Userful Corp., a provider of centralized display software, and Net Display Systems, a provider of high-end digital signage software, have integrated their solutions to create a versatile and smart digital signage software platform, the companies announced today.

Customers can now deploy Net Display Systems' PADS4 with Userful to display a broad range of centrally-managed content onto video walls or individual displays to create digital signage solutions, the companies said.

Userful Network Video Wall software turns a standard PC into a browser-managed video wall controller that can output multiple content sources to multiple video walls of up to 25 displays using 4K and larger content. The additional support for PADS4 expands the solution to deploy pre-timed data, such as presentations, onto video walls at any resolution needed, according to the announcement.

"The need for high-quality digital signage is growing rapidly. The Userful appliance sits between your content sources and your displays, making it easy and cost effective to deploy multi-screen networks. We provide customers with the flexibility and power to deploy what they want, where they want it," said Tim Griffin, CTO of Userful, in the announcement. "Net Display Systems is a great fit for our software platform as it provides a wide variety of options for customers to support valuable content. We are excited to be bringing this new option to digital signage customers."

The Net Display Systems PADS HTML5 Viewer supports content from RSS feeds, media files, social media and other linked data sources all in real-time. The Userful Video Wall paired with Net Display Systems is designed to make it easy to engage with audiences and to be easily incorporated into any business' existing infrastructure. It's aimed at a variety of markets including corporate communications, retail, health care, education and hospitality, among others, the companies said.

"At Net Display Systems we focus on developing the best possible software for any digital signage platform," said Arthur Damen, CMO of Net Display Systems. "We are very happy to see that the Userful solutions take away the complexity of video walls, while offering nearly endless possibilities. This makes the combination extremely interesting for many parties."
