Digital Signage

Sign of the Times

The savvy early adopters of Digital Signage and digital signage integrators are already seeing the benefits of how this medium can impact audiences. We already know that broadcasting looped video/animated images via digital billboards/signage is a highly effective method of attracting viewers. So how can you top that? By adding live streaming video content to your digital messaging.

Providing real-time information on topics such as weather, traffic, financials or late-breaking news, adds a more compelling component to an already eye-catching visual medium. The in-motion element catches your audience's eye, but the live, news-worthy information holds their attention. What better way for an enterprise or government body to effectively deliver crucial communications?

To ensure success in the digital signage industry, all signs point to ViewCast, a leader in streaming technology since its inception. The ViewCast Niagara® Pro II, Niagara 2100, and Niagara GoStream SURF give you the superior performance and flexibility to take full advantage of current and future opportunities presented by streaming to digital signage.

The Niagara Pro II captures, encodes, streams and archives professional grade digital video and audio. It provides simultaneous streaming in multiple resolutions at multiple data rates in multiple streaming formats, including Windows Media, Adobe® Flash® and 3GPP mobile formats.

The new Niagara GoStream SURF gives you mobility. It's the most powerful portable streaming appliance available. It offers simultaneous Internet and mobile streaming in multiple resolutions, multiple formats and at multiple bit rates. All in a small, light, yet extremely durable self-contained unit.
