OBIEE Digital Signage Display

Hi,
We would like to create an overhead LCD to display dashboard data from OBIEE. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this and could guide us in the right direction.
Ideally a prototype would require little capital, but eventually we'll be rolling out to multiple sites globally. Each site might have its own dashboard. Also, if we use touch screens, it would be nice to allow someone to be able to change prompts, dashboards, etc.
I would appreciate any guidance here...it's been hard to find anything online like this.
Thanks,
Matt

HP LD5535 55-inch LED Digital Signage Display set up

Hi, we have a "HP LD5535 55-inch LED Digital Signage Display" at our company which has hundreds of PCs. We want to install the Display monitor on the network.
We already downloaded and installed the display driver and the Utility Tools - "HP Video Over Ethernet" and "HP Network Sign Manager 4" from HP website at [ http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=6917288&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4062 ] .
The utility "HP Video Over Ethernet" could not search it on the network. The PC(IP 10.32.32.30 - Windows 7 professional) and the display are on the same subnet (IP 10.32.32.8) . The PC can ping the monitor.
The utility "HP Network Sign Manager 4" also could now search it, I can manually add it to the utility, and it shows the monitor's model name and the serial number, but it could not associate. Could you please help me to fix it?
Thanks.
Andy

Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded.
You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:

I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

Keynote to play as a screensaver/personal digital signage?

I want to be able to have a Keynote slideshow that I've created for our family play on the iMac in our Family Room much like a screensaver. I want to keep this updated with pictures, upcoming events, reminders, etc. Almost like a family or personal digital signage display. Is there a way to either export a Keynote slideshow, or trigger the file to play as a screensaver when the machine is not active (barring launching the file itself?). I can't seem to find anything on this.

Interesting idea. I hadn't thought of that. I'll have to play with that. Of course, I'll lose any transitions of effects.
I had another idea too...one thing I did notice, is that in the Inspector, under document, there is a checkbox for "Restart show if Idle for XX". So I thought what if I have it set to loop, and to start as soon as the document is launched, then if anyone needed to use the iMac, they could just hit escape, do what they needed to, and that the show would resume after that XX amount of idle time. But, unless I'm not understanding it correctly, it doesnt seem to be restarting the show even when that box is checked? If it would do that...that could be the trick. Almost as good as having it as a screensaver, except that the file would need to be launched.?? Thoughts?

HD Tripple Display Digital Signage

I need a little help checking my logic. I have a digital signage project coming up. I will be displaying 1 movie across 3 Plasma displays at the same time and in the same space. They are HD ready.
Here is what I am thinking:
1 canvas that is 3072 by 768. (3 1024 x 768 screens for native 16:9)
I do all the work on that canvas. I can "replicate" the bezels with a mask, block areas so I can get a feel for it. Then I out put 3 renderings at 1024 X 768 each. They would be the left third, center, and right of the original canvas.
Does this make sense?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Best practices for exporting for digital signage?

I am exporting video clips to be displayed in a PC-based digital signage system. My video was shot in 1080i60, and I imported and edited the footage using HDV sequence settings. My final export size needs to be 1920 x 1080.
I have tried a couple of export strategies (export using Quicktime conversion) and just haven't been happy with how the video clips look on the PC system -- way too much interlacing. When I realized that the HDV codec is not cross platform, I started taking the additional step of opening and re-saving the .mov file in Quicktime. Now I'm fiddling around with Compressor, just to add more complications. I have tried so many different settings and codecs that I have completely lost my way! Can anyone recommend a workflow for this situation?
I am using FCP6 and Compressor 3 on an iMac OS 10.5.8.
Thanks for any help.

I still see interlacing on the H.264 export that I don't see when I export the sequence as HDV. Of course, I can't get the HDV export to play on a PC.
I'm trying to read between all of the lines here...I'm going to assume there is a fundamental lack of understanding about what interlacing is and how you're going to remove it. The display either handles interlaced or progressive video files; one or the other. Let's assume it's progressive only. Since you shot interlaced, you must decide how you're going to remove the interlacing; you either throw away one filed or your combine them. If you combine them, you will see combed edges on anything that moves horizontally because every other line of pixels was captured 1/60th of a second later in time. If you throw away one field, you might as well have shot 720.
Where do you want o make this compromise?

