NTI--Multiple Display Digital Signage and Electronic Signs, System and eSign Software.

What is Digital Signage?
Digital signage is a form of advertising in which content and messages displayed on an electronic screen, LCD/TV known as a Digital Sign, typically with the goal of delivering targeted messages to consumers. Digital signage offers superior return on investment (ROI) over traditional advertising media. The content displayed on digital signage screens can range from simple text and still images to full-motion video, with or without audio using digital signage software.

Digital Signage is also known as Electronic Signs, Electronic Displays, Electronic Billboards, Dynamic Digital Signs, Narrowcasting, Datacasting, Electronic Display Networks, Digital In-Store Merchandising, Out-of-Home Media Networks, Employee TV, Captive Audience Networks, or Digital Media Networks.

How can Digital Signage help my business?
It can help by substantially promoting your products and services like never before on vibrant, colorful LCD screens. Attract customers attention quickly and effectively. This is the newest form of digital advertising. The world is going all 'digital', so keep your business right on the cutting edge of technology.

How do our DS Systems work?
Create your media 'content' in one of the formats shown below and set up your environment on the Digital Signage Server (DSS) . Digital signage software is included to manage and schedule your media content...that's it ! Display spreadsheets, menus, a website, pictures, or a full advertisement in one of the supported formats.

What do you mean by 'media content' ?
The term 'content' represents whatever you would like to display on your digital signs. It could be something as simple as text, a picture or a fully animated video. Media content is created outside of the software included with our systems.

How do I update the content on the displays?
Simple. For example, let's say you need to make a change on digital sign #5. Just open the eSign software control panel, make your modifications, and save. Content will automatically refresh on display #5 on the next loop of the media timeline. And the best part is, you can make the changes live!

Is everything included?
We provide everything you will need to set up your system based on your communication with us regarding your project. You will provide the media content to be used on the DS system. You can purchase displays from us or you can use existing HDTVs or LCDs if you have them already. Detail instructions are included and our technicians are standing by to take your call if you have any questions.

What sets our DS-Z Series systems apart?
We have designed a completely new cutting edge system for Digital Signage based on the most current technologies allowing up to 7 digital signs to be controlled with a single DS Server. Something that has never been done before, until now. Typical digital signage systems require multiple, very expensive decoder boxes at each LCD display location as well as additional complex equipment. Our DSS Systems use simple video extension modules (VEM) to extend video to content displays.

The VEMs are very easy to set up and much more cost effective utilizing one powerful DSS Server to manage multiple indoor displays from one convenient location up to 600 feet away! Or an external sign if it is in a weatherproof enclosure.

How far away can my content displays be from the DS Server?
All of our systems come standard with 100' video extension cables. We also offer optional Long Range VEM modules to extend digital signage content up to 600' away. One transmit/receive pair of modules would be needed for each display extended through standard CAT5 network cable (customer provided). Wireless video extension is available up to 300' LOS!
