WHAT IS DIGITAL SIGNAGE?

When people say “digital signage”, they’re talking about digital displays used to inform and persuade, and it’s popping up in public spaces all over the world. Retailers and transit systems using digital signage are increasingly common, and every day more and more campuses, government institutions and corporations are finding their own ways to benefit from this increasingly affordable technology.

Our digital signage software can be used for a wide range of applications…lobby reception, student lounges, cafeterias, break rooms, call centers, elevator banks, manufacturing floors, meeting rooms…virtually any public space or network. And Visix takes digital signage beyond large displays, believing that anything with a screen can be a digital sign - desktops, RSS readers, smartphones and more.

Companies use digital signage to welcome visitors, show meeting schedules, or tell employees what’s for lunch. Maybe students are reminded that registration ends tomorrow or directed to interactive wayfinding on touchscreens to find their way around campus. As the day comes to a close, screens in your facility might show local weather and traffic so that people can plan their commutes. What you show is really only limited by what you can imagine and create.

Why do I need DIGITAL SIGNAGE?

Digital signage not only informs and engages more people through creative presentation, but also reaches them instantly and reliably - and messages can be updated or retired in real-time. It is a modern approach to communications that draws in viewers with bright, animated graphics and interactivity.

These tools also improve your emergency preparedness by giving you a powerful and flexible tool to deliver security and weather alerts speedily. No matter how detailed or from what source, messages can be distributed in seconds. See more benefits of digital signage here.

What ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF WEB-BASED VS. NATIVE DIGITAL SIGNAGE SOFTWARE?

We believe in making digital signage as easy as possible for our clients. One of the ways we do this is by providing browser-based software. This means that our software lives on one machine that’s on your network or the web so that more people can access it for faster, easier communications.

Some competitors offer software that lives on individual machines (native), but limits the number of people who have access to it, requires more cumbersome training, and places more burden on your IT staff to maintain individual machines, licenses and updates.

do i have to buy special hardware?

Can I use digital signage for alert notifications?

Yes, Visix software supports CAP-compliant alert triggers. Our AxisTV Alert Notification module allows for manual alert overrides using the software interface and provides three ways that integrated third-party systems can automatically trigger your alert notices – by posting CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) messages to an AxisTV content manager, by communicating with the available API, or by sending emails to the content manager. These external systems can include mass notification and text messaging services, emergency notification systems, public address systems, and others.

Are we limited in the number of displays we can use?

The short answer is no, there is no limit. The number of displays you can support is only limited by the software application you purchase and the number of media players you use.

Our AxisTV digital signage software is available in three scalable applications – Standard, Professional and Enterprise. Standard can support three channel players, Professional up to 75 channel players with optional licenses, and Enterprise up to 4,000 channel players with optional licenses. Because our software is browser-based, as many people as you want can create and manage content.

The output of any media player can be distributed to practically any number of displays through signal distribution amplifiers, switchers, routers, transmitters and receivers, or cable systems. Our publishers allow you to push content to desktops and RSS readers, adding endpoints without player hardware.

How long will it take me to learn to use the system?

After just two hours of online training, you'll be able to create, import and schedule content and manage your media libraries and playlists. Another two hours shows you how to create beautiful templates and layouts, and our final two hours of standardized training teaches you how to create user roles, configure system settings and perform other administrative tasks. That's less than one work day to learn our software!

We also offer on-site and custom training sessions to focus on your particular areas of interest.

How often will I have to update the software?

Updating your Visix applications to a more current version can improve system performance, expand functionality and provide you with new tools to reach your audience. We are committed to three to four enhancement and/or feature releases every twelve months and updating are easy with downloadable files and help from our support team.

The most affordable way to ensure you always have the latest versions of Visix digital signage software is to make a small investment in a Software Maintenance Agreement.
