iMediaT Digital Wins 2009 DIGI Award for SkyTrain Deployment

iMediaT Digital is honoured to win a DIGI Award for Best Deployment in the Transportation industry.

Vancouver, Canada, November 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- After the DIGI Awards were handed out in New York on Tuesday November 10, 2009 iMediaT Digital won the award for Best Deployment, Transportation. The DIGI Awards honour innovation and excellence in the Digital Signage industry. iMediaT Digital worked with Best Buy Commercial Services Canada to develop a station entrance emergency digital signage system that alerts users of the SkyTrain Rapid Transit.

The system is designed to display general information about the SkyTrain line during normal daily operation. iMediaT Digital designed the system to help Field Operations staff update the screens in the event of an emergency anywhere along the line. Using a combination of the PADS software by Net Display Systems and custom designed software from iMediaT Digital, the system instantly overrides all general content on screens located at station entrances. The system is extremely robust and allows a single screen or combination to be targeted with messaging. Messages are time sensitive based on user settings and can be stopped at any time with the click of a button.

“As the Chair of the Judges Committee for the DIGI Awards, I can say that this year we have an unusually great crop of entries,” said David Keene, Editor of Digital Signage Magazine. “The DIGI Awards recognize the resellers, integrators and service providers who have gone the extra mile to ensure success for their clients, thereby furthering the digital signage industry as a whole.”

“We’re honoured to receive this award,” said Dean Hajum President of iMediaT Digital, “we’re proud of the unique system we designed and what we’ve accomplished with Best Buy. It’s an extremely powerful and easy to use digital signage emergency system that can be implemented in a number of industries, but we feel transportation and education can benefit from it the most. We’re excited about the potential for our targeting system as it can easily be mapped to any industry that needs to target an individual or group of screens with the right content at the right time. Not only can our system target screens instantly but it can target screens based on specific dates and times all with a simple, user-friendly interface,” concluded Hajum.
