Is one of your jobs to oversee a digital signage network? Or are you interested in learning more about digital signage, including how you can use advertising to pay for it? Last month we published a report, a primer on Digital-out-of-Home that we worked on for more than a year, in partnership with the Digital Signage Federation, DPAA, OAAA, Geopath and IAB. It’s totally free to download, and is divided up into six parts to make it easier to read what you’re most interested in. Check it out here. And if you have any comments, be sure to email us and let us know!

Enjoy the issue.

COLUMNS

 

+ The Reality of 8K [Jonathan Brawn, CTS, DSCE, DSDE, DSNE, DCME, ISF-C]

Does 8K really matter? What will make it better than 4K? Why would we use 8K? My personal answer… Why not? 8K delivers four times the resolution of 4K (yeah, you’ve heard that one before), but also consider WHY that matters. The concept here is not just resolution, but pixel density.