Exporting to Digital Signage

I am using Captivate 3 to create training sessions and merge
Power Point slides. After Publishing, I upload the .swf file into a
product called Inlighten(digital signage company). The Ibox Manager
software accepts .swf files. The file is placed on a "panel" then
plays on our display units. Inlighten is stating that the .swf file
has the movie placed in the "Final Frame" and only plays for a
brief moment then "times out". Is there a way to spread the movie
out throughout all the frames??? Do I have a setting wrong in
Captivate?

Actually, it sounds like an issue with the Inlightens
software.
Two thoughts to make sure your end of things is as covered as
possible:
1) Make sure you publish your Captivate movie to the
lowest-possible version of Flash Player (in the Publish dialog).
There may be a compatibility issue between the Flash Player version
Inlightens uses and the version you're publishing to.
2) For standalone SWFs, make sure that borders are turned OFF
in the Skin menu.
Beyond that, if it works fine in the web browser, then it's
probably not an issue with the Captivate SWF itself.
Cheers,
John

Keynote for Digital Signage?

Hmm...? I thought that the new Keynote provided some means of pulling in RSS feeds. Was that a dream? Or perhaps wishful thinking with respect to the Web View feature?
Our goal is to use Keynote to provide Digital Signage support for an education technology conference we host at Arizona State University in the Spring (http://mec.asu.edu). We'd like to provide updates and information and such to attendees. Keynote would be nice, and the ability to pull in dynamic RSS info would be fantastic.
Any ideas on how this might be accomplished?
Thanks.

I have a plasma screen in our school lobby connected to a MacMini. I wanted to use Keynote to display weather station data kiosk style. One of the Keynote slides would include a web view of the weather station webpage (not exactly RSS, but a related problem that has been discussed widely online). Unfortunately, web views do not update once presentation mode is started. Here's the work around:
1. Use Automator to create an app that (1) stops current presentation & (2) immediately starts it again
2. Using CronniX, create a crontab entry that launches the App created above at a given interval
3. Play the presentation, and walk away.
My attempts at scripting a "stop/start" were unstable, but this has been running smoothly in our lobby for a week. The only drawback is the second-long "blip" followed by the show restarting at first slide, but it's a minimal distraction in this particular environment.

Workflow for exporting wmv for digital signage?

I am working with 1080i60 HD footage (HDV preset and sequence settings) in Final Cut Pro 6. I need to export sequences to be displayed on a Windows 7 machine running a digital signage system. The digital signage software prefers .wmv format.
I have purchased Flip4Mac WMV Studio Pro HD so I can export my HD footage and have a .wmv format video of comparable quality to feed through the digital signage software. I am baffled by all the settings and combinations -- CBR versus VBR; one pass versus two pass; various sizes and data rates. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, does it make a difference if I export via Quicktime Conversion, or use Compressor?
Thanks.

Don't think it matters in terms of quality whether you export using quicktime conversion from within fcp or you use compressor, but compressor will allow you to customize and save your settings as a preset and/or a droplet which may make things easier. Theoretically you will get a more efficient encode using multiple pass variable bit rate encode as the output will be adjusted according to the complexity of the images. However, theory and practice are 2 different things and the only way to really see what your effect this parameters will have on your output is to do some tests. More than likely your displays will be progressive, so fooling with deinterlacing either in fcp or in compressor may be a good idea. Also, bitrate is going to effect how smoothly your wmv's play on the display system. Be sure and test this on your display system with what ever programs, etc will be running at the same time and hopefully on hardware that will match what will be in position for end use. You will probably make your clients a little crazy with questions and testing unless of course they've had some unfortunate experiences in the past, in which case they'll be appreciative right from the start.

Since you are deplying the 4400, and can therefore use HTML, one way would be to use a database to store the names of files and locations, and then with a simple interface, the user can select from the slides that they want to display, which they could have uploaded prior. Your dynamic page could then display the image.

