"The strength and capability of Harris digital broadcast products fully support growth in new markets including AV, based on a complete portfolio of networking, infrastructure, test and measurement and other solutions that enable cost-effective, fully integrated advanced media workflows," said Tim Thorsteinson, president of Harris Broadcast Communications. "In particular, recent Harris digital signage wins including McDonald's and the Orlando Magic reflect emerging trends of businesses incorporating broadcast-quality video and/or branded digital TV services to entertain consumers and potentially generate new revenue."
Harris Punctuate, billed as the first traffic system for digital signage, will receive its InfoComm debut. Punctuate enables targeted placement of advertising content and inventory control to support business growth. Punctuate will be demonstrated with Harris InfoCaster systems for content creation, network management and media playout to show an end-to-end Harris Digital Signage solution that combines the tracking, selling and billing of digital signs with the automatic targeting of precise messages to specific signs across a multipoint digital signage network.
Harris infrastructure products on display include the X85 multiple application video/audio platform for managing analog, DTV, HDTV and surround-sound applications; the Panacea router for moving video and audio around facilities; and the latest 6800+ core processing muxes/demuxes and frame synchronizers to address common issues with non-synchronous audio and video signals. All products will be demonstrated with CCS Navigator software to enhance remote control capabilities.
