Visix has unveiled a major update of its digital signage software application, AxisTV version 8.0. The release includes a variety of new features, enhancements and bug fixes for a significantly improved user experience. Notable items of the update are a completely new user interface and background library, as well as 64-bit support for Microsoft Server 2008.

AxisTV’s user interface still runs in a web browser, but has been redesigned to provide a cleaner, more consistent content management experience through Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome. Both navigation and workflows have been improved by the new interface design:

• The main menu uses a simple tab design for intuitive navigation.
• Submenus rely on icon-based navigation for faster visual recognition and use.
• Multi-page workflows have been collapsed into single pages for convenience.
• Page refreshes are faster to speed up previewing and content management.
• Content thumbnails have been enlarged for easier viewing.

AxisTV v.8.0 also includes a completely new background library designed by the Visix Creative Services team. It includes an assortment of handsome display layout wallpapers in six color schemes and various resolutions with matching message background sets for each. Clients can choose from the free background library when creating digital signage content or upload their own designs in a variety of aspect ratios. A handy foldering system makes background management simple and intuitive.

The module allows AxisTV users to publish content to smartphones and tablets using HTML5.

Here are all the details.
