Digital Signage Kiosks and Vending Machines With Audio and Video Capabilities
Digital Signage Kiosks and Vending Machines With Audio and Video Capabilities
As digital kiosks become more popular, digital signage firms have been coupling digital audio and video with traditional user interfaces. A firm called Janus was the first company to create a multi-unit display system component for the hospitality industry. Janus' devices were installed to display guest event information and local area directions via a user friendly interface. In the beginning, these units broadcast only text; however, today's units showcase a state-of-the-art platform for seamless integration with event management software, downloaded video files, and network-based content. Janus' new LCD kiosks have the capability to broadcast custom advertisements for both on-site businesses and off-site, third party advertisers. This robust advertising ability is characteristic of the direction of the digital signage industry. It creates the potential for an additional source of income for growing businesses. The vending industry can also benefit from this approach by having its screens handle in-machine products as well as promotions for nearby businesses. This allows the digital signage network owner to monetize their space far better than ever before. This is a welcomed benefit for the vending industry.
