Start with a firm foundation: Avnet, DST hosting webinar on digital signage O/S

May 25, 2011

Next Tuesday, Avnet Technology Solutions and Digital Signage Today are hosting a webinar on choosing the right operating system or platform for both your current and future digital signage needs.

When choosing a platform to power your digital signs, managers may be pressured to cut costs by choosing a processor or media player that suits only their basic current needs. However, choosing to minimize costs today could lead to higher future costs, as new content and features may require an upgrade or complete replacement of your current platform, resulting in a higher total cost of ownership.

Join experts from Avnet and Intel Corp. as they talk about picking the right platform to power your content today and into the future. The webinar will cover requirements for everything from low-end applications with static images all the way up to high-end deployments with streaming high-def video and anonymous analytics — as well as everything in between. The discussion will also include a high-level overview of platforms based on market, as well as a look at typical applications such as digital menu boards, retail, POS and advertising.

The webinar speakers will be Avnet's Gina Tammo and Intel's Ravi Sirigineedi, and the event will conclude with a four-person Q&A panel at the end, featuring Tammo and Sirigineedi along with Avnet's Business Development Manager Sheldon Downey and Popstar Networks Technical Sales Manager Dane Oldridge.
