Real Digital Media Releases NEOCAST® Media Server 3.0
NEOCAST Media Server 3.0 enhancements bolster leadership position as the most precise and flexible centralized platform for establishing digital signage networks.
Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) January 15, 2007
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 a significant upgrade to its centralized NEOCAST® Media Server software. The enhancements build upon the economical and scalable store and forward design of the NEOCAST® solution, while improving the user interface, workflows, network management and campaign distribution functions.
NEOCAST® Media Server 3.0 introduces multiple new enhancements and features, and continues to incorporate the key constructs of campaigns, markets, schedules and collaboration to enable the efficient and precise distribution of content to NEOCAST® Media Players. Developed with input from active Real Digital Media customers, these enhancements ensure that present and future versions of NEOCAST® will stay at the forefront of customers' digital signage requirements.
"The 3.0 release of our NEOCAST® Media Server software comes at a time when the marketplace is clearly embracing the benefits of digital signage," said Ken Goldberg, CEO of Real Digital Media. "With input from our NEOCAST® User Group, the enhancements in this release are a response to the realities facing clients today, but also ensure NEOCAST® will continue to evolve and lead the market as new digital signage standards and demands emerge."
Marie Cooper, vice president of network operations at Kyle Private Networks, adds, "As a digital signage network owner, one of the most critical decisions is selecting a vendor that acts like a partner rather than simply a supplier. Real Digital Media is that partner for Kyle Private Networks. We've built our network using their NEOCAST® platform, and in turn, they've included us in their development process. This open dialogue gives us the confidence that Real Digital Media has our best interests as a client, and that their products will continue to grow in a direction that supports our business."
