Media Servers for your Home

Most people are familiar with have a 'server' in their office...the one that stores computer files, etc. But, have you thought about having one at home? More and more people are using media servers to store movies, music and digital photography! One of our recent favorites is the Fusion Genesis server. It allows you to store all of your media in one place and then access it from multiple locations within your home. 

The system allows you to search, sort or filter literally thousands of titles and have instant access to any of them with a single button press. It can also stream multiple feeds throughout the network to different locations so that everyone in the family can watch what they want without bothering others.

Check out this VIDEO from Fusion on how to search through your collection!

Inspired Signage

We are currently working on a digital signage installation for a school system in Virginia. They will soon be able to create & update signage content from one location and it will appear in multiple locations at each of the schools. Even better, this signage will also appear on a local TV station so they are also reaching every household who tunes into that channel from the same place...pretty cool!

WHAT is Digital Signage

The AV Company installs the Inspired Signage solution from AMX. It enables customers to create, schedule and deliver their own vibrant, animated content dynamically to display screens across a network of sites locally, nationally or globally. Through pre-configured hardware and an intuitive software application, your existing staff can easily manage content, graphics and animation targeted to chosen audiences.

Digital Signage is idea for-

• CINEMAS
• SPORTING VENUES
• THEATRES
• BANKING
• CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS
• HOTELS
• EDUCATION
• RECEPTION AREAS
• EXHIBITIONS
• CONFERENCES

What time is it?

We were recently contracted by a local school system to provide master clocks and thought we would share a little more about them here on our blog. Bogen Time Systems provide schools with the correct, up-to-the-second time everywhere in the school. This means that every area from classroom to cafeteria, gymnasium to media center, administrative office to the lobby are all in sync.
