Thomson Brings Latest Version of LAN-Based Video Delivery System to InfoComm
Thomson Grass Valley’s new MEDIAEDGE3 DS video delivery system for signage, education and other messaging, now includes the ability to combine and display animated graphics, text, and other HTML elements. By including these new options, users can accurately display Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) layouts in a variety of creative ways. MEDIAEDGE3 users can design screens with any combination of graphics, text, HTML, and video.
To support this, Thomson also announced a software-based tool to help users develop SMIL layouts that combine and display these graphic elements. Once completed, the new application is used to “publish” SMIL layouts to the network for display using MEDIAEDGE set top boxes.
Thomson says users will be able to send SMIL layouts to multiple MEDIAEDGE set top boxes, or HDMA-4000 units, over the LAN. A SMIL layout is a text file based on the XML format. It allows you to describe the layout of a digital signage display and carries links to content that will populate the display.
The new MediaEdge3 DS option is scheduled for delivery this month.
