Candlestick Park realizes value of digital signage, despite 49ers’ possible move.

Almost everywhere you go these days whether at a shopping mall, in a taxi or in a quick-serve restaurant—you cannot escape digital-screen advertising.

The case for going digital is compelling, but why are so many companies making the change? The industry value for 2011 is estimated to be $5 billion and expected to grow to $7 billion within the next two years. The results look great, but why invest in digital signage when you already have printed content on display? Click here to read the ‘Going Digital’ Article

Ping HD provided a solution that enabled Chef Silva to plug new media players pre-configured with new content designs into their existing screens and network to leverage the existing investment. Now that the conversion to Ping HD’s solution is complete, Chef Silva can now change menu items, specials and pricing within minutes and with confidence.

This is a great example of a second generation digital signage project where the flexibility of the network content management solution is what will be needed and expected. Ping HD is poised to lead.

Ping HD is hardware agnostic when it comes to screens and media players. It doesn’t matter whether the media players run Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Android or are a SMIL compatible player. This means that the chances are we can utilize the existing equipment that you have already purchased.

So what’s involved? Well, if we can use your existing hardware then all we need to do is install our web based content management software client on to your players. The process is quick and easy and we can have you upgraded within minutes regardless of your digital media application be it Digital Menu Boards, Digital Advertising Network etc…

Once you are upgraded you can use your existing content or our content design team can provide you with fresh new animated content.

This video demonstrates the power of Ping HD’s IPTV solution and encourages fans to visit the concessions during the game without the fear of missing any of the action. Treated as an asset in the same way as a regular JPG image or video file, the stream can be built into a screen layout such as the example digital menu board shown here. Not just restricted to digital menu boards, IPTV can be used in any Digital Signage application from convention centers, education through to corporate reception areas.

A single IPTV encoder can deliver a live stream to any number of screens on a single local area network which makes this a very cost effective solution.

Ping HD’s solutions are totally flexible and are built on a scalable architecture whereby options such as IPTV can be added at any time whether at the beginning or in the future without the need to change any equipment already purchased.

Following on from the successful pre-season installation of 53 Digital Menu Boards at AT&T Park, home of the 2010 World Series Champions our installation team have just added 30 more screens to convert 6 further concessions over to digital. A testament to the flexibility and scalability of Ping HD’s Digital Menu Board system, the new screens were installed and attached to the AT&T wireless network whilst the San Francisco Giants were playing out of town.

It doesn’t matter whether you need just a single Digital Menu Board or thousands, our solution is infinitely scalable and doesn’t require any on site servers which can be expensive to buy and maintain.
