NEC updates free signage software

Paul Milligan, 25 June 2009

NEC Display Solutions has updated its software for the public displays of the MultiSync 15 series, aimed at the entry level digital signage sector. The software enables users to create and display content and ticker-tape announcements on its MultiSync LCD3215, LCD4215 and LCD4615 public displays.

The NEC digital signage software can be downloaded for user application and comprises an Editor Suite and a Player Suite. Media content created using the Editor Suite in the form of photos, videos or text can be transmitted by LAN or WLAN to up to three playback units (Windows XP-based PCs) which require installation of the Player Suite.

The Windows XP-compatible application software has two components and is available for download free of charge. Media content can be user-created using the Editor Suite, and then subsequently transmitted by LAN or WLAN to up to three playback units (Windows XP-based PCs) and NEC MultiSync 15 series public displays.

Installed with the Player Suite software, the playback units are able to display the transmitted content. User-designed content can therefore be displayed in a targeted fashion.

Using either photos, videos or flash animations, the NEC digital signage software can help make sure user-created media content reaches the targeted audience quickly. In addition, user-defined ticker-tape content can be created and transmitted, with infotainment applications also being a possibility of the system.
