#NECshowcase @ComQi Show Minicom Stuff And More

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We thought that ComQi’s demonstration choice at today’s #NECshowcase was a little peculiar… Minicom ComQi showed off their ScreenGate IP Streamer solution which “took advantage of the existing network infrastructure to deliver content to multiple sites via LAN or WAN, designed to maximize the quality of the content whilst minimising bandwidth consumption” The content was […]

Damon may not talk to us anymore but Scala had a really nice presence at the #NECshowcase today. Eight NEC 46” X462UN displays, mounted on PETA stands were arranged in a creative array to form an arch… Content was custom designed for this arrangement and visitors were able to scan a QR code via their […]

Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

There were about 75 people here in Toronto at the beginning of the day to listen to the opening remarks from Mark Zwicker and an interesting kick off presentation from @KineticUSA CEO David Payne but we understand that there are 90 people registered for the event proper plus 25 speakers. There are about 100 people […]

I’m Sure The #NECshowcase Invitation Said ‘No Riff-Raff’

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Whilst the 1300 pre-registrations for today’s #NECshowcase may well be halved by the usual no-shows (and perhaps today’s inclement wet weather) and will not include many end users or media types (though we did see Matt Gordon from Limited Space walking the floor) it is indeed a fantastic accomplishment by NEC’s UK management who quite […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

NEC Display Solutions Europe is showcasing its recently re-announced VUKUNET ad serving platform during the #NECshowcase 2012 event at the O2 Arena in London today. The first VUKUNET partnership in the UK is with Wonderworks Walkway Media Ltd – a deal that was first hinted at back in February in a sort of haphazard client-speaking-with-foot-in-mouth-without-permission-of-NEC […]

121 View, who Adrian tells me have been very quiet in Europe and North America these past 18 months or so, showed this here at #digitalsignageasia… It’s simple enough but got attendees interested. A digital signage solution including Facial Recognition-based OTS Counter.

First Look At #digitalsignageasia 2012

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

Bing Kimpo

Digital Signage World Asia 2012 seems much smaller now than its last staging almost 2 years ago. Exhibition-wise at least it seems that the global heavy-hitters have shied away, leaving their integrators to press the flesh – HP, Microsoft were there by proxy and it looked like only Intel was inside – literally.
