FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MONTREAL — March 26, 2007 —Leading digital signage solutions provider X2O Media and JB&A Distribution today announced a new agreement through which JB&A will distribute X2O Media’s award-winning digital signage products and services throughout the United States. The new partnership enables JB&A to provide its customers with X2O Media’s easy-to-use, broadcast-quality authoring tools, including the flagship XPresenter system. JB&A will also work with X2O Media in order to offer customers its award-winning creative design services and expertise in managing graphics and content.
“We are extremely excited about our partnership with X2O Media,” said Jeff Burgess, JB&A Distribution CEO. “We have been researching digital signage opportunities extensively and found in X2O Media exactly what the market desires. The company’s products are intuitive in use and provide a high-quality visual experience with a comprehensive back end. X2O Media is unique in providing this combination, and we feel the company represents the future of digital signage.”
“We’re looking forward to leveraging JB&A’s expertise and broad experience in the digital media industry to identify and fulfill a wide range of digital signage solution needs,” said David Wilkins, X2O Media President and CEO. “Market demand for sophisticated digital signage is growing steadily, and we expect our new agreement with JB&A will speed further adoption of X2O Media products such as our XPresenter system across the U.S. market.”
Today, digital signage networks are poised to rival the reach and influence of traditional television networks. In order to accomplish that, the content displayed on digital signs will need to combine optimal visual quality with the real-time information viewers see on TV. The founders of VertigoXmedia, which delivered graphics solutions for some of the world’s most demanding television productions, have created X2O Media to make these revolutionary end-to-end digital signage solutions a reality. X2O Media offers easy-to-use authoring tools with broadcast-quality video, expertise in creating and managing graphics and content, and a variety of services which can be customized to specific requirements.
The company’s Xpresenter solution is an affordable, easy-to-use system that allows Microsoft PowerPoint® users to produce broadcast-quality graphics that incorporate animations, clip art galleries, video clips, and real-time data sources — all without ever leaving the PowerPoint interface. X2O Media will be releasing version 2.0 of Xpresenter in April 2007. Xpresenter includes a style gallery of graphics templates, custom control panels, video clip previewing, and tools for quickly resizing presentations to fit the varying dimensions of output displays and broadcast monitors. With Xpresenter, users can easily produce compelling presentations containing live information with minimal effort for any type of visual display, including corporate presentations, digital signage displays, hospitality channel programming, and much more.
X2O Media’s Design Division has extensive experience in design for television and digital signage applications, with graphic design credits in the most demanding television broadcast environments, including high-profile election campaigns and major sporting events. World-renowned for its expertise in executing design concepts, the Design Division has been honored with awards from the prestigious BDA (North America) and from OMNI Intermedia.
