Applications

The ViziFrame System was designed with four general applications in mind:

• A general purpose digital signage solution combining live and static graphics running in a small PC attached to large LCD/Plasma displays

• A turn-key local weather channel display for live web graphics provided by IntelliWeather

• A simple cable TV channel combining live and static graphics into an NTSC or PAL composite video output

• A digital picture frame system that combines stored and live web imagery

As far as specific applications go, ViziFrame can be used for:

Retail	Government	Education	Travel
Point of Sale advertising	City Cable TV channel	School lunch menu	Hotel Lobby Kiosk
Food court menus	Meetings Schedule Kiosk	School events billboard	Hotel Meetings and Events
End-cap promotions	Building directory	In-school cable TV channel	Hotel Cable TV channel
Window billboards	Events billboard	District wide TV channel	Restaurant Ads
Gas Station TV	Visitor TV channel/kiosk	University Events Channel	Truck Stop Weather Channel

The ViziFrame Appliance can be connected to most SVGA phosphor or LCD monitors, flat panel LCD displays, flat panel plasma displays, projection TV's, DLP TV's and any other device capable of displaying computer video via a DB15 SVGA connector.

Additionally, if the ViziFrame Hardware is equipped with it, you can output video TV's, cable systems, projections TV's etc. You can output NTSC or PAL composite or S-Video (Y/C component video) from the ViziFrame Server Appliance directly. Separate scan converters to convert SVGA to NTSC video can also be used.

When the ViziFrame Appliance is set to fetch images via FTP or HTTP protocol via the Internet or from a file server on your LAN, it checks to see if a newer image exists on the server, and downloads and displays it automatically when a new file is detected. Images that have been downloaded are automatically stored in a local image cache in the ViziFrame server to reduce bandwidth requirements.

This makes it easy to update hundreds of ViziFrames by simply publishing news images to a single web server location used by all ViziFrames.
