Extending your signage solutions

When a customer spends what can be a small fortune on a digital signage solution for their office or shop one thing which sometimes slips the mind is the cabling and how far the image has to travel to reach the display is sometimes an afterthought. Digital signage can be a more simplistic solution than you might first think with lots of hardware providers partnering with software providers or offering their own. E.g. the Hewlett Packard and Scala partnership or Samsung ‘s Magic Net and Sony’s Ziris software. But resellers looking to break into this market need to consider signal extension when the player is not adjacent to the display. Across 30 meters the quality of the image can be drastically reduced which will diminish the user experience of the display and not show of the capabilities of the hardware and software to their full advantage.

The Cyan range of signal extension products from Magenta should be considered part of any basic solution, providing a cost effective method of signal extension and distribution over UTP/Cat5 cable.
