 | Le puissant portail de X2O Media prend maintenant en charge OpenSplash ™ Media Player | Montreal - June 11, 2012 — X2O Media, a provider of digital signage software and content services, today announced that as part of its “Open Content Management Framework,” the company has released an OpenSplash™ Player, which now fully integrates with the X2O Portal.
Supporting video walls, screen zoning with overlapping and depth order, and dynamic content, OpenSplash is a free, multiplatform, open-source media player designed to be driven by any network-based content management system. With the X2O Portal, OpenSplash users now have access to a comprehensive user management system that allows digital signage network administrators to manage content from a browser-based interface, define user roles and permissions, and limit access to specific portal features, player locations, and content. The new combined solution supports most industry-standard formats and protocols such as HTTP, SSL, FTP, XML, and RSS.
“We are excited to add OpenSplash to the rapidly growing list of third-party players supported by the X2O Portal,” said X2O Media President and CEO David Wilkins. “For network operators, having a variety of players all controlled from one central content management system significantly reduces operating costs, while providing a wide variety of display solutions.”
The X2O Portal is a comprehensive, cloud-based platform for managing and scheduling all content — including images, videos, graphics, and live data — from social media and other sources on digital signage networks of any size. By combining content management with network monitoring and customizable reporting features, the platform provides unprecedented power through a user-friendly, browser-based interface that greatly reduces the resources and time required to set up, control, and maintain a digital signage network.
X2O Media will be demonstrating the integration of the X2O Portal with OpenSplash in booth N1541 at InfoComm 2012.

| La technologie Xpresenter à l'honneur au Legends Entertainment District. Des écrans géants LED propulsé par un réseau d'affichage dynamique numérique conçu par X2O Media aide à dynamiser le centre-ville de Phoenix avec la diffusion de contenu de qualité, des Diamondbacks de l'Arizona, du Phoenix Suns et bien plus encore | Montreal - April 10, 2012 — X2O Media, a full-service provider of software, network management, and content services for real-time visual communication applications, today announced that its Xpresenter™ digital signage platform is powering the Legends Entertainment District's extensive digital LED network in downtown Phoenix. For the unique 55,000-square-foot outdoor marketing and entertainment district, Xpresenter is being used to display targeted broadcast-quality content from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Phoenix Suns, and their content partners on full-color, full-motion LED boards, in addition to live news, weather, and more for scrolling tickers.
In an unprecedented partnership between two professional sports teams, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Phoenix Suns teamed up to create the Legends Entertainment District to energize downtown Phoenix, attract visitors, and keep them in the area longer before and after events. Spanning from the US Airways Center to Chase Field, a key feature of the district is a state-of-the-art digital LED network that keeps visitors entertained and updated throughout the area, while creating advertising revenue and providing outdoor marketing opportunities for Legends' partners.
“Content management is a vital aspect of our LED network,” said Stacie Roberts, Director of Operations of the Legends Entertainment District. “It is essential that our staff be able to update content quickly and easily to capture the attention of visitors, in addition to having the ability to target different content to the appropriate LED boards. To meet these needs, we chose X2O Media's Xpresenter digital signage platform.”
Among a mix of static and custom signage, two massive LED tickers on the Jefferson Street parking garage grace the corridor between the US Airways Center and Chase Field. Xpresenter is delivering five different types of live content to the 4-foot by 125-foot displays —sports from around the country, news, entertainment, business, and weather. The tickers feature additional full-color, full-motion, LED running content such as ticket information on upcoming games for the Diamondbacks or Suns; dates for upcoming concerts in the Legends Entertainment District; or paid content from partners such as Anheuser-Busch, APS, Chevrolet, Fox Sports Arizona, Fry's Food Stores, Cox, FIAT, Arizona Rattlers, Gila River Casinos, and more.
There are three 50-foot towers located outside Chase Field and the US Airways Center, each featuring three 13-foot by 22-foot LED boards, in addition to top and bottom LED halo rings. The towers display 30-second content segments from each facility's respective team, the Legends Entertainment District, and content partners, and the bottom halos also feature scrolling tickers. In addition, a giant 35-foot by 73-foot LED board, dubbed the “Big Board,” is featured on Chase Field's façade and displays District content.
“The Legends Entertainment District has been a huge success, and Xpresenter has certainly played a central role in achieving that,” added Roberts. “The platform provides the ease of use and targeting capabilities we require, in addition to displaying broadcast-quality content. Furthermore, X2O is providing the RSS feeds that automatically populate tickers with real-time weather, scores, and more. We look forward to working with the company as we continue to grow and add more functionality to the network.”
X2O Media's Xpresenter is an end-to-end platform designed to make creating, managing, and distributing broadcast-quality digital signage content on networks of all sizes available to all. Xpresenter's patented authoring module allows Microsoft® PowerPoint® users to produce compelling content that incorporates animations, video clips, and real-time data sources — all within the PowerPoint interface. |

