Electronic Art has recently added Scala digital signage software to it’s list of products available to our clients.  As a Scala InfoChannel Value Added Reseller we can provide Scala licensing, software, installation and support in addition to the digital signage content we provide.  Scala approved player hardware is also available in addition to the multiple LCD vendors we resell such as LG, Samsung & Phillips.

InfoChannel is Scala’s digital signage management suite that provides enterprise level features and scalability for large and medium size installations.  InfoChannel provides the ability to collaboratively create, publish, schedule and centrally control media-rich content that can be delivered and dynamically localised at the point of playback to one or thousands of networked displays . As the leader in Dynamic Digital Signage solutions since 1987, the technology has field-proven scalability and 24/7 reliability.

The above image is a simplified version of a typical signage network using Scala InfoChannel tools to manage content provided by Electronic Art.  If you don’t already have a management tool for your digital signage, contact Electronic Art to determine if Scala is right for your digital signage network and see how we can provide rich messaging for your digital signage network.

We are proud to announce a new partnership with Samsung for digital signage components such as their commercial LCD and plasma screens.  Sizes from 32″ to 57″ LCD screens and Samsung even has 70″ and 82″ LCD panels. But you had better bring the budget for those sizes!  Most digital signage falls within the 40″ or 46″ sizes.  Samsung has models with ultra thin bezels around the glass that are not only sleeker looking, but also allow you to put several together for a video wall that have nearly no black borders to draw attention to your message.

Many sizes include options for built in digital content players from Samsung for an integrated approach so you don’t have to have separate PC’s to playback your message. The built in players run Windows XP Embedded, which is a smaller commercial version of Windows XP that gives a very stable environment not made for consumers. And Samsung offers a content management tool called Magic Info Pro to allow the content to be managed across the network for a homogeneous solution. Using their built-in player pc’s allow for a total package with fewer cables, better security and a cleaner installation.  Some of the special features include: lamp error detection, brightness sensor, temperature sensor, built-in fan and more depending on the models.

Contact myself or Rob Brinkmeyer for more information on Samsung products or any of the other digital signage products we offer with our custom digital signage content.  Once you get the hardware, you need custom messaging that is on brand and on target, and that is what Electronic Art can do for you… the total package.
