What is Digital Signage?Digital Signage solutions provide a reliable method for transmitting high quality digital and analog video content throughout private home theater installations as well as public gathering places. Digital Signage extension and media converter products will deliver important information over a one-to-one ratio or one-to-several through use of Cat5 cable or wireless means. Unique digital signage audio/video display solutions will provide customers with quality trouble-free images for all of their different environments.
Here are some examples of real-world scenarios where Digital Signage products simplify challenging audio visual installations.
Audio/Video Extension over Cat5 Cabling.
Simple Cat5 cabling provides an easy approach to extend Audio and Video signals across a room or common areas. Combining Cat5 cabling with A/V extension products creates an easy way to implement resourceful Digital Signage products into ordinary situations which are in need of a reliable solution.
The Minicom Cat5 AV Extender out-of-band solution is the easiest, most efficient way to extend multimedia and AV signals from one place to another. AV signal extension is completed by connecting a single shielded category 5 cable between a transmitter at the local end and a receiver box at the extended location. A one-to-one host-to-display extension ratio sends Audio and Video over Cat5 from any type of player or monitor device as long as the target player adheres to the required connection specifications - VGA (HD15) and 3.5mm audio jacks. No video player or computer hardware is required at remote end; all that's necessary is a miniature Cat5 receiver unit which terminates the Cat5 extension system.
Splitting and Extending Video Signals with one Product.
Digital Signage video distribution products not only split one signal to many, Cat5 Video Splitter devices will extend the target video monitors to remote locations using standard Cat5 cabling.
Minicom's reliable Cat5 Video Display System or VDS product line is a hardware driven system that has the ability to transmit hundreds of real-time remote video displays up to 1600x1200@75 Hz over standard Cat5 cabling. Improvements to the VDS include a new VDS remote dual screen remote option which provides simultaneous support for two video displays at the same extended location up to 360ft away from a single source.
Designed to help control the costs of digital signage installations, the VDS Remote Dual Screen enables users double the amount of monitors in the system and saves on Cat5 cable and installation costs. Similar to the VDS standard remote which only supports one extended screen, the dual unit can be connected to either a VDS Broadcaster or VDS Line Splitter. The dual remote option designates the VDS an ideal match for installations requiring two monitors or plasmas in one location.
Minicom's recent product enhancements to the growing Digital Signage category will provide users with two additional ways to help manage remote monitor and plasma displays. Dual-screen VDS support along with one-to-one AV Extension are ideal for providing unique ways to incorporate Cat5 cabling with Digital Signage multimedia content.
Digital Signage Converters for non-computer Based Systems.
Multimedia video scalers are considered in important key when displaying alternative video signals such as DVD players, VCR's and other devices on to standard computer LCD and CRT monitors. Multimedia video scalers will convert unconventional incoming video signals and properly transmit them to signals that are recognized by Digital Signage extension and splitter products.
The Minicom Multimedia Video Scaler will enable users to view television or video graphics on any standard computer monitor with a VGA input. Loading digital signage software on the target systems or remote monitors will not be needed. The Minicom Multimedia Video Scaler or MVS converts composite video and YC to computer based VGA/SVGA thereby allowing the broadcast of both video and audio from a video source like a TV, VCR, DVD or camcorder to any standard computer monitor and speakers.
Digital Signage applications enable the delivery of compelling digital content throughout all enterprise or small project installations. Designed to support diverse applications, A/V extension and video splitter solutions are clever choices for media extension applications. Whether Cat5 extension or wireless products are implemented, classrooms, churches, and data centers of all sizes will all benefit from Digital Signage media products.
42U's Vision is to inspire corporate responsibility in energy efficiency and be a leader in providing technology and vendor agnostic information, suggestions, and solutions for making data centers more energy efficient.
