Visix Adds APPOINTwmv to Digital Signage Software Offering

    ATLANTA, GA, June 05, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Building on the success of Visix's APPOINT PowerPoint scheduling software for digital signage, the company has launched a niche version of the product - APPOINTwmv.

APPOINTwmv is tailored to clients who already have digital signage software that either isn't easy to use, or who prefer to create their content in PowerPoint. It allows users to publish their presentations as videos from APPOINTwmv and schedule them for playback in any content management scheduling system.

"This is a great product for anyone frustrated by complicated creative tools in their software," says Sean Matthews, President of Visix. "Almost every digital signage user is creating at least some of their messages in PowerPoint. This gives them a fast, easy way to render those presentations for quick scheduling."

APPOINTwmv renders PowerPoint presentations faster than the PowerPoint export feature, and allows you to continue working in PowerPoint while rendering.

Users can also select templates from APPOINTwmv's professionally-designed theme library, create messages from those templates, and render them out as videos that can be imported into any signage application. APPOINTwmv includes everything in APPOINT with the exception of scheduling and player controls.

APPOINTwmv is priced at $299 for a single user license and can be purchased online at www.appointsignage.com.

Visix Delivers Animation, Hot Spots and Full-Screen Kiosk Support in AxisTV v.8.2 Digital Signage Software Release

    ATLANTA, GA, June 05, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Visix, Inc. has unveiled a major update to its flagship digital signage software application, AxisTV version 8.2. The release includes support for animated layout backgrounds, hot spots and full-screen kiosk capability.

"These feature additions are a direct result of client feedback," says Tony Martin, Chief Operations Officer for Visix. "Digital signage customers are no longer satisfied to just push RSS feeds and videos into blocks on the screen. They want beautiful, dynamic screen elements and interactivity in order to offer POS services and motivate their audience to take action."

ANIMATED LAYOUT BACKGROUNDS
AxisTV allows users to configure multi-zone layouts within the software's Layout Editor. When creating a layout, users choose a layout background design that sits behind their content playlists.

The new feature allows layout creators to choose either a single video created as a video loop or a list of video files intended to play back-to-back as a seamless animation for their background. This adds sophistication to the screen design and draws attention to playlists for improved messaging success.

HOT SPOTS & FULL SCREEN KIOSKS
As many as 75% of digital signage prospects ask for full-screen kiosk support. Many software vendors require custom creative services to accomplish this, but Visix has incorporated hot spots and full-screen kiosk support into their content management software for convenience and economy.

AxisTV version 8.2 allows users to insert a hot spot in the layout editor that will respond to either mouse clicks or touch using easy wizard selectors:
- Choose shape as rectangle, circle or rounded rectangle
- Choose size and location in the layout
- Choose the hot spot image from a library
- Enter the action parameters
- Specify a timeout to switch back to the player

Hot spots offer player actions - such as stop or reboot - as well as switching to full-screen kiosk applications. Common kiosk applications are room booking, queuing management, interactive wayfinding, and point-of-sale systems.

Parties interested in purchasing or upgrading to AxisTV v.8.2 should contact salesteam@visix.com.
