Cayin Releases New Web-Based Networked Digital Signage System at
ISE 2006
Taipei, Taiwan November 17, 2005 - In response to the booming
out-of-home media network, Cayin Technology will release a new
networked digital signage product (SMP-WEB) at Integrated System
Europe 2006 (Hall 5, Booth F294), held from February 1st to 3rd.
SMP-WEB is a web-based dedicated digital signage appliance,
which is developed with Cayin's hardened embedded Linux and
provides the most flexible presentations for out-of-home
advertisements, public information, and entertainment.
Digital signage, also known as narrowcasting or electronic
billboards, is a network of signs that use digital displays to
communicate with target audiences in designate locations by
high-quality video, audio, animation, graphics, and texts.
Replacing and enhancing traditional signs, digital signage
offers a multimedia communication platform to promote, inform,
educate, and entertain specific audiences in a variety of
out-of-home occasions.
Compared to those PC-based solutions, SMP-WEB, a compact
dedicated digital signage appliance, has a lower total cost of
ownership. It has lower power consumption and shorter
boot/reboot time than PC. Fanless models are also available to
eliminate the noise for some special applications. The system is
developed with Cayin's hardened embedded Linux, which
effectively increases system security and prevents from computer
virus and hackers' attacks.
SMP-WEB is a web-based networked digital signage system. All
multimedia contents are displayed in full-screen web pages, so
designers can utilize their own familiar web-editing tools and
unleash their creativities without being constrained to
traditional rigid split screens. This system supports most
popular web languages, such as HTML, JavaScript, Macromedia
Flash, DHTML, CSS, etc., and most popular codec and file
formats, such as MPEG-1, 2, 4, AVI, WMV, MP3, JPG, GIF, etc. In
addition to video, images, animations, and texts, SMP-WEB can
extend to provide interactive services incorporating with
external devices such as touch screen, keyboard, keypad, or
mouse.
SMP-WEB is an open-structure platform for easy integration. This
solution is deployed under server-client structure over IP
network, and can integrate easily with customers' existing
network facilities, including web server, data base, storage,
backup, or load balance. It provides a flexible and scalable
networked digital signage solution for various applications.
With Cayin's CMS server, administrators can manage the contents
and system settings of SMP-WEB easily. A CMS server can
administrate up to 60 clients at the same time, and broadcast
right messages to be displayed at right time and right places.
Cayin especially provides a useful web-based management tool for
easy remote control. Administrators can centrally manage all
SMP-WEB players located at different sites with automatic
content updates, scheduling playlists, and can reboot each
player remotely if necessary. SMP-WEB can also detect the
network connection, and change to a pre-set offline display
automatically when the network disconnect accidentally.
Cayin's SMP-WEB is an innovative product in the market and
currently 85 units are purchased and installed by Chinese
Culture University in Taiwan. Those SMP-WEB media players are
deployed with 32"-50" LCD TV at front gates, along corridors, in
front of elevators, and outside conference rooms allocated in
various buildings in different campuses. Administrators can
centrally manage system settings in computer centers and
distribute the right contents to the right media players in
various sites via IP network. They will display school news,
teaching materials, and public information in the format of
videos, images, scrolling texts, and Flash animations. They also
plan to broadcast live videos, such as TV programs or the
graduation ceremony in the auditorium.
