Server Upgrades
We just went through a server upgrade for our primary web server at http://www.strandvision.com. Our previous server was on-line for over 5 years and it looks like the company went out of business (although the server ran perfectly). Since we were not able to get support tickets handled at all, we s...

People look for solutions
Over the past several weeks, I am continually reminded that people look for complete solutions, not just a piece of a solution. There are a few innovators out there who will take pieces from lots of places to save money or to get something done. It appears that most people want the total solution. W...

Re: Images not deleted from my signage
It does take about 2 minutes for the content to change. Has it been that long? Another possibility is that your cache is setup to keep it too long. If you go to the player computer, run Internet Explorer (it must be Internet Explorer, not firefox, chrome or others). Click on tools, internet options....

There are some that do a great job and others that do not even return a prospect's call for information (mine). We firmly believe in (and have seen the benefit of) being responsive to customers...

What news content is available for digital signage?
There are millions if not billions of RSS feeds on the Internet. Most are no updated often, but some are. There are many consolidators of feeds as well (search engines being the biggest consolidators). The lesser updated feeds will almost always "love" it if you display their feed to the p...

How users interact with StrandVision
I was recently asked how users interact with their signage accounts. The software interacts with the users by logging into their personal signage account on the strandvision.com web site. They specify the content that they want to see on their screens and if desired, the schedule that they will appe...

Re: Why do pictures look terrible?
yes, your marketing people are right. I will try to put it into English and give you some alternatives to have it look better. If you click on the thumbnail of the image (when you are signed into your account), a new window will pop up showing image details. The logo you are working with is 132 pixe...

I asked my marketing people and they started on things like hi res, low res pictures/images etc etc. Didn...
