PlayBox Expanding At InfoComm

The Digital signage company, PlayBox Technology is expanding with new modules and features launched at InfoComm 2008.
PlayBox DS, well known for its simplicity and high flexibility of content creation and management, is now enriched with even more advanced functionality.
This includes multi-channel scheduling, workflow management, content statistics and report generation, as well as advertisement contract planning and execution management.
Getting started is now easier than ever with the introduction of DS Whole Workflow giving more potential for PlayBox DS to scale incrementally from one to any number of players with very cost-effective solutions.
DS Designer enables the creation of eye-catching presentations directly within the PlayBox DS environment. Now all types of media including slides, SD video, HD video, logos clocks, etc. can be composed to make the finished show.
The built-in character generator adds text with rolls and crawls. Transitions and picture-in-picture are among the many presentation styles available. Completed projects are sent to the DS Player for delivery to the screens.
DS Whole Workflow is available off-the-shelf in three editions, Stand Alone, Lite and MultiChannel with the ability to upgrade as required. The DS Whole Workflow Stand Alone Edition has two modules, DS Designer to create projects and a DS Player to run the projects - ideal for a single output system.
The DS Whole Workflow Lite Edition adds DS Player Manager that extends control and monitoring over multiple remote DS players providing playlists to run many different simultaneous presentations for days, weeks or months ahead.
Top of the range DS Whole Workflow MultiChannel Edition can serve hundreds or thousands screens.
The three DS Whole Workflow editions can just be a starting point as all can be scaled to work with all the other PlayBox DS modules such as the DS Librarian that manages the content and allows users to access content that is not on the local drives but somewhere on the local network.
These modular PlayBox DS editions allow users to have complete control over the presentation of Digital Signage media. As a consumer marketing tool this can deliver targeted messages to one or thousands of screens when and where required with content and information.
PlayBox Technology is an international communications and information technology company serving the broadcast, corporate and digital signage markets in more than 60 countries.
It is dedicated to the research, design, development and provision of the best products, systems, solutions and services.
