X2O Media to Launch Xpresenter™ 2.0 at NAB2007

MONTREAL — April 11, 2007 —Leading digital signage solution provider X2O Media will be launching version 2.0 of its flagship Xpresenter™ platform at NAB2007. Xpresenter 2.0 features powerful new functionality that further simplifies the digital signage content management workflow and incorporates new tools for distributing and managing digital assets across a network of digital screens using an integrated central server.

“Today’s digital signage networks are only scratching the surface of what’s possible in terms of content,” said David Wilkins, X2O Media President and CEO. “The new Xpresenter platform was created with the next generation of signage networks in mind. Xpresenter still provides broadcast-quality video and images without any of the complexity inherent in creating high-end productions that include graphics, live data, video clips, animations, audio, and more.”

Xpresenter has evolved from a stand-alone application to an end-to-end platform of tools to create, edit, and distribute content to digital signage networks of any size. Based on a concept of “smart” templates and an extensive library of reusable objects created by X2O’s award-winning graphic artists, Xpresenter Template Maker extends PowerPoint® by adding high-end digital signage features, allowing users to author content that includes video, animations, graphics, audio, live data, and more. With these valuable templates close at hand, Xpresenter 2.0 users can create and modify content quickly and with ease. The Xpresenter Player drives the playback of assets and dynamically composites slide elements in real-time to generate the final video output. This means individual content elements can be changed at any time, without requiring entire video segments to be re-rendered whenever a change is made.

Xpresenter 2.0 also includes support for RFID, adding a unique element of interactivity with digital screens. With this new functionality, users can walk up to a digital screen and receive personalized prompts based on information read from their RFID tag, offering a wealth of new application to digital signage network operators.

To simplify content management further and make Xpresenter tools available to anyone, X2O now offers customized Web control screens that can be accessed by authorized users via the Web. These customized screens allow users to update only specific areas, so accidental changes to content or branding elements are minimized. Because the complex programming behind this control interface is hidden from users, they can effortlessly update content as often as required.

The new Xpresenter 2.0 also features Xpresenter Server, an updated central asset management server that automatically distributes new content to remote locations and manages live data feeds for an entire network of displays.
