Digital Signage - a New Generation of Distributed IP Video Solutions
One of the first applications of this technology has been in the retail industry. Pre-recorded videos can be shown on various monitors located around the sales floor that present videos appropriate to the department where the monitor is located. A music video can be shown in the CD area, and a fashion show can be shown in the ladies clothing department. The control hardware can store large quantities of video signals for use in the system allowing an unlimited amount of mixing and matching.
Many companies are beginning to see the advantages of CAN based digital signage solutions in such areas as information distribution and training. Video signals can be downloaded from remote sources or even filmed onsite and distributed to remote monitors anywhere within the network. Training classes or information updates can be received by employees right at their workstations eliminating the need to gather in a central location. The applications of digital signage in the workplace are increasing everyday, and the surface has barely been scratched.
Another area that has utilized distributed IP video solutions is surveillance type systems. Correctional facilities have used the technology to coordinate signals received from remote cameras with other functions such as door locking and alarming. This is another area where IP video solutions and digital signage software has just started to be used, and it is certain that more applications will be developed in the future.
Schools are beginning to recognize the value of IP video solutions also. The ability to present instructional videos and relay information from a central location to remote areas such as individual classrooms has opened unlimited possibilities within schools. One of the major advantages of school use is that the system can be student run which provides the additional benefit of training students in a rapidly expanding technical field. The new generation of distributed IP video solutions is rapidly making digital signage an indispensable part of such diverse areas as retail locations, schools, prisons, and the office place.

Natalie Aranda writes about business and technology. The expanding world of digital signage has led to the development of a wide variety of digital signature software that integrates distributed IP video solutions. This software is often used as part of a digital signage network that is sometimes known as a CAN (captured audience network). IP video refers to Internet Protocol video. The software controls the video distribution to the display monitors. Just about any video can be used in this network.
