FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MONTREAL —Sept. 12, 2008 — Leading digital signage solutions provider X2O Media and Digi-Box.co.uk are pleased to announce a new agreement whereby Digi-Box will distribute X2O’s broadcast-class digital signage products and services throughout the U.K. and Ireland. Digi-Box will offer customers X2O’s flagship Xpresenter™ platform including the Microsoft ® PowerPoint®-based content authoring application; Web-based content management, content distribution, and remote management applications; and other digital signage solutions. Digi-Box will also work closely with X2O to offer customers award-winning creative design services and expertise in managing graphics and content.
“X2O Media offers the highest-quality digital signage solution and we’re extremely excited about our partnership,” said Jon Phillips, Managing Director at Digi-Box. “We see a lot of potential in the digital signage market and what X2O Media has to offer is a perfect fit for what the markets need. The company’s products are innovative, intuitive, and provide a high-quality visual experience. X2O’s depth of experience with managing content in the broadcast environment translates into immediate savings to digital signage customers.”
“We’re looking forward to leveraging Digi-Box’s excellent reputation and expertise to enter the U.K. and Ireland markets,” said David Wilkins, X2O Media’s President and CEO. “Given the demand we’ve seen in the market for our next-generation platform, we’re confident that Xpresenter will be quickly adopted across these key European markets.”
Today, digital signage networks want to rival the reach and influence of traditional television networks. In order to accomplish that, the content displayed on digital signs demands the visual quality and up-to-the-second information that viewers see on TV. X2O Media was created by the founders of VertigoXmedia — who delivered some of the world’s most demanding television productions — to enable a content and quality revolution within end-to-end digital signage solutions.
The company’s latest release of the powerful Xpresenter platform is an end-to-end digital signage platform that includes content authoring, scheduling, distribution, and remote management applications. It features the patented Xpresenter Template Maker, the easy-to-use application that allows 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. Version 2.1 introduces new functionality including numerous interactive configurations, interactive touch-screens, RFID, BlueTooth®, and magnetic card readers for a personalized interactive experience. Among other features, it adds an LCD and plasma “smart” screen control feature to save power and extend screen life by using simple commands via an RS-232 port.
X2O’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.
