Oceanside, CA (PRWEB) October 17, 2014

Ingage Solutions, a brand of Federal Heath Sign Company LLC, today announced its offering of ScreenScape Connect, a Plug and Play device and supporting software platform that turns any TV into a digital sign. This small/ultra-compact device dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of starting and operating a digital signage network, eliminating the need for media players and cabling. The Dell Wyse Cloud Connect device is the first hardware solution certified for use with ScreenScape Connect, and is included with an extended ScreenScape Connect subscription.

Branded content can be updated by WiFi and managed remotely using ScreenScape Connect, a cloud-based content management platform. Connecting a screen to the digital signage network is as easy as plugging the device into the TV’s HDMI port. ScreenScape Connect is a flexible solution that gives business owners the ability to easily monitor and manage their network. Federal Heath is able to offer this product to its customers through its Ingage Solutions brand, due to its strong existing relationship with ScreenScape Networks.

Federal Heath President & CEO Kevin Stotmeister said this significantly enhanced product offering is a result of the strong partnership with Screenscape and their equally strong partnership with Dell. “HD TVs are being used extensively in every aspect of business today, and ScreenScape Connect allows restaurants, retail stores, lobbies, waiting rooms, etc., in any business or industry to use their existing screens to engage more efficiently with their customers.”

BEASD Turns to StrandVision Digital Signage for School Communications

Bellefonte, PA (Vocus) August 18, 2010

StrandVision LLC today announced that Bald Eagle Area School District (BEASD) has selected StrandVision Digital Signage for student and community communications at its middle-high school that serves 12 northern Centre County, Pennsylvania communities.

The signage carries several school communication messages, including student notices and after-school activities/bus schedules, sports notices and results, awards and recognition, event promotions and recaps. It also serves as a bulletin board for the public in support of the many community meetings that take place at the school complex. The same digital signage network of large (60”) screens is used to display streaming video feeds from the gymnasium to the cafeteria to accommodate overflow audiences at community events.

The digital signage, which is updated daily by school staff, takes advantage of StrandVision’s Internet-based digital signage delivery system. StrandVision provides digital signage page templates, split screens, crawling text and the ability to post pictures, text and graphics at any time. It also offers automatically updated local weather and news. The BEASD displays are all located in the middle-high school building complex, but, using StrandVision’s Internet distribution, can easily be extended to each of the buildings in the District.

Commented Bill Corkill, BEASD instructional technology specialist and activities director, “We first looked at doing our own signage. But the StrandVision price point was so good that we decided to use the service that they offered. It’s made it easy for us to update the signage right from our computers and rely on StrandVision to automatically update the displays.”

“BEASD is making good use of the StrandVision system by extending it beyond the student marketing during the school day to meet its particular needs and reach the general community,” said Mike Strand, StrandVision founder and CEO. “They’ve taken advantage of the system’s flexibility to get the greatest return. BEASD had well-defined objectives that they translated into an effective system that supports its educational and community missions.”

Audio Spotlight’s Sound Beam Turns Heads At The Smithsonian Future Is Here Festival in Washington, D.C.

Watertown, MA (PRWEB) June 13, 2014

Holosonics‘ Audio Spotlight speakers sound like the stuff of science fiction: they produce a narrow beam of sound with the same precision as a flashlight. At any point inside the beam sound is clear and present, literally surrounding the listener’s head, while just a single step or two outside the narrow coverage area sonic bleed is nearly inaudible. Harnessing the miniature wavelengths of an ultrasonic carrier, and relying on entirely different physics than traditional loudspeakers, Holosonics’ Audio Spotlight system is literally capable of providing sound where you want it, and preserving the quiet where you don’t.™

The Audio Spotlight technology was a perfect fit for the spirit of The Smithsonian’s Future Is Here Festival, an annual celebration and exploration of science, technology, culture and the arts gathered around the exciting, elastic theme of future technology. Focused on motivating young people in science, guest speakers Deborah Berebichez of Science Channel’s Outrageous Acts of Science and Kari Byron of Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters used the Audio Spotlight speaker to pan the audience, giving those in attendance a truly unique listening experience.

As Berebichez explains, “We discussed the physics of sound and demonstrated the futuristic effect of Holosonics’ Audio Spotlight speaker by beaming the popular Pharrell Williams song ‘Happy’ to the audience. Having never experienced anything similar before, people laughed and applauded as the beam of music passed by their heads, and the excitement could be felt in the room.”

To help relate the benefits of Holosonics’ directional speakers, Byron and Berebichez referenced Hollywood’s science fiction blockbuster ‘Minority Report,’ which included scenes where actor Tom Cruise was singularly targeted on a public sidewalk with personalized retail advertising announcements. The futuristic concept was based directly on Holosonics’ Audio Spotlight technology, and adding controlled sound to digital signage or in-store product displays are already two of the more popular applications for their directional speakers.

Kari and Debbie discussed other practical applications where controlled sound is of particular benefit, such as museums, galleries, and trade show exhibits, kiosks, waiting rooms, offices, and healthcare facilities, and even assisted listening for the hard of hearing. As the technology continues to mature and evolve, they expect Holosonics’ speakers could one day be found in every household, allowing families to split-screen TV’s and listen to different programming from opposite sides of the same couch, or to help a slumbering partner sleep more comfortably in peace while their spouse watches TV beside them in bed.

Kari shares, “The Holosonic speaker is a perfect example of how today’s innovations can impact our daily lives for years to come. It was great to demonstrate the power of the Audio Spotlight technology to a science-minded audience.”
