ISE 2016: Day 2 Impressions February 10, 2016 by Dave Haynes When I return home this weekend, I fully expect my spouse to inform me that she arranged for the kid next door to write a digital signage CMS while I was away, because everyone else on the block had done one, and it would have been embarrassing if we were the only ones without one. …
ISE Impressions: Day 1 February 9, 2016 by Dave Haynes Integrated Systems Europe is one big trade show – far bigger than InfoComm and many multiples the size of Digital Signage Expo. It has a similar flavour to InfoComm, in that you have lots of companies showing what they do in other areas of pro AV – like microphones and conference systems – that have …
Looking Ahead To ISE February 5, 2016 by Dave Haynes Integrated Systems Europe is a trade show I’ve regularly thought about attending, but have never done – much of that owing to it being on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. But … I’d heard enough about ISE that I finally went ahead and did it, and will be there next week for the …

Looking Ahead To ISE January 13, 2016 by Dave Haynes I’m starting to get my head together for what will be my first time at Integrated Systems Europe, which is in Amsterdam in less than a month. Flight booked. AirBnB place arranged. I’ve even scoped out how I could maybe go see a Dutch pro football (soccer) match – PSV Eindhoven v FC Utrecht, if anyone else …
Samsung Uses Robotics For Transformable Video Walls January 11, 2016 by Dave Haynes Digital signage vet Tom McGowan was at CES last week – taking great advantage of avoiding most of the mayhem and high costs, because he lives south of the airport in Las Vegas and knows how to get to and from the LVCC with minimal fuss. He said he was interested in going not so …
Samsung Shows Off Mirror LCDs, Transparent OLEDs At CES January 7, 2016 by Dave Haynes I’ve been following all the tech writing coming from CES, and from my narrow perspective, LG seems to be getting more attention than Samsung when it comes to displays. LG has the bendy OLED and the double-sided OLED, and LG has certainly put more of a focus on OLED than its Korean rival in the past …
Worth Watching: Select Videos Up From Four Winds’ Forward Conference January 6, 2016 by Dave Haynes Four Winds Interactive did a very nice, polished job last fall with Forward, a two-day conference in hometown Denver that went well beyond the typical software company user conference. It was education instead of indoctrination. I went to it, and learned a lot more than what was on the company’s product roadmap. The marketing department put …
