Thanks for tuning in. Bit of news on the Digital Signage Software CampaignManager product road-map I'd like to share with you. We have been talking this year about our new version "3.0". This came as a surprise to some given that we are currently on rev 1.x. Well, the features talked about in 3.0 are all still intact and being worked on. However, we are going to do an intermediary release (2.0 no less) which will add some long requested features to the product. These will be:

  • Multiple Splits of the Window
  • Multiple Items per side pane
  • Double Tickers
  • Local Node Server (so one machine can act as a slave server for a bunch of locally connected players)
  • Security integration with Microsoft Windows Active Directory
  • Better Support for Audio
  • Support for DirectX 10 and new DirectX 10 Tickers

2.0 will ship within in the third quarter and 3.0 will ship in Q4. 

Feedback or ideas most welcome.

Santos Corporation recently completed a move to their new HQ which involved a multi million dollar audio visual install.  Santos required a cinema like experience in the lobby showcasing the company's values and history and a mix of smaller screens with touch screen capability achieved this using Panasonic's gigantic new 103" LCD TV.  The lobbies of the new building have been fitted out with smaller screens which are capable of displaying the same content which can be dismissed with a touch to access an interactive directory.  Ryarc's CampaignManager digital signage software was used to power all the displays.  Some pictures:

With 1.2 just around the corner I wanted to take some time to talk about Localisation and Internationalisation (No, nothing to do with Globalisation). 

Internationalisation (i18n)

We've gone to special lengths in this release to ensure that, regardless of the language you wish to use, our product will be 'locale sensitive'.  Stories of software not working on non-US platform Windows are all too familiar to the majority of us who do not speak English as their first language.  We've installed and tested 1.2 on Korean, Chinese,  Japanese, Norwegian, and Eastern European Windows.

Something that is particularly sensitive to locales is the dates.  The new ticker now contains code which will defer to the system on how to display the date.  You don't need a Japanese system to show the above.  By setting your Location in Control Panel, CampaignManager will automatically reflect the new locale and display the time and date in the appropriate manner.

Localisation (l10n)

1.2 will be available in English but we plan to release French, Japanese, Spanish, German, Chinese and Korean versions over 2006 dependent upon demand.  We'll keep you posted!

Well it took a little longer than we thought but we're approaching the final few hurdles.  With this post, just a proud picture of the end result.  Full screen high definition live television (Digital) and a custom ticker.  All 'smoooth as...' as they say in New Zealand :)
