Net Display Systems lands Seenspire for digital signage content partnership

November 13, 2013

Net Display Systems has selected Seenspire as its preferred partner for digital signage content, according to an announcement from NDS.

The new global partnership offers NDS PADS4 users a diverse range of real-time content feeds and access to custom creative solutions.

According to NDS, Seenspire offers a set of sophisticated motion content packages — including news, sports and entertainment headlines and location-specific weather — that run seamlessly on networks using NDS's PADS4 digital signage software.

Antwerp, Belgium-based Seenspire's content is already running on PADS4 software atEindhoven Airport in the Netherlands, the first deployment in what NDS said it expects will be a strong partnership.

"We are excited about this collaboration, as our partners at Seenspire know exactly how to add spark to digital signage messaging," NDS Business Partner Manager Peter de Jong said in the announcement. "Our PADS software was already well-known for displaying real-time information, and adding Seenspire's premium content services makes our communications capabilities even more appealing."

Seenspire's real-time content presents rights-cleared information from trusted sources on digital signage screens in ways that rival broadcast television, NDS said. Instead of tickers or static visuals with text overlays, Seenspire uses a variety of crisp, efficient 3D animations that build and change information on screens in ways that attract and hold viewer attention.

"NDS has been an amazing partner for us," Seenspire co-founder Samuel Mekonen said in the announcement. "They've been in the digital signage business for almost 20 years, and that really shows in the quality of work, and their quick follow-up to questions and the challenges that came up in this project."

PADS4 users can choose the visual design styles they like, and then load fully-scripted motion graphic files using that style on the NDS-built content management platforms. The files get automated information updates from Seenspire's cloud-based servers. Multiple languages are supported.

The partnership also gives NDS customers access to Seenspire's custom creative services — from tailored content feeds to original advertising, marketing and engaging messaging.

The first successful project jointly deployed by NDS and Seenspire is showcased in a video about the Eindhoven Airport digital signage solution below:
