Digital signage content and content management company Visix Inc. has released its new AxisTV Conference application as part of AxisTV v.8.5.1 — the latest version of its flagship digital signage software. AxisTV Conference broadens AxisTV's event data integration capabilities while adding support for additional event management systems and MeetingMinder meeting room signs.

"This is the second application we've created with our agile approach to modular software design," Visix president and CEO Sean Matthews said in the announcement. "AxisTV Design premiered at InfoComm earlier this year, and AxisTV Conference adds even more functionality and improved user experience to our digital signage offering. Conference is the bridge our clients have been asking for to tie together disparate digital signage, event management and room sign systems."

The new application pulls together schedules from a variety of event management systems, including Microsoft Exchange and Office 365; Dean Evans & Associates EMS and Master Calendar; CollegeNet 25Live; Google Calendar; Newmarket Delphi; and more. It supports multiple event management systems — and multiple instances of those systems — in the same installation, so it can support all the systems across an organization, the company said.

Clients can install AxisTV Conference on any content manager or desktop running Windows 7 or higher, or Windows Server 2008 or higher. The configuration provides API-based integration for most event management systems.

Calendars can be displayed on any AxisTV endpoint, as well as Visix's EPS room signs that don't require a proprietary content management system. The company's 7-inch battery-operated electronic paper signs are updated wirelessly via RF communication and have a battery lifespan of at least three years or 10,000 updates.

With an interface modeled on familiar Microsoft Office tools, AxisTV Conference is part of Visix's new suite of applications that aim to provide more flexibility and easier content creation and management.

AxisTV Conference fully integrates with AxisTV Standard, Professional and Enterprise editions.
