  • Navori Labs Bridges the Gap Between Smart Content Automation and Camera-Based Analytics at InfoComm

    Navori Labs Bridges the Gap Between Smart Content Automation and Camera-Based Analytics at InfoComm

    During InfoComm 2022, Navori Labs will put emphasis on merging the consumer-facing and business elements of digital signage and out-of-home media. Navori’s QL 2.7 software and groundbreaking Aquaji marketing analytics solution will make their North America debut on the tradeshow floor.

    “We were excited to return to the tradeshow circuit for ISE and now look forward to bringing our latest solutions to North American audiences at InfoComm, one of the most important global conferences for communicating new products and features to systems integrators and end users,” said Jerome Moeri, CEO, Navori Labs. “AI and computer vision technology have evolved substantially since trade shows temporarily ceased two years ago, and Navori Labs’ research and development in both over this period will be on full display. We are excited to unveil the power of Aquaji for driving intelligent business decisions and demonstrate the combined benefits of our technologies to enliven the customer experience.” 

    QL 2.7 introduces an expansive suite of new features that cross all core software elements, including a completely rewritten content management user interface, improved native media file support, and real-time data feed filtering. QL 2.7 also enables direct integration to Aquaji, which helps businesses and DOOH advertisers precisely measure in-store performance, strengthen operations, and improve customer experiences.

    Navori QL’s conditional triggering features, first introduced in a previous version, are now fully integrated to leverage Aquaji camera-produced data feeds in real-time. Conditional triggering functions are based on user-configured, data-driven rules to support dynamic, targeted content delivery for context-aware digital signage. Native integration between QL and Aquaji now helps users create and apply logic statements to automate content playout decisions.

    New for InfoComm, Aquaji has strengthened security and GDPR compliance in alignment with evolving privacy regulations worldwide. Features include the immediate and automatic blurring of facial features, ensuring the privacy of each consumer and staff member upon detection by any camera connected to Aquaji.

    Navori Labs will also demonstrate its latest hardware media player solution, the ultra-compact StiX 3700 Android media player device.  the Stix 3700 includes power-saving display control functions and broadcast-quality 4K rendering (60 frames per second) and enhances viewing experiences with flawless media transitions across all screens.

    Navori Labs has also recently completed the development of its latest StiX family device, the StiX 5700. StiX 5700 includes a new edge player solution that supports camera-based Aquaji analytics and professional-quality digital signage content in one low-cost, compact device. The device is positioned to bring the QL and Aquaji worlds even closer together.

  • Utelogy to Highlight New Technology and Platform Innovations for the Connected World at INFOCOMM 2022

    Utelogy to Highlight New Technology and Platform Innovations for the Connected World at INFOCOMM 2022

    Utelogy Corporation, a visionary provider of management, monitoring, and analytics software for the connected workspace, is returning to InfoComm in 2022 with a full exhibit planned to highlight its new product innovations and explosive company growth.

    Utelogy is coming off consecutive years of significant increases in YoY revenues and bookings of more than 270% as its international expansion continues. During that time, Utelogy has published a number of significant product releases that will be featured at InfoComm, including High Availability, U-Manage Analytic Tiles, Microsoft Teams Integration, and enhanced cybersecurity measures.

    The company will also highlight its Utelligence program for industry standards around security and agnosticity, as well as the “Utelogy beyond the conference room” initiative. This program is designed to integrate its platform with other elements of the workplace such as booking systems for deeper analytics, IoT, and BYOD to support the ever-growing hybrid workforce.

    “Utelogy is responding to the needs of an increasingly connected and technology-reliant global workspace by delivering cost-saving solutions that elevate user experiences through insights and analytics,” said Kevin Morrison, Utelogy CEO. “We are also continually growing our global partner network to meet the evolving demands of our enterprise customers.”

    Morrison added, “Our vision has always been to provide a toolset that delivers actionable intelligence on how businesses use their technology, how it performs, and how the workplace is utilized. This data can then be used to make better and more informed decisions. In 2022, Utelogy will add new features to its platform so customers can take an even deeper dive into how they visualize and use their data. “Focusing on the voice of the customer has given us the ability to grow Utelogy more than 270% from 2020 to 2021,” said Morrison. “This falls in line with the recent AV Service Management trends report by *Futuresource that predicts a 400% growth rate in the next four years.”

    Changes, Challenges, Opportunities

    Remote and hybrid workspaces are becoming the rule rather than the exception. Enterprises are transforming their pre-pandemic office spaces into sophisticated collaborative spaces with enhanced videoconferencing, teamwork areas, dedicated meeting spaces, and large event

    spaces. The management of these new rooms and systems is shifting from AV-based to IT-focused, with an emphasis on networked systems offering performance, quality, affordability, and easy collaboration. The employee experience should be first-class regardless of whether they are working in an office or from home.

    “Organizations are looking for the right toolset of technology and services,” said Jonathan Mangnall, Managing Director, EMEA, for Utelogy. “The Utelogy platform turns the support model from reactive to proactive, resonating with companies that are more geographically dispersed than ever and focused on the employee experience.”