Digital signage or Sling box

I am looking for a replacement for the current setup we have in the breakroom. We have a small tower that is used to stream cable tv from the cable box, as well as display some information that is constantly updating from the local network (lunch break times, if there is a call waiting, the weather, etc.). I have been asked to look into a replacement for this setup, with a note that digital signage with TV capabilities would be fine. I found the SlingBox and fell in love, but it is a slight overkill as far as what we need. It is $200 bucks. Is there any other options you guys can think of?

Digital Signage Templates

We just received two 4305G Digital Media Players. We have no backend server or streaming server or anything like that. We're a fairly small shop so we don't have anyone particularly gifted in HTML.
Does anyone know of a place to find some templates or a WYSIWYG editor so I can create some Digital Signage pages for these devices to display? Or would it be better to go ahead and purchase the backend management server. If we do get cisco's management server, does that include any kind of signage editor or will we still need to develop the sites ourselves?
Thanks for the help!

Digital Signage Software

I'm investigating producing content for digital signs. Does anyone have experience in this area and have a software product they can recommend?

Digital signage has exploded into a huge industry. There were dozens of product booths at NAB using all kinds of elaborate and proprietary technologies. The displays can over-resolve HD video so it is a very cool delivery method but it requires new ways of designing content and pushing pixels to the display systems. And lots of D.S. displays are vertical or segmented. Rmemeber "video walls?" Digital signage makes that stuff look like pointy sticks and clay tablets.
Put digital signage into google. There are even trade magazines for this industry.
Hope you find what you need.

Smart content - like digital signage??

Is there any way to embed live RSS feeds into a Keynote slideshow? Also - what about things like countdown timers, weather, etc? I have a presentation that I have set to run on our iMac in the Family Room, and my hope is to use it as a type of digital signage for the family... things like reminders, photos, weekend to do's, upcoming events, priorities,etc is what I use it for now....and it's great! I want to take it to the next level with some smarter content though. Any thoughts?

Hello GaryFL!, Same issue here - we are running a number of digital displays across the building, using Keynote, and would like to incorporate an RSS feed that we produce anyway. If you've had any ideas about this in the meantime, I'd be pleased to hear! Gerhard

Digital signage application

I'd like to know if Strobe could be a good choice for digital signage application.
I'd like to know in particular if:
- I need full screen application. Can I use Strobe in full screen mode (monitor HD 1920-1080) inside a web page.
Also in Portrait and landscape way ?
- can I overlay text over video (not ads like youtube ads but price o other words over a exact point of the video for the exact duration of 1 video and change text for the following video in playlist ?
Playlist
1° playlist video -> 1° overlay text in a exact poit of the video
2° playlist video -> 2° (different from 1° and in different position)
Is this possible and simple ?
- can I manage playlist in advanced mode
(I'd like to create playlist in dynamic way, with languages like php fetching data from DB)
Thank you in advance

Hi,
- I need full screen application. Can I use Strobe in full screen mode (monitor HD 1920-1080) inside a web page.
Also in Portrait and landscape way ?
SVE: OSMF supports fullscreen, since flash supports it. Switching from landscape to portrait was not tested on monitors, but you should be able to control this from the video player, by adding some code.
- can I overlay text over video (not ads like youtube ads but price o other words over a exact point of the video for the exact duration of 1 video and change text for the following video in playlist ?
SVE : Yes - there are captioning or text layout examples in the osmf code samples
Playlist
1° playlist video -> 1° overlay text in a exact poit of the video 2° playlist video -> 2° (different from 1° and in different position) ...
Is this possible and simple ?
- can I manage playlist in advanced mode (I'd like to create playlist in dynamic way, with languages like php fetching data from DB)
SVE: Possible, but not very simple. Please look at the Strobe media playback JS API examples and the playlist feature

Digital cinema display

I should know this but is there a keyboard shortcut to go into full screen digital cinema display...it is a real pain to go to view, etc., etc., etc,...I am still saddened that with hdv I can not use an external monitor...o well...thanks as always... tbonfire

Set it up in View>Video Out then Cmd-F12 will toggle it on and off.
Not sure if this will work with FCE, but you might want to take a look at the Matrox MXO box. It puts an HD signal on a separate monitor and adjusts the color and gamma for video display.
