New York's Dallas BBQ gets taste of Noventri digital signage

January 4, 2011

Noventri recently announced that Dallas BBQ, a New York-based restaurant, is now using a Noventri digital-signage solution provided by Clareo Networks for digital messaging to its customers.

Using the Noventri Eco-Series SF-100e digital-signage player technology, Clareo Networks, a New York AV-systems provider, powered vertical screens throughout the Rego Park restaurant. The screens provide a platform for customer entertainment, marketing and promotional messages.

Originally, the restaurant planned 12 displays (six horizontal and six vertical) and had engaged another digital-signage vendor to power those displays. Clareo Networks soon found that the original provider could not support vertical displays. Additionally, Clareo Networks was to provide an end-to-end HDMI video-distribution system for HD video and had to be HDCP compliant for the foreseeable future. This required adding a solution with an HDMI/DVI output. Having been familiar with Noventri digital signage solutions, Clareo Networks recognized a perfect fit — one that met the requirements and needs of the restaurant, according to Noventri.

Existing digital-signage content was reformatted for vertical or portrait orientation and given to Clareo Networks. Then, using the Noventri Suite and Noventri Server software, Clareo Networks compiled a playlist using various transitions available within the software.

"This was an easy task using the free Noventri software," said Dough Asher, Clareo Networks director of sales and marketing. "This was the first time I used the Noventri system. It worked perfectly. I would definitely use it again and recommend it to other clients. Dallas BBQ has already requested a second purchase."
