FNM GROUP EXTENDS TVIP DIGITAL COMMUNICATION PLATFORM

TVIP-Director, Aitek's platform for the management and transmission of multimedia contents based on NEXCOM
NDiS 161 Digital Signage Player has been chosen for the new ISOLATUA^® digital communication system, designed and developed by VIENORD, a company of the FNM Group.

The system, designed by a team of companies led by the HPNG group, established in Brescia, is based on the starting up of over 500 digital totems and LCD displays in the railway stations of the FERROVIENORD rail network, for the transmission of passenger information, entertainment contents and advertisements.

Thanks to the technological partnership with Fida SpA, a leading company in the production of outdoor monitors and supplier of the totems and display screens installed at the FERROVIENORD stations, it was possible to integrate the player within the equipment structure, with significant savings in installation and maintenance costs.

The platform allows to activate new, high-impact communication channels towards significant flows of users (an average of over 400 thousands passengers per day in the 8 stations, scattered across Milan downtown, the hinterland and the North-West of Lombardia).

TVIP-Director is Aitek's platform for Digital Signage that allows to build up TV-like channels according to the allnews typical format. It is an end-to-end modular and complete solution, consisting of ingestion applications integrated in high-performance servers and multimedia players with embedded software for LCD displays management. A content-and-asset management application allows the management of live/recorded contents (movies, videoclips, flashes, etc.) and textual information (messages, slideshows, feed rss), broadcasting on the players and the sending of streams and contents on the displays network.
