Digital Signage is advertising or promotional material, displayed on screens in retail and public spaces. It brings the power of mediums like film and television into the out-of-home environment.

In retail environments, Digital Signage lets you talk to your customers whilst they are in-store, surrounded by your products and in a mind-set to buy.

Digital Signage brings the emotional impact of a television commercial with the "adjacency" of a point-of-sale poster.

Simple digital signage systems display promotional media in a loop. Typically, each promotion stays on screen for 15 – 30 seconds.

With the Info-Onscreen m-cast system, you can do much more. With our range of Program Scheduling software, you can easily divide the screen in to a number of independent regions.

So you can display a news ticker at the bottom, your logo, sponsor message or your current specials in a sidebar and still have a large region for individual product promotions that swap from one to the other.

With m-cast you can also arrange programming into day of week – so promotions will be different on weekends than they are on weekdays. You can program the system down to each day of the week.

You can even have different programming playlist by individual parts of the day. Your screen can show a different set of promotions in the morning, lunchtime and evening.

You can manage large groups of screens from a central console and broadcast out the media a playlists to the remote screens and gather tracking data from the screens.

The m-cast system can also integrate with other applications. We have linked m-cast into Point of Sale software with our powerful Xpert System.

The m-cast expert can monitor the items in a checkout list in real time and suggest offers and promotions based on the implied demographic of the shopper – based on the products they have already brought.

The m-cast system is also integrated into queuing control systems, casino jackpot management systems, and proximity sensors.

The m-cast system is more than a simple digital signage program; it can become a vital tool in your promotional arsenal, bringing “Precision Marketing to the Point of Decision”.

Typical look of a final m-cast screen with large video advertising region, a bottom screen news ticker fed by real-time RSS stream and a sidbar with sponsor's advertising. Each screen region is independently updated with new content without interupting the other screen regions.

The advertising can be made to respond to events like a petrol pump starting or to proximity sensors that will trigger advertising when someone is nearby.

The m-cast Scheduler Software

While it is the m-cast Players that display media on screen . . . it is the m-cast Schedulers which tell the Players what to play and when and how to interact with customers. Schedulers are the brains of the system.

So what does an m-cast Scheduler do exactly?

Well . . . the scheduler is the place where you get to control what is played on the various screens in your Digital Signage Network. Here is what the m-cast scheduler actually software does - and does in a particulalrly simple and efficient way:

The m-cast Scheduler keeps a list of the Players in a particular digital signage network	The m-cast Scheduler allows media to be imported, managed and categorized
The media is formed into daily Playlists, which tell the Players - second by second - what they should be playing throughout each day	Playlists are attached to a Player's calendar for one or more day
Playlists can be attached to groups of Player as well	Builds a set of media files and control files which can be transmitted to the Players
