Press Release Summary: High-Definition Plasma Screens to be Centerpiece of Digital Signage Solution
Press Release Body: FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (March 24, 2008) - RMS Networks, the internet-based, digital media and marketing agency that develops, manages and delivers the most relevant video advertising segments to millions of consumers daily, has extended its relationship with Panasonic, reaffirming the manufacturer's role as the primary provider of display technology for RMS' digital signage networks.
Over the next 12 months, RMS will install thousands of high-definition Panasonic plasma screens in hundreds of automotive dealerships and retail locations nationwide. These will join the nearly 80,000 existing screens that RMS has connected to its digitally delivered video network located in high-traffic, high-visibility locations.
"Panasonic is a leader in the digital signage category. They've taken plasma technology from its infancy to the forefront of the industry," said Jay Wilson, Chief Technology Officer at RMS Networks in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "The most compelling attraction of the RMS digital signage network is the screens on which the content is displayed. With their proven plasma technology, unsurpassed reliability and track record of success, Panasonic is the natural choice for program expansion."
"At Panasonic, we've developed our technology to be ideally suited to the fast-evolving digital signage environment," said Frank Defina, President, Panasonic System Solutions Company. "We're pleased to be part of RMS' continued pioneering work in the field of in-store video content distribution."
RMS' digital network - and its proprietary rVue application - comprise a revolutionary solution that allows retailers to control in-store video programming with drag-and-drop ease. Selecting from thousands of product segments, advertisements, instructional videos and other content, programming then downloads via the internet and is played on high definition (HD) Panasonic monitors throughout the location.
Panasonic's advanced monitoring and control capabilities combined with rVue technology will ensure content playback in a trackable format-a very important feature in this constantly analyzed industry and critical for growth.
"This proof of playback is central to our proposition. Whether they're auto dealerships or retailers, our clients turn to us for reliability and innovation," Wilson said. "And we turn to vendors like Panasonic who constantly provide us with the latest advancements to deliver leading edge solutions."
In related news, RMS recently announced that its proprietary rVue video software will ship pre-loaded on Dell servers destined for installation as part of the RMS digital in-store signage network.
