The latest ScreenBeam 1100 firmware update (version 11.0.5.0) adds digital signage capabilities, allowing the device to stream signage content when the display is not being utlised.

The feature is disabled by default, and can be enabled using the management interface. The unit displays signage in either fullscreen or framed mode, and starts streaming per the idle time set by the administrator. Supported content formats include HTML5, WebGL, video Webm, video H264 and video MP4.

Visix releases version 1.23 of the AvixTV Signage Suite enterprise digital signage platform-- now with 5 new widgets, 64-bit OS support, enhanced workflows and improved interactive functionality.

Further additions include personal UI customisation options, heightened sort and filter intelligence, expanded organisational tools and security policies, and the ability to customise every visual property for the Vixi Touch room sign. All applications included in AvixTV are converted to 64-bit, allowing clients to show higher resolution video and more complex content. Version 1.23 also uses .NET Framework 4.8, meaning it includes the latest security and cryptographic standards available.

The release includes expanded hierarchy policies for user accounts and permissions, and security policy options such as password rules, intrusion rules and auto-logout settings. Admins can create user accounts through a copy function, either manually or using Active Directory workflows, and can also limited the message types assigned to individual users.

Peerless-AV launches the 2nd generation all-in-one kiosk-- the KIPICT2555-- powered by the BrightSign XT1144 expanded I/O player designed for indoor applications.

Ideal for hospitality, retail, corporate, transportation, entertainment, education and general-purpose applications, the updated kiosk delivers 1080p60 single video decoding, HTML support, networked content playback and an abundant set of features, including interactivity via GPIO port, remote snapshot, live text, media feeds and multi-zone.

NEC Display announces the UN552S and UN552VS, a pair of 55-inch additions to the UN series of displays featuring bezels of just 0.44mm surrounding an anti-glare, high-haze IPS panel designed for seamless multi-screen configurations.

Aimed at digital signage applications in retail, corporate and broadcast environments, the video wall panels feature commercial-grade features, including enhanced OSD colour control, easy content distribution and "superior" software capabilities. Each panel is factory calibrated for luminance, RGB, white point, uniformity and gamma, and customers can self-calibrate the displays by plugging in an external SpectraView sensor.

The panels also feature colour control via on-screen display (OSD) with luminance and colour gamut controls, as well as brightness, uniformity, hue, saturation and offset. An ongoing feedback loop (between the SpectraView Engine, physical panel, internal sensors and look up table settings) maintains a constant brightness for a longer period of time.
