Screenfeed announces its Photo Trivia and Local Event info channels at the 2009 Kioskcom/Digital Signage Show in New York. Animated and attention-getting content offerings bring continuously refreshed content for bar, restaurant, gas pump, and convenient store signage networks.
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) November 9, 2009 -- Screenfeed continues to create new content tools that network operators can plug into their networks to attract and entertain viewers including their new Local Events and Photo Trivia content channels. These channels will be presented at Kioskcom / The Digital Signage Show in New York on Tuesday.
Screenfeed -- "The Digital Signage Content Store" -- now offers hyper-local content in the form of their Local Events channel which displays a calendar of sports, music, theater and community events that can be localized to any locations within the US, Canada or major cities around the world.
Ad-based networks will enjoy the benefits of offering viewers relevant, local and valuable content in short segments. The animated display features event titles, locations, dates & times as well as a photos that change every 5 seconds. This allows networks with short dwell times to provide value to the viewer quickly then transition to ad-based content.
Screenfeed customers can choose to customize both the look-and-feel of the display as well as the "coverage area". Networks can choose to include only events within a hyper-local 10-mile radius for more of a neighborhood feel or a 50-mile radius to include major events around the metro area. The engaging presentation of the event information can also be completely customized by Screenfeed to fit the look-and-feel of a network or to add sponsorship branding.
The new Photo Trivia content attracts the attention of viewers and entertains in both short spots or during long dwell times. Viewers interest is triggered from motion that starts and stops, color change, as well as high-resolution photos of celebrities, sports heroes and things people recognize; while the reveal of answers to a variety of pop-culture questions keeps viewers' interest. Topics include celebrities, entertainment, sports, historical events and fun facts.
Trivia questions are available with and without audio. With hundreds of questions available and more added every month it is a perfect solution for venues with high visitation frequency such as bars, restaurants, gas pumps and convenient stores. Each question and answer is revealed every 30 seconds.
Screenfeed's mission is to not only provide better content options for network operators, but make managing them a snap. "We want to make getting high-quality, constantly refreshed content easier." says Screenfeed CEO Jeremy Gavin, "Our goal is for our customers to schedule our content in their playlists one time and forget about it - We'll keep their screens fresh. Automated updating is currently the case for nearly all our customers and we are working to support all industry standards for content delivery."
According to Gavin, "It is important for the industry, especially signage software companies to develop the ability to consume daily, third-party content delivery." Screenfeed offers industry-leading delivery options including Media RSS, SMIL, FTP, Flash and Web URL. In addition, Screenfeed has established tight integration with several major digital signage software solutions and continues to increase those relationships with the goal of making it as easy as possible for network operators.
Pricing for both channels is as low as $5 per player per month. To preview samples and pricing of Screenfeed's Local Events and Photo Trivia channels as well as other digital signage content, please visit: http://www.screenfeed.com
