Visix Delivers Embedded Media Appliance
June 10, 2008
ATLANTA, GA —
Visix,
Inc., has announced the release of its first fully-embedded digital
signage media appliance. The new media appliance is capable of playing
a variety of still, video and audio formats including video overlay from
external sources. Additionally, the appliance can support external
database sources delivered in RSS and XML formats.
The media
appliance is positioned as a cost effective, entry-level digital signage
endpoint device with features applicable to the majority of vertical
markets served by Visix. The appliance can be delivered at a price
nearly 50% less than a full-blown PC media player while still supporting
a variety of visual layouts and designs.
The media
appliance operates on a Linux kernel, making it less susceptible to
disruptions due to updates often found in other operating systems.
Content for the appliance is managed through Visix’s AxisTV digital
signage software application, using its Professional and Enterprise
server platforms. The appliance can be configured to support N-tier
scalability built into the Enterprise server application, and can be
easily integrated with new or existing channel players supported by
AxisTV Professional and Enterprise servers.
“We have
been talking for more than a year to IT departments looking for cost
effective digital signage endpoints that can be easily managed,” stated
Trey Hicks, Vice President of Sales with Visix. “This new embedded
media appliance is a solution that is cost effective, scalable and
reliable, and can be brought online in a matter of minutes.” furthered
Hicks.
The media
appliance will be available for sale to the public as of July 1 through
direct and reseller channels, as well as the Visix online store.
Visix,
Inc. designs, develops and supports a suite of software applications
that allow users to create, import and manage their visual
communications from anywhere and to deliver those messages to virtually
any endpoint.
The company
offers digital signage software, room and event scheduling solutions,
and applications for targeted messaging to desktops and portable
devices. Each of these products works independently or can be integrated
into scalable deployments from a single display to large networks. This
comprehensive approach to on-time communications – from concept to
delivery – provides systems including software, hardware and
distribution accessories, as well as
multi-tier service and support options to manage and maintain dynamic
visual communications.
