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.
In addition to digital signage support, the firmware update includes an enhancement to video playback support for iOS/macOS native mirroring. When mirroring video content from a YouTube app or Safari browser, the ScreenBeam receiver streams and plas the video directly instead of mirroring.
“We are always working on ways to better enhance the use of our ScreenBeam solutions for our customers,” the company says. “By adding this digital signage capability, they will be able to create more personalized, impactful meeting spaces for their employees and guests.”
