Digital Signage Software: Our Solution

Jim Hickman

Video Billboard Digital Media Solution

Companies need exposure and you've got high traffic advertising locations lined up. The kicker? Finding easy and affordable software to manage ads and create and track playlists. We feel your pain...

We became the first digital signage company incorporated in Canada in 1990. At the time VHS tapes set to repeat was cutting edge. We tried the many complicated, unreliable and expensive "advancements" for nearly 20 years. Unhappy, we took matters into our own hands.

The result was the creation of our Digital Signage Solution. An easy, yet robust system for managing playlists over the Internet.

Assign the playlist to locations then click save.

4Activate Location

The final step is to activate locations. The player software and codecs needs to be installed to the location. In this example we setup the "Arbutus Country Club".

Online you must copy the location code to be entered into the player software. When the code is activated the playlist is downloaded and playback begins immediately.

Testimonials

"Coordinating the development of the Digital Signage Solution was awesome. I'm so proud of the result." Dylan Lopez, Inno Software Inc
"I am pleased to pass on some words of recommendation for Video Billboard Media Arts. The silent computer animated advertisements are professionally designed and visually pleasing. This enhances the ambiance of our Center, and allows Tourism Kelowna members to tailor their message for this targeted audience. The Video Billboard team have been a delight to work with every step of the way." Diana Dors, Visitor Services Manager, Tourism Kelowna
"The Video Billboard guys have been amazing, from the development of our ads to the consistent modification of them as our specials and business has changed. They have always been attentive and open to discussion on all topics, including ad design. The placement of the Video Billboard screen is large and un-cumbersome, not detracting from the store but adding to it. If you decide to join the growing number of Video Billboard clients you will not be disappointed in any respect." Bill Justus, GM, Ernie’s Place Neighbourhood Pub
