We were "back stage" at Tech.Ed yesterday helping install our demo Embedded System at the Sydney Exhibition Centre.  Don Kerr (Pictured) is Strategy Manager for Embedded Computing at Microsoft Australia and was very nearly as excited (as you can see) as us to see High Definition digital signage running Windows XP embedded.


 

 

And it looks like they got their net connectivity issues sorted because as you can see from the image below, the device we installed there is up and running.  (The device at Tech.Ed is configured to connect to our lab here on the other side of the City.)


 

 

If hits on the website and google referrals are anything to go by, the system is generating some interest.  Which is nice.  More later.  A big thank you to Don and the folks at Microsoft for asking us along :)

We got a phone call a few weeks back from the folks at Microsoft, asking if we'd like to be a part of their embedded device showcase at Tech.Ed 2006.  We've been working with Advantech to create some cool "In a box" signage solutions.  You'll be able to find us at the Microsoft Embedded Platform stand where you you'll be able to see what our Digital Signage software can do with XP embedded!  We'll blog a little more on this closer to the time.

Here's our press release covering our two year deal with EYE Corp.  Australia's leading Digital Signage company.  CampaignManager will deliver one half billion full screen ads this year for EYE alone!

Ryarc enters into Digital Signage Software agreement with EYE Corp.


An EYE Prestige Digital Sign powered by Ryarc's CampaignManager software suite.

Ryarc Media Systems today announced the commencement of two year deal with leading Out-of-Home media operator, Eye, to provide the software component for Eye's expanding portfolio of digital media assets in airports and shopping centres across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Europe.

Ryarc's digital signage software, called CampaignManager, will power Eye's expanding international network of Eye's digital media screens in a deal announced this week in Sydney.

Fergal Ó Ceallaigh, founder and CEO of media software specialists, Ryarc said, "Eye needed a solution that was not only reliable and manageable, but also one of sizeable scale.  It needed to keep pace with EYE's rapid expansion plans.  Campaign Manager allows EYE to easily manage hundreds of sites across multiple time zones and continents from a single desktop."

Eye Group Manager - Design and Innovation, Stephen Rubie commented: "We were impressed with the system's efficiency and reliability. Ryarc's software consumed less than one fifth of the processing power of our previous solution.  This is crucial, because stressed PCs are prone to heat and hardware failures.  In Digital Signage, these can be very expensive."

 


Ryarc's CampaignManager ensures that software does not become the limiting factor in EYE's international plans, which now uses CampaignManager to deliver digital signage content to over 180 million passengers, CBD workers and shoppers annually in offices, airports, and shopping centres around the world. 

Ryarc's CampaignManager is capable of handling all modern formats including HD video, Live RSS feeds and even digital HDTV. One of the key benefits of CampaignManager is its ability to seamlessly support EYE’s products as they evolve over time.

"In the coming year, CampaignManager will help EYE to deliver over 500 million full screen high definition advertisements.  Ryarc's advanced digital signage technology proves that you don't need expensive satellite or "broadband everywhere" installations to deliver high quality content world wide with reliability and ease." added Mr. Ó Ceallaigh.

Digital Signage continues its rapid uptake becoming the most effective method of transmitting a dynamic and engaging message to viewers that are becoming increasingly difficult to reach with traditional methods. With advertising spend on digital products predicted to enjoy considerable growth in the coming years, Ryarc is helping companies make the transition to digital in a highly cost effective manner.
