SVSi, the provider of high-speed cameras for slow-motion digital video analysis, has announced it will exhibit its voLANte digital video LAN
solution for digital signage networks at InfoComm08.
Using the voLANte solution, it is possible to deliver 100 percent igital, high-definition content through a standard CAT 5 wire to any digital display. Thus it is possible to easily implement a digital signage network without requiring expensive cabling or professional AV expertise.
With the voLANte solution, installation is easy as all that’s needed is to plug the voLANte transmitter card in the host PC; connect DVI, USB and audio cables from the PC to inputs on the transmitter card; and connect the LAN output to the voLANte receiver units.
There are several advantages of the voLANte solution. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface of the voLANte Conductor content distribution and display management software makes the management of video network very convenient. Users can also schedule HostPlay or LocalPlay to create “zones” of dynamic content based on time of day or demographics.
Another advantage that the voLANte solution provides is scalability. Being infinitely scalable, the solution allows the deployment of any number of displays on the network. In addition, it is possible to simulcast up to six channels of HD content from any DVI or HDMI source or from the local receiver (similar to a media player) that too using a single, standard CAT 5 wire.
Not only is the voLANte digital video LAN completely Ethernet compatible but it can also be shared with other network devices including switches, routers, wireless access points, and IP
cameras. Further, the solution requires standard connections and standard components and can be used with any standard PC, graphics card, sound card, and display.
