Minicom Completes Landmark Digital Signage Installation


JERUSALEM, December 5 /PRNewswire/ --

- Player-to-Screen Distribution System to Lower Yearly Operating Expenses 
by US$100,000

Minicom Advanced Systems (http://www.minicom.com), a global leader in 
multimedia distribution systems for digital signage, announced today that its 
DS Vision 3000 has been installed at a number of Landmark Theatres across the 
United States. The DS Vision 3000 (http://www.minicom.com) delivers rich 
multimedia content from the player to distant screens while maintaining 
perfect image and sound quality.

The solution, combined with the application power of the Reflect Systems
product, will lower yearly operating expenses for the Landmark digital
signage network by US$100,000. "I could not be more pleased with the Minicom
product and have begun the process of retrofitting our entire network with
the Minicom solution," Jason Hudak, Vice President of Technology for Landmark
Theatres said. "I expect that cost savings number to climb as we expand our
network," he added.

Landmark Theatres is the largest art house movie theater chain in the
United States. They currently have 58 theatres in 23 markets. A number of
locations have a digital signage network with high-definition content
delivered to the screens located throughout. Their previous distribution
system resulted in inconsistent video output to the screens.

"When installed in Landmark's upscale Harbor East development in
Baltimore, the DS Vision 3000 had a 100% success rate right out of the box,"
said Dave Haar, Vice President of Minicom's Digital Signage Division. "The
VGA solution requires half the physical cabling of the DVI/HDMI solution
Landmark was using and allows it to utilize 35% fewer servers to power its
displays. The Minicom solution requires significantly less electricity and
cabling, resulting in dramatically lower infrastructure requirements and
costs," Haar added.
