Digital Signage: More than what meets the eyes!



The difference between yesterday and today is ‘Change’. From the breakfast bulletin to the evening emails, we come across various ways by which we make ourselves aware and stay connected.TV, web or mobile phones; today we all are well versed with these common ways of communication but a question still hits our minds-what more can technology offer in the communication domain? Is it mere convenience, cost effectiveness or something more meaningful?

Over the years, the limitation of interactivity, recurring production cost and time consumption tend to be the drawing factors and that’s where digital signage comes to rescue. Simple delivery of information, messages or advertisements to colleagues, students or customers is what digital signage is all about. It’s fast, reliable and cutting edge. Relaying even a ‘PowerPoint’ presentation or a professional digital signage package on LCD screens or simply through video walls defines the digital signage mode of communication.

Not merely PowerPoint presentations

A common misbelief states that all a digital signage player does, is play back office presentations. It’s indeed an incomplete statement. Actually, it’s the new age trendsetting mode of communication at an affordable cost. Whether it’s animated images, weather forecasts or breaking news, the digital platform delivers an intelligent projection which matches all kinds of visual flavours. Truknox technologies, a Delhi based digital signage hub came up with the revolutionary signage software, Tru-i Suite to encompass the above mentioned facets and deliver dynamic presentations for meeting the ever growing digital needs.

Necessity is the mother of invention

Let’s not forget the traditional media options; print, billboards etc. There has been tremendous progress in this environment and the benefits are many. But a trait that still out-smarts the conventional media is dynamism. This need was felt long time back. An Indian player in the digital arena, Truknox Technologies rightly bridged the gap by floating Tru-i suite-a path-breaking signage software. The basic objective wasn’t just to lure the spectator but to offer a bundled package which is full of catchy visuals, informative content and on the move capability to update itself. Whether it’s the on-going offers in a retail store or news that’s making headline; delivering right there and then to the captive audience in the minimum expense of time and money is the key in this market.

What you see is what you get

The huge LCD’s placed around the surroundings of heavy footfall are only effective when they relay impressive capsule. A digital signage novice user needs a hassle free content production, scheduling and execution. All these are possible if one can tap a one-stop solution provider. Not an emerging player but having a stronghold in the digital landscape, Truknox Technologies has been offering expeditious hardware solutions, proprietary software services and turnkey offerings too for optimum output.

The making of a trend-Narrowcasting

A deep stick study was also done by Truknox Technologies to understand the market dynamics. In today’s hyper-competitive market, the audience is getting smarter and choosy day by day and in such a case there needs to be a smart communication which is a step ahead from its viewer base. So the end take out is that the future is all about broad thinking and narrowcasting. This trend is defying the conscious of many and paving its way to super seed the conventional mode of infotainment. Moreover, falling prices of the display technology, future ready hardware fabrication and readily available internet bandwidth are a few assets that strengthen this medium of experience. This observation has also helped Delhi Metro to get digitised and the credit surely goes to Truknox.

On a concluding note, it can be stated affirmatively that benefits from such a channel of communication are diverse and ever growing; certainly which make up as the elements for building a simpler tomorrow.
