StrandVision LLC, a leading internet based digital signage company, is introducing a fully digital, high-definition (HD) personal computer-to-television adapter for use with its digital signage offering and for many other applications. Called PC-2-TV.net, the HD solution includes an adapter (PCA) at the personal computer that is paired with a receiving adapter (TVA) at the television monitor; the adapters are connected via a standard CAT5 or CAT6 network cable, either directly or through standard network appliances.
PC-2-TV.net simplifies wiring for corporate digital signage networks, enabling users to easily and inexpensively extend digital signage content to multiple displays. It works over corporate Local Area Networks. A dedicated network is recommended for streaming digital signage video content. This type of set-up supports up to four different video streams and a virtually unlimited number of receivers. PC-2-TV.net simultaneously displays the same video content that is shown on the computer monitor on the television monitor(s).
Beyond digital signage
In addition to one-way HD video transmission, the adapters support two-way communications. The PC-2-TV.net TVA includes standard mouse and keyboard connections, as well as audio in and out ports providing full remote control of the host personal computer.
For instance, a presenter in a meeting room could remotely control a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, select a video clip, or call up streaming video from the Web to be shown on an LCD or plasma display in the room. An administrator of a digital signage system could control the display from any TVA-equipped location to adjust the digital signage content or look. Transmitter inputs can also be disabled to eliminate access and make the system more secure
Added features include a built-in infrared (IR) receiver and an input for an attached IR sensor on the TVA that enables viewers to use appropriately equipped remote controls, such as the Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition (MCE) remotes, and pointing devices, to communicate with the host personal computer.
StrandVision will be featuring PC-2-TV.net at InfoComm in its booth (# N7058) in the Digital Signage area. PC-2-TV.net, including both one (1) PCA and one (1) TVA unit, is available immediately for $249.99 plus S/H directly from StrandVision through the http://www.pc-2-tv.net Web site. Additional TVA units are available for $149.99 plus S/H.