| Une première Québécoise en Affichage numérique-Le réseau d'affichage numérique du CSSS de Sept-Îles, propulsé par Xpresenter, diffuse du contenu en Innus. | Montréal, le 19 avril 2012- Les Consultants MELTING ICECUBE, société spécialisée dans les systèmes graphiques pour la télédiffusion et l'affichage dynamique numérique, annonce l'implantation de d'un réseau d'affichage numérique au CSSS de Sept-Îles, permettant ainsi au Comité des Usagers et à la direction de l'établissement d'informer les usagers du CLSC et de l'hôpital de Sept-Îles sur divers sujets tel que : les droits des usagers, le processus de tri à l'urgence et plusieurs autres.
La présence de d'une importante communauté Montagnaise sur le territoire desservie par le CSSS de Sept-Îles, commandait l'obligation de diffuser le contenu dans les trois langues parlés sur le territoire. Créer du contenu d'affichage numérique en Innus posait un défi de taille le service de création de contenu des Consultants MELTING ICECUBE.
«Livrer des vidéos d'affichage numérique en Innus, posait une série de défis pour notre département graphique. Traduire le contenu ne suffit pas, il faut l'intégrer dans les vidéos et s'assurer que la transition des textes se fasse à la bonne place. Nous avons donc travaillé en étroite collaboration avec Mme Yvette Mollen de l'Institut Tshakapesh, qui a vérifié et revérifié les vidéo pour nous permettre de livrer un produit qui respecte la langue et la culture Innus » de dire Marc Lapierre, président et chef de la direction des Consultants MELTING ICECUBE.
Ce projet a permis aux Consultants MELTING ICECUBE de développer une expertise en création de contenu multilingue. L'entreprise québécoise se positionne donc comme un leader canadien en affichage dynamique numérique, capable de livrer des réseaux clé en main dans les réseaux de la santé de l'ensemble des régions canadiennes.

The annual DSE Content Awards honor innovative and compelling content created for digital signage and digital out-of-home networks.

"We developed our Velocity News Network application of digital signage as a way to reach a widely dispersed workforce with important company information.

Twitter feeds are displayed as tickers and in other formats on the displays. Furthermore, by scanning on-screen QR codes with their devices, students can respond to polls or be directed to a specific website.

| Les Consultants MELTING ICECUBE démontrent leur savoir-faire dans l'évènementiel, un tournoi de golf, quatre lieux différents | Montréal,
le 28 août 2009
Le 27 août, les artisans du Tournoi TELUS du Cercle d'Affaires Gaspésien, organisé dans le cadre du 475e anniversaire de Gaspé, ont réussi un exploit remarquable : réunir près de 500 golfeurs et gens d'affaires, répartis dans quatre villes, Gaspé, Carleton-sur-Mer, Québec et Montréal, par le biais de la technologie. La webdiffusion en mode bidirectionnelle a été confiée à l'entreprise PQM de Rimouski. Les Consultants Melting IceCube se sont vus confier la gestion du projet et des communications. Un réseau d'affichage dynamique numérique a été mis en place pour afficher la visibilité des commanditaires en plus d'assurer la circulation d'informations dans les quatre sites. La collaboration de TELUS a été requise pour permettre l'établissement des liens T1 dans les quatre clubs de golf participants.
Après une partie de golf sur leurs terrains respectifs, tout ce beau monde a pu fraterniser le soir par l'entremise d'un écran géant. Ainsi, à tour de rôle, les porte-paroles de chacune des régions ont exprimé la fierté gaspésienne aux quatre coins de la province.
" Le concept de ce tournoi a vraiment permis d'établir une synergie entre les participants et d'en faire un tournoi unique, souligne Marc Lapierre, président chez Les Consultants Melting IceCube. Melting IceCube et PQM ont ainsi pu démontrer leurs savoir-faire et se positionner favorablement devant TELUS et une panoplie de gens influents au Québec. "
De Gaspé à Montréal pour une bonne cause
À Gaspé, le président d'honneur, l'historien Jules Bélanger, a livré un récit passionnant de l'histoire de la Gaspésie en mentionnant que la force de la région réside dans la fierté de ses habitants.
Du côté de Carleton-sur-Mer et de Québec, les présidences d'honneur étaient assurées par des anciens joueurs des Nordiques de Québec, Louis Sleigher et Alain Côté, tous deux Gaspésiens d'origine. M. Sleigher y est allé d'un court discours bien senti sur la fierté gaspésienne. Selon lui : il y a deux genres de personnes dans le monde, les Gaspésiens et ceux qui voudraient bien l'être.
À Montréal, le célèbre commandant de bord Robert Piché avait une excellente raison de se réjouir du succès de l'évènement : les fonds recueillis lors de ce tournoi seront versés à sa fondation au bénéfice de la Cité de la Réhabilitation. Cet établissement propose à des individus aux prises avec un problème d'alcool, de drogues ou de jeu pathologique, un processus de réhabilitation sur une période pouvant aller jusqu'à cinq ans, avec une intégration dans le milieu de vie de la région Matapédia et les Plateaux.
La vice-première ministre, Nathalie Normandeau, a d'ailleurs profité de l'occasion pour réitérer son appui à la Cité de la Réhabilitation tout en félicitant le Cercle d'Affaires Gaspésien pour son initiative d'organiser un tournoi de golf à grand déploiement.

Representing an evolutionary leap in digital signage graphics, the platform is bolstered with support for multitouch touchscreens and for any resolution output - from single screens to giant multiscreen command centers and video walls.
The first-annual AV Technology End-User Awards recognize innovations that specifically benefit end-users, technology managers, and facility directors in all commercial sectors. A panel of esteemed judges selected the winners based on ease of use, reliability, overall network impact, and return on investment. In the category of “Best Use of AV in Emergency Preparedness,” X2O Media was a winner for the deployment of its Xpresenter software at WVU. According to the judges, the WVU installation was chosen because the “project represents a superb deployment of various technologies to meet a specific and critical need for emergency notification.”
At WVU, Xpresenter is powering a digital signage network spanning three campuses that assists in protecting the university's nearly 29,000 students and 7,900 faculty and staff members in the event of a campus emergency, in addition to providing current and pertinent information. With Xpresenter, the system typically displays daily events calendars, WVU news and information, WVU video productions, and current information on student organizations, special events, athletics, and social media feeds. In an emergency, an RSS feed from the WVU Department of Public Safety switches signage into emergency notification mode. Screens are interrupted to display emergency or weather alerts in predefined formats, along with current information and instructions.