    Utelogy is seeing a shift from a traditional product “break/fix” approach to an “intelligent and automated” methodology that takes into account the Total Experience (TX). Managed services models are starting to offer comprehensive solutions combining AV devices, software, and exceptional proactive customer support. These changes occurring in the global workspace require support organizations to adapt their logistical operations as well as their business mindset, presenting challenges but also significant growth opportunities.

    Scalable & Agnostic for Growth

    Utelogy is well-equipped to support customers regardless of country or region. Significant areas of growth range from its home base in the United States to key international markets across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. The company enhances its global customer support through a worldwide network of more than 40 regional partners and solutions providers with specific expertise in IT-centric system deployments and management.

    Utelogy’s ability to scale, regardless of requirements or budget, makes it the ideal platform for organizations of any size. The Utelogy platform is based on an open architecture that is hardware- and software-agnostic, allowing for greater compatibility and integration between AV/UC devices from many manufacturers. In 2021, Utelogy widely expanded its integration with the latest technologies from current partners and vendors such as Logitech, Poly Barco, Lightware Visual Engineering, Yealink, Microsoft, Mersive Technologies, Jabra, Cisco, and many others.

  • Snap One Returns to InfoComm 2022 with a Host of New Solutions To Support Commercial Partners

    Snap One Returns to InfoComm 2022 with a Host of New Solutions To Support Commercial Partners

    At InfoComm 2022, Snap One (Booth #W629) is set to demo a range of new products, platforms, and programs while connecting with commercial Partners face-to-face at a major industry trade show for the first time in two years.

    “We’re excited to return to the trade show floor and connect with Partners on a personal level,” said Scott Normand, Commercial Market Director at Snap One. “We’re known for cultivating meaningful relationships that help support and grow the businesses of all our Partners. InfoComm gives us the opportunity to show our latest products, solutions, and programs in person, and speak with Partners about what we can do to support them in taking on bigger and better commercial jobs.”

    At the show, Partners can expect to see:

    Sunbrite Pro 2

    This series of fully-weatherproof outdoor TVs deliver incredible brightness and durability for outdoor entertainment installs in hospitality, retail, restaurants, and beyond. With an ultra-bright 1,000 nit anti-glare display and full-array LED backlight, these TVs deliver an incredibly bright picture in a sleek edge-to-edge glass design in direct sunlight at multiple angles. The Sunbrite Pro 2 series also boasts an internal heating and cooling system that regulates running temperature for use in extremely high and low temperatures.

    “The Pro 2 is equipped with 4K Ultra HD with HDR, delivering more vivid colors and detail than standard displays,” said Josh Litwack, Senior Director of Sales at Snap One. “These enhancements make Sunbrite Pro 2 TVs perfect for installations at sports bars, amusement parks, and any other high-traffic, outdoor, active commercial locations.”

    Sunbrite Veranda 3

    The Sunbrite Veranda 3 line of full-shade outdoor LED TVs brings the full quality and features of indoor TVs to the outdoors. Offering 4K UHD resolution, 1,000-nit brightness, Wi-Fi, dual 10W speakers, quantum dot technology, a native 120Hz refresh rate, IP55 protection against the elements, a weatherproof remote, and Android TV smart platform, Veranda 3 TVs are a superior solution for covered backyard porches, outdoor restaurant seating areas, and any other shaded outdoor location.

    Strong Racks

    Two new lines of Strong equipment racks – 30” Custom Series Racks and Side Panels and On-Wall Racks – are designed to enhance a partner’s ability to pursue any sized project and still deliver optimized equipment. Strong’s new 30” Custom Series Racks and Side Panels are ideal to house large servers and UPS devices used in commercial projects, while the new Strong On-Wall Racks offer skeleton and patch panel models to provide flexibility for both commercial and residential projects where floor racks are unsuitable.

    Partnership with Yamaha

    At InfoComm, Snap One will discuss its partnership with third-party audio manufacturer Yamaha in greater detail. By providing access to Yamaha’s lineup of commercial-grade speakers, amplifiers, mixers, DSPs, network switches, and keypad control systems, Partners have new opportunities for more complex and sophisticated commercial jobs. With Yamaha’s class-leading speakers and amps, integrators can meet and exceed the expectations of projects in bars, restaurants, retail stores, and houses of worship, often with local product availability.

    Control4 MultiDisplay Manager

    The Control4 MultiDisplay Manager tool adds power and value to commercial installations by allowing end-users in commercial and retail environments to control multiple digital displays, TVs, and projectors from a single page, select audio sources independently of active video sources, and create presets for instant room reconfiguration.

    OvrC Remote Monitoring

    Thanks to recent updates, the OvrC system is more effective than ever, simplifying installations and providing superior ongoing service capabilities. The latest OvrC updates bring improved notification accuracy, more actionable information, and better, faster UI navigation that helps Partners troubleshoot installations easier than ever.

    Plus, the all-new OvrC Connect app will​​ replace OvrC Home and allows users to resolve common issues and manage the network, day or night, providing insight, independence, and peace of mind.

    “Along with new products, we’re also proud to share that over the past two years Snap One has expanded our commercial team. We’ve added more sales people to help support our Partners every step of the way,” added Normand. “With our individualized approach, Partners rely on us and trust us to provide quality solutions in the commercial market.”
