine to drive our new Philips VL displays," said Craig Rathbun, managing director at MMD, the name behind Philips Signage Solutions worldwide. "The BrightSign XD players are highly capable and can pass-through whatever full-HD content we send their way. In addition, the company's BrightAuthor software supports portrait, landscape and even 45-degree orientation, allowing us to mount our displays in striking configurations for added visual impact."
Philips Signage Solutions will display a video wall in its booth at InfoComm 2013 featuring its newly announced Philips VL displays powered by BrightSign's XD digital signage players.
