DSE 2013 Impressions March 3, 2013 by Dave Haynes I try to write a daily set of impressions from my time at DSE each year, and my first impression is that I was way too freakin’ busy to write up my impressions. I think I was in the press room twice on Day 1 and once on Day 2. So, back at the bait …
Video: Simple, Effective Sponsor Messaging March 2, 2013 by Dave Haynes One of the things we did at the DSE mixer earlier this week was run promo/branding videos for all the sponsors. It was, we thought, more effective than trying to SHOUT OVER THE CROWD to thank the sponsors verbally. Saw that at another cocktail party. Doesn’t work. People keep talking. We did one for ourselves, …
Ronin Needs New Investment To Keep Lights On Past Q2 March 2, 2013 by Dave Haynes Wireless Ronin released its financials last week and the software company now appears to be in particularly difficult circumstances – needing new money in to fund operations beyond the next three months. Year to year revenue was down from $9.3 million to $6.7 million in 2012 and sales in the past quarter were only up …
More DSE Vids Coming March 1, 2013 by Dave Haynes My video guys from Studio 10 shot two more show floor videos with me yesterday and they should be up this weekend. We couldn’t do it until the show was just about closed down, so there was not time to edit, unless they opted to edit instead of tear it up last night. Last I …

The show will be two weeks earlier next year, and relocated at the Sands Expo, which is just at the back-end of the Palazzo and Venetian. The move …
Photo: Arsenal Media’s 11 Trophy DSE Award Haul March 1, 2013 by Dave Haynes I don’t have the overall release but I did get one from Arsenal Media, which hauled in 11 awards at the Digital Signage Expo project and creative awards the other night in Las Vegas. The Arsenal Media team won was 4 Gold, 4 Silver and 3 Bronze. I don’t think any other companies even approached that …
DSE2013 Video Blog: The Rise Of Android Boxes February 28, 2013 by Dave Haynes I have a face, and particularly a chin, that’s made for radio, but I nonetheless took a first real stab at video blogging with my good, hyper-talented friends from Studio 10 in cold, flat and happy Regina, Saskatchewan. They did some work with us last year and came back to LV for a couple of …
Harris Still Ticking; Dealer TV Driving License Deals February 27, 2013 by Dave Haynes Harris was pretty much written off as done in mid-2013 after the parent company announced it was divesting its Harris Broadcast division, which included digital signage. But the company is still very much around, has a booth at DSE, and is making inroads with some clients. Probably the most notable is in the deal done …
