Starbak has announced the availability of a new display engine offering HD (High Definition) support to its digital signage application. The new HD Display Engine, available with Starbak’s V3 platform, enables organizations to extend their existing desktop-based video communications to reach audiences in high traffic, common areas.
Leading organizations, including Lockheed Martin and Westpac Bank, have already deployed Starbak’s digital signage network to provide passive viewing of training classes, public service announcements, CEO addresses and other vital corporate communications. By deploying digital signage as part of an integrated video communications platform, organizations can leverage the same Starbak solution in use for employee video training and video streaming of corporate meetings to serve centrally controlled displays at multiple branches or locations.
Starbak V3, launched in May 2008 as the industry’s first fully integrated “enterprise video portal and integrated network solution” for the delivery of rich media, includes the Video Portal, Video Capture, Enterprise Content Delivery Network — and now HD Digital Signage. In addition, Starbak V3 is compatible with the company’s patented solutions for capturing and streaming video from any IP-based videoconferencing endpoint.
According to the company, with this enhanced application, publishers can create playlists of live and on-demand video assets and allow distribution to any number of TVs, LCDs and plasma screens for passive, “anywhere” viewing including lobby areas, factories, cafeterias and conference rooms.
“Digital signage is one of the fastest growing applications for our customers in the corporate, education and healthcare markets, ensuring that important video messages reach the intended audience, where ever they may be,” said Greg Casale, CEO of Burlington, Mass.-based Starbak. “By adding high definition support, Starbak has made this important communications medium even more effective for its customers.”
