Campsite integrates with Signagelive
Campsite has integrated with Signagelive to provide new rev- enue opportunities for Digital Out-of-Home network owners and operators. This integration means that Signagelive’s cli- ents can now connect to buyers through their access to Camp- site’s supply-side platform (SSP).
This represents the
first full integration of a large- scale CMS with an established buying platform specialising in
digital out-of-home media available in Canada. By enabling the integration
with Campsite, Signagelive can now offer its clients the option of tapping into a new revenue stream through programmatic sales. The media sellers decide how much advertising time they wish to ‘offer up’ to Campsite and control the type of content they wish to allow to be shown on their displays. This option is available to all Signagelive cli-
ents starting with Canada and will roll out to other markets throughout 2018 and beyond. Launched in 2016, Camp-
site’s products include an SSP for sellers, an exchange mar- ketplace, and a DSP for buyers. With over 8000 digital screens across an array of suppliers and environments already connect- ed, Campsite has the largest selection of DOOH in a single platform in Canada.
Buyers using the DSP can build campaigns using various targeting tools, including mo- bile audience data. These au- dience insights are also shared with Signagelive clients, the media sellers, within the Camp- site SSP. The first Signagelive client launching with Campsite is IDS Canada who are making their digital poster network in doctor’s office waiting rooms available to Campsite buyers.
Datapath’s application sharing enhanced
Datapath added three new features to its innovative Quant collaborative applica- tion sharing software. Quant is described as ideal for general business
collaboration where
project teams can work on the same document in real-time from different locations. Operation-critical control rooms benefit from using Quant because it allows users on the same network to view physical sources connected to a video wall controller, wherever they are. This gives them access to
up-to-the-second informa- tion leading to better-informed
cantly to Quant’s usability and functionality. • Chat Function Allows users to message one another about the application window shared and enables ongoing dialogue between users.
• Meeting Function Allows a user to lock either their own desktop or a Quant controlled video wall to a selected set of users. In a video wall scenario, a meeting organiser can deter- mine who can share to the wall for instant viewing and avoid accidental sharing from others. This also increases security within meetings for shared vid-

Powered ceiling speakers get Bluetooth
Vision’s 2 x 30w power loud- speakers have just received a Bluetooth upgrade. The new ad- vanced Bluetooth chipset can be re-named, and the pin can be set via PC software. The speakers can automatical- ly switch to the Bluetooth input when they pair. If the phone rings during a presentation Bluetooth reverts to the hand- set during the call. And there is no limit to the number of devic- es it can pair with; it has eight memory slots so the latest new device to connect replaces the oldest record.
The CS-1800P is a master-slave powered speaker set with one wired input, a Bluetooth input, a remote control, and RS-232 control. Many pairs can be daisy-chained to server larger rooms. It features optional auto standby, and when power is cy- cled it automatically returns to the same input and level. The new model is shipping now at a price of SSP GBP 269/ EUR 339 / USD 529 including a lifetime warranty.
Datapath Product Manager, Matthew Tibbitt, said: “Quant offers something truly unique to the collaboration market- place - the ability to manage and share applications from a central source and view on a single end-point or a video wall. The scope it brings to control rooms is of huge bene- fit to organisations of all sizes." Quant’s capabilities also al- low users to view and share application windows, as well as interact and make changes to original source files, even if the third party does not have the application software installed. As this is all done on a peer-to- peer network, there is no load or potentially sensitive traffic on IT department servers. The three features; Chat, Meeting and Quant Curtain enhancements all add signifi-
Sapphire has launched a new version of the STRV102D and STRV102L AV cabinets, with front and rear access. This was in response to feedback from customers, the enhancements make it easier to access the rear of products stored in the cabinet, facilitating quicker and easier in- stallation. There are rack mount- sas optional extras for these units.
• Quant Curtain has updated features to allow an easier and smoother navigation experi- ence. A button in the curtain enables users to add or remove shared desktops quickly. A Fa- vourites option enables priori- tising the users most frequently interacted with, so that their desktops appear in the naviga- tion curtain automatically. Matthew Tibbitt added: “These new features will great- ly enhance the user experience of Quant as well as adding to the software’s ease of use and security. We are constantly working on ways to improve our products and our
help us by actively requesting new
features and
customers revisions.
Their feedback is vital and Dat- apath are fortunate to have an active and engaged user com- munity working with us.”
