Digital signage firm Noventri has announced what it is calling a "PowerPoint-frienddly" upgrade to its Noventri Suite of digital signage software. Version 2.4 of Noventri Suite delivers PowerPoint import functionality, image drop folder capability, enhanced user experience and various bug fixes, the company said.
According to Noventri, PowerPoint compatibility means that users can import an existing PowerPoint project as part of their digital signage content by simply loading PowerPoint files to Noventri Suite.
"We had three objectives while producing Version 2.4 of Noventri Suite," said Noventri VP Andrew Hoffman in the announcement. "First, we want the user experience to be simple and easy. Second, we didn't want those that are coming from a PowerPoint workflow to start from scratch. Third, using Noventri digital signage should be fun. I think those objectives have been met."
Noventri Suite can be installed on any modern Windows-based computer and is the companion software to the Noventri Eco-Series SF-100e digital signage player. Users can create content in resolutions up to 1920 by 1200, add multiple region types, and overlap other regions with full transparencies while using industry standard image formats such as .jpg, .png and .bmp.
Noventri Suite functions as a stand-alone simple digital signage player; although, some features, such as scheduling, transitions and database features are functions that are performed when combined with the Eco-Series line of Noventri players. Noventri Suite is a no-cost digital signage software; there are no licenses, no subscriptions, and no hidden costs of any kind, the company said.
