Viewsonic’s Digital Signage In-A-Box Creates An Out-Of-The-Box Experience

Industry’s First Sub-$1,000 All-In-One Solution is Ideal for SMBs


LAS VEGAS, June 2008 – Building on the success of its CD series digital signage line, ViewSonic® Corp. today introduced the DSM3210 Digital Signage Multimedia display to provide an affordable, user-friendly, PC based communication and entertainment solution for restaurants, schools, hotels and business lobbies. The DSM3210 features a 32-inch multimedia LCD TV exclusive OEM software solution to provide users with an option for brilliant signage that is flexible, easy-to-use and cost effective, replacing expensive traditional print displays.

During this week’s InfoComm 2008 trade show in Las Vegas, the company is showcasing the DSM3210, which features a high-definition multimedia display with full connectivity – including a HDTV tuner, HDMI inputs and VGA connection – along with authoring, packaging and presentation software to create a complete digital signage and multimedia visual entertainment experience. The software is an all-in-one Windows-based tool that allows for easy design and development, time scheduling and content distribution. It also has built-in monitoring diagnostics to ensure seamless 24/7 operation.

“The trend of ‘infotainment’ is predicted to increasingly influence consumers as display technology and information imagery converge,” said Steve Woo, vice president and general manager of VTV Consumer Electronics Products Division, ViewSonic. “Until now digital signage ROI has been questionable for small- to medium-sized businesses. With our award-winning display line and goal to create the ultimate visual experience, ViewSonic’s low-cost DSM3210 makes it possible for companies to experience the value of delivering information that is also entertaining.”

The DSM3210 solution is designed for small- to mid-size installations where point-of-sale advertising or mass communication is used like in hotel lobbies, college campuses and healthcare facilities. By employing a HDTV as the display piece of the digital signage solution, ViewSonic has designed a first of its kind, sub-$1,000 flexible solution that offers multiple inputs to connect computers, TV set-top-boxes, DVD players, HD video cameras, as well as a live HDTV terrestrial broadcast. Organizations can also use the 32-inch HDTV features for videoconferencing, theater setups and classroom presentations.

The DSM3210, with an estimated street price of $999, will be available through authorized ViewSonic resellers in July. ViewSonic has multiple public display solutions available, and information, images, and authorized ViewSonic dealers can be found at www.ViewSonic.com or by calling 800.888.8583.
