Inside a Digital Signage Software Company

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. 

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:
