Cayin Technology Showcases Innovative Linux-based Digital Signage Solutions at ISE 2006
Integrated Systems Europe 2006, also shorten as ISE 2006 is the
leading pan-European show on Audio Visual (AV) systems
integration industry including home, professional and commercial
markets. Many products relating to AV displays are going to be
presented. ISE is said as the place to get the latest news and
see the latest innovations in the AV world, including Digital
Signage.
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.
As an innovator in the Digital Signage market, Cayin is going to
demonstrate two main Linux-based products: SMP-WEB and a preview
of the next product release SMP-PRO2. We will showcase all
powerful and multimedia presentations in larger screen displays,
including traditional landscape, portrait, and interactive
applications in digital signage.
SMP-PRO2 is a skin-based display engine. It means it uses fixed
template (picture) as the display background (Skin). Using a
simple software tool that Cayin offers, you can easily draw up
to five dedicated areas on the skin; one area for stored/lived
video playback or pictures slide show, one area for scrolling
text, two areas for picture slides show and one area which is
actually the background. For each area, the size and the
location can of course be chosen for customized presentation.
SMP-PRO2 supports most popular codec and file formats, such as
MPEG 1/2, AVI, WMV, WMA, MP3, JPG, GIF, etc.
SMP-WEB is a web-based networked digital signage system. All
multimedia contents are displayed in full-screen webpage, so
designers can utilize their own familiar web-editing tools and
unleash their creativities. This system supports most popular
web languages, such as HTML, JavaScript, Macromedia Flash,
DHTML, CSS, etc., and most popular audio/video codec and image
file formats, such as MPEG 1/2, AVI, WMV, MP3, JPG, GIF, etc. In
addition to video, images, animation, and text, SMP-WEB can
easily extend to provide interactive services incorporating with
external devices such as touch screen, keyboard, keypad, or
mouse.
Both SMP-WEB and SMP-PRO2 are scalable and can be deployed
either as a networked standalone solution or under a networked
server-client structure, incorporated with Cayin's CMS Server.
With CMS server, administrators can remotely manage the contents
and system settings of all SMP clients. A CMS server can
administrate 60 clients at the same time (advised - bandwidth
issue), and broadcast right messages to be displayed at right
time and right places.
Cayin especially provides a useful web-based user interface for
easy remote control. Administrators can centrally manage all SMP
players located at different sites with automatic content
updates, scheduling playlists, players group management,
real-time broadcast (streaming video) capabilities and can
reboot each player remotely if necessary.
At ISE 2006, Cayin Technology is going to introduce the
powerful, advanced features and versatile applications in
digital signage. If you are interested, we invite you to come to
visit us (Hall 5, Booth F294). You will have the opportunity to

marketing and broadcasting platform.
