Why digital instead of analog?Why digital instead of analog?

No image-degrading signal loss over long cable runs Simplicity - no distance-tiered receiver variants necessary No equalization (‘tuning’) or skew compensation required Reduces dependence on cable and connector quality No hum-causing ground loops (audio) No ghosting (video) No complex installation of amplifiers, isolation transformers etc. Signage content is already digital

Why use a standard Ethernet protocol?Why use a standard Ethernet protocol?

Forwardly-compatible as Ethernet technology advances, no obsolesence

Uses cost-effective CAT5e cable (approx 1/8th cost of coax) Allows integration of low-cost devices such as switches, fiber

extenders, IP cameras, NAS etc Compatible with existing data networks Infinitely expandable Easily understood by IT technicians & Network Administrators Simple installation & setup, uses proven techniques such as

Auto IP discovery and addressing

Media content from single or multiple sources plays synchronously at every assigned display on the network

Less than 3-frame latency supports full-motion video and live camera feeds with excellent audio sync

‘Conductor’ software GUI provides scheduling and dynamic ‘drag & drop’ assignment of content streams to specific receivers without loss of synchronization

Slide shows, ‘flip book’ animations and audio tracks can be uploaded from the host PC to individual receivers via the ‘Conductor’ software application

‘LocalPlay’ media auto-plays whenever the LAN connection is lost or the stream purposefully suspended – each receiver plays its own content until the LAN is restored or the stream restarted

Suspend & restart times for each receiver can be independently scheduled using ‘Conductor’

Software independent - Emergency and informational messages (including audio) can be instantly transmitted to all displays connected to the voLANte network

Allows for pre-stored AV content and also provides for direct user input (e.g. ‘Tornado Approaching’ )

Immediately bypasses all ‘LivePlay’, ‘LocalPlay’ and ‘HostPlay’ media

Implementation can be from the host PC or from a network-attached PC
