Screenfeed updates digital signage content daily with hi-res images

February 9, 2009

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Screenfeed, a provider of daily content for digital signage, has launched its "News in Pictures" channels, which combine high-definition photographs with the top news stories of the day, each and every day.

The photo channels provide signage operators with a constant stream of fresh, visually stunning news content — without the bandwidth costs of video. Channels include U.S. News, Sports, Entertainment, and Weather.

"We want to make it incredibly easy for our customers to display our content on their screens," said Screenfeed's director of technology, John Sheehan. "For most of our customers, it's as simple as scheduling a single file to a zone."   To aid in seamless use by end users, Screenfeed is working with several digital signage software companies to integrate Screenfeed channels directly into their software and is looking to forge more relationships with software partners.

Content channels are available for a monthly subscription fee based on the number of media players. As part of a strategy to support smaller networks and individual businesses integrating digital signs, subscriptions are offered to customers with one screen or thousands with no minimum.
