Excellent TV Footage on Digital Signage in Japan
Check this out - it is one of the best reportages I have seen providing an elevator pitch on the bottom line story of the benefits of digital signage - from the real world of consumers, and in a language everyone understands: http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/movie/feature38.html
New DS Rollout at Tokyo’s Shinagawa Station
Shinagawa JR station is one of the busiest railway stations worldwide. So it is rather surprising that this high traffic venue has not been explored for digital signage revenue generation. I have always asked myself in previous visits when this will finally happen. So this time it happened - I caught a brand new installation which was not yet [...]
AEON National Rollout in Japan
I just returned from a trip to Japan where I have seen parts of a national rollout of AEON, the leading supermarket and shopping malls operator. We believe the rollout was done with Scala software and all screens are connected with Minicom Digital Signage's DS Vision 3000 systems, allowing for full screen control over CAT5. Have a look at a [...]
The Rush before the Rush – First views from #DSE2010
I arrived late night yesterday and as usually got up at 3am not being able to sleep. Not that I am so nervous towards DSE, but the jetlag hit me hard and I didn't enjoy enough night life of Vegas as of yet. This morning arrival at convention centre. First impression as always on the day before the show opens: one huge mess. But this is [...]

Not only hit it hard, but accelerated also the economical crisis which was devastating the local industry and general economy to an extreme. [...]
SERVUS! A milestone for OVAB Europe
Servus aus Munchen, where the DS industry from all over the world gathers for the OVAB Munich DooH conference. Yesterday, the day before the conference, the OVAB board met for its quarterly meeting, however, the more interesting part was the meeting of the OVAB DBCI (DooH Business Climate Index), with figures such as Chris Heap (Imperative Group), [...]
Wild East, Soft West
I have been advocating for long time the theory and fact, that the real, long term future is in the East. CeBIT Turkey once again underlined my view. Although, coming from the west, all looks rather like an organized chaos at a first glance, but looking and digging deeper, one discovers quickly that we talk real business, a word is a word and [...]
Orient Express
After all the shows I walked last week I thought I should afford myself a bit a different exhibition experience, so I flew to Istanbul to CeBIT Turkey, where our partner Saben, in partnership with Minicom Digital Signage is using all its power to move the Turkish market closer to digital signage. When I arrived at the show at 6pm the night before [...]
How to stick a poster on a screen…
I just returned home after a long week of exhibitions. I gave already my view about Digital Signage Show in London - see our blog. I continued from there to Viscom in Düsseldorf and have to admit that my expectations were not very high. However, the surprise was positive when I entered hall 8a after passing the queues (yes, you hear q-u-e-u-e-s, [...]
