Compatibility in content management enables immediate support for an expanded Digital Signage ecosystem.
Sony Corporation (“Sony”) has joined forces with signageOS, a leader in cloud infrastructure for Digital Signage. The company will provide simplified integration to support Sony BRAVIA 4K professional displays and create a Digital Signage schema as well as a more connected content management system (CMS) for the company and its partners worldwide. The new partnership with signageOS will ensure nearly double the compatibility of Sony displays to offer support for some 60 built-in CMS options, which will be available starting next month. In addition, with this partnership, Sony’s network of system integrators, resellers, channel partners, managed service providers, and software alliance members will be able to more easily extend and expand the deployment of BRAVIA professional displays through the unified signageOS API system.
“We are excited not only to coordinate with signageOS but also to deliver more functionality and value to Sony displays, increasing revenues for our growing partner ecosystem worldwide,” said Damien Weissenburger, Head of Professional Displays and Solutions for Europe. “The partnership with signageOS brings more value to the Sony BRAVIA professional line, offering greater compatibility, improved sustainability measures, and a wider range of vertical use cases, particularly in the retail sector, while simplifying and unifying many disparate offerings. With a partner like signageOS, we also have many opportunities to develop and strengthen our activities together to create a better Digital Signage ecosystem for this industry.”
“We are really happy to partner with Sony and honored to help them as they are developing their own end-to-end Digital Signage capabilities to support many providers who are introducing a transformation in the industry so that it becomes faster, simpler, and more integrated,” says Stan Richter, CEO of signageOS. “Sony has a well-established mindset about building strong B2B relationships and we look forward to growing and expanding our relationship with them to directly benefit from its partnership program while responding to the needs of the community.”
The Sony BRAVIA 4K HDR professional display range includes sizes from 32″ to 100″ (diagonally) and is designed for today’s interconnected AV environments. They feature an HTML5-compatible Android System on a Chip (SoC) platform that works with the latest browsers. The line offers seamless integration, security, smart customization, continuous updates, and the ability to easily share and manage content, as well as providing open APIs. Cutting-edge display technologies deliver amazing color, contrast, and sharpness for content in corporate, educational, commercial, and public environments, as well as Digital Signage.
In addition, BRAVIA professional models prioritize sustainability by eliminating the need for external media players, with lower power consumption and a simplified supply chain, and can be adapted to existing infrastructures.
