Product Represents Company’s Next Generation Digital Signage and Narrowcast Network Media Player Appliance

Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) March 21, 2005 -- Real Digital Media (RDM), a leading provider of next generation digital signage products for establishing point-of-purchase marketing, promotions and corporate communication networks, today announced the official release of the newest member of the NEOCAST family of digital signage products, NEOCAST Media Player XF. NEOCAST Media Player XF maintains the reliability and scalability inherent in the NEOCAST Media Player X, but adds Macromedia certification to support Flash content and applications on a Linux-based appliance along with enhancements in processing power and content delivery capabilities. The product is being exhibited at Globalshop’s 2005 New Product Pavilion.

NEOCAST Media Player XF, together with the NEOCAST Media Server software, transforms displays into powerful, networked digital advertising, promotional and corporate communication networks. With NEOCAST media players and software, customized content and programming can target individual displays or scale across entire narrowcast networks, providing the ultimate flexibility to reach customers with targeted messaging at the right place, at the right time.

“Digital signage and narrowcast networks are fundamentally changing the interaction between advertisers and consumers,” said Jason Broom, Vice President, Marketing for Real Digital Media. "Advertisers and marketers have regained the power to inform, educate, and ultimately, influence the minds and hearts of their customers at the point-of-purchase. Meanwhile, customers are benefiting from timely messages that enhance their shopping experience. The NEOCAST product family was designed with these purposes in mind, and the release of the NEOCAST Media Player XF serves to reinforce our position as a leader in the digital signage market.”

Companies like Intown Television are using NEOCAST products to build narrowcast networks for their customers.

“Real Digital Media’s NEOCAST products allow us to deliver a scalable, end-to-end narrowcast network solution to our clients who are looking to improve the customer experience and differentiate themselves from their competition,” said Warren Brittingham, Intown Television. “We’re excited about the latest NEOCAST product release, as it provides another enabling technology designed to deliver the value of digital signage to our customers.”

With the convergence of numerous technologies, the total cost of ownership and estimated return from digital signage and narrowcast network investments have become more closely aligned to create a sound economic decision for the enterprise. Display prices are decreasing rapidly, networked digital signage products like the NEOCAST family are mature, digital media content is easily produced, and the requisite in-store bandwidth is largely in place.
