rAVe DS [Digital Signage] — Volume 14, Issue 4

February 25, 2022 | Volume: 14 | Issue: 4

You might be asking yourself, “what do semiconductors have to do with me?” The short answer is … a lot. Basically, semiconductors affect all of us. It’s just in different ways. In digital signage, semiconductors communicate from the media player to the display (they do other things too, but that’s my best example at the moment). That leads me to Sara Abrons and her new column. Learn more about the teeny tiny world that makes the teeny tiny chips. Once you know more about this process, it’ll blow your mind.

Next up, industry education is important to many of you. It is to me as well! But how many opportunities are out there? What can we do to continually utilize these opportunities? Check out the latest from Murphy Daley to stay on top of all of that.

Have a great weekend — don’t forget about LAVNCH WEEK 5 — where there will be a whole day dedicated to digital signage products, education and thought leadership. I hope to see you there!
