 Moving Tactics drive Midas channel with Isenzo
Moving Tactics, a South African specialist in retail advertising, have recently selected Isenzo as their digital signage solutions provider after a successful three month field trial.
The conclusion of the trial was followed by the immediate installation of Mediacaster onto a 100 screen network that Moving tactics operates in Midas, a national automotive accessories group. The channel provides a mixture of advertising, entertainment and news to stores throughout the country via an HSDPA wireless network.
A key factor in the decision to select Mediacaster was the significant reduction in data usage and the robust performance of our technology compared to other products.
"Digital signage offers significant ROI compared to static POS signage, in addition to being highly versatile and visually appealing," said Moving Tactics' Business Development Director, Ray Smeda. "The success of the software in the Midas environment, has given us absolute confidence in Isenzo, and we will be utilizing the Mediacaster software in Picardi Rebel, Ultra Liquor, Makro Cellular and our Sport Store environments nationally"
 Amik scores in Beirut with Mediacaster
AMIK SARL, our Lebanese partner, has used Mediacaster to great effect in their installation for the Banque Libano Française. The in-house channel displays product information as well as live RSS news headlines.
Six sites have been installed so far with thirty more scheduled for completion by year-end. A street-facing daylight viewable screen was also installed at the Beirut branch, in conjunction with local 3M suppliers, 3Gulf Limited. The screen was created using rear projection onto a 3M Vikuity surface mounted on the window and made use of the Mediacaster RS232 communication module to control the projectors’ video inputs.
The feature was tested in a mission critical situation when it was used to automatically switch between the Bank’s internal marketing channel and a satellite feed of the EURO 2008 final. An ecstatic crowd in the street was very happy to see that the switch-over occur right on time !
Sneak Preview – Video on Demand
 Not content to rest after the last release, the development team is hard at work on the next version.
One of the exciting new features is a Video On Demand module that allows user-initiated playback of select content on any Mediacaster player.
VOD content is managed independently from the normal broadcast schedule and is the ideal way to deliver staff training, product demonstrations and corporate communications to remote sites. The VOD feature can be operated by any MCE-compatible remote control and includes PIN-based access. |
