Wegener Corporation (OTCQB: WGNR.PK), a leading provider of
equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks
worldwide, today announced it will showcase a variety of solutions
to aggregate and display content from multiple sources at the 2011
Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas in booth 1339. WEGENER®
demonstrations include:
- A preview of the Open Ingest solution
for CompelConnect.com™ controlled digital signs
- Blending live video feeds with digital
signage using Apantac’s Multiviewer
- A preview of the new library mode for
WEGENER iPump® media servers to support training programs requiring
video on demand
The Open Ingest solution helps organizations distribute the
workload of updating multiple signs to more people, in a secure
fashion, and without sacrificing an organization’s unique business
rules. The Apantac Multiviewer creates opportunities for
organizations to blend existing subscription-based live programming
with WEGENER CompelConnect.com™ digital signage. The iPump library
mode is an updated approach to accessing stored videos on WEGENER
iPump media players. The new library mode supports re-skinable
on-screen-display graphics, a full featured remote control and
links to a web interface.
“Compel® network control and iPump® media players are great
building blocks for scalable digital signage applications,” quoted
Troy Woodbury, President and CEO of Wegener Corporation. “Solid
engineering gives us flexibility to continuously launch new
features on existing equipment, such as the Open Ingest solution
and iPump library mode.”
In addition to booth demonstrations, WEGENER will lead four
presentations at the 2011 Digital Signage Expo.
Wednesday, February 23rd at 10:45am, Ken Leffingwell, WEGENER
Vice President of Worldwide Sales, will present an on-floor
workshop titled “Urgent Broadcasts.” The presentation will review
different network options to replace scheduled digital signage
content with urgent messages, such as, corporate announcements,
