New digital signage software, media player package launched

July 5, 2016

Software and hardware developer VXL has launched its new digital signage solution, Illunineye DS Suite, according to a company press release.

Illumineye is a software and media-player package designed to make digital signage more affordable.

"We believe that the potential [digital signage] market size could actually be far larger if the technology was opened up to a wider customer demographic. That's what we aim to do with Illumineye DS Suite," said Frank Noon, vice president of worldwide sales for VXL.

Illumineye is a combination of a Windows-based software suite — Illumineye DS Suite — and dedicated media player — the Illumineye IQ-L Player. Both are sold as a bundle.

"Our software and media player stands — in terms of features — at least shoulder-to-shoulder with leading solutions," Noon said. "But we want to create a 'desktop publishing revolution' in digital signage, where organizations of any size can access the kind of power previously only available to professionals. It's a complete package — customers just add their own display."

Digital campaigns can be created using the Illumineye software, incorporating text, images, tickers, video and audio. Campaigns can also be interactive, as Illumineye supports touchscreen displays.

The Illumineye IQ-L Player contains a high-performance Intel processor. It can be mounted on the rear of most screens using the inclusive VESA bracket, the release stated.

"We've built Illumineye DS Suite so that it can be used by everyone, not just design professionals," Noon said. "It's ideal for organizations of any size – from one person upwards, as Illumineye's software can manage and schedule content on any number of displays."

The complete Illumineye package has a recommended retail price of $399 for single units, with discounts available for larger volumes.
