Screen Media Expo Europe 2009:
Post-Event Website Now Live
Screen Media Expo Europe 2009, held on 7-8 April at
London Olympia’s National Hall, housed 91 exhibitors and attracted a total
3,000 visitors from over 50 different countries. The comprehensive learning programme of co-hosted conferences and workshops featured
high quality luminaries spanning the digital signage supply chain and now,
for the first time, all their presentations can be accessed for free via the
new Post-Event web site:
http://www.screenevents.co.uk/screenexpo2009_PostEvent. The Screen Media Expo
Europe 2009 Post-Event web site offers a range of resources to benefit not
only show exhibitors and visitors but also those people that couldn’t attend.
Back for its 5th Anniversary year, the 2010 show will take place on 5-6 May
at Earls Court, London, and is projected to attract over 130 exhibitors and
5,000 visitors from over 60 countries. More: http://www.screenevents.co.uk 5)
Futuresource Consulting: Driving Digital
Content returns to London
Futuresource Consulting is
delighted to announce the return of Driving Digital Content, the two-day
event focusing on the business opportunities presented by digital content
delivery, taking place in London on 4-5 June 2009.
Without doubt, digital delivery of entertainment content is gaining traction
as a lucrative and sustainable revenue stream with online, mobile content and
the rise of the connected home all playing their part. According to recent Futuresource analysis, revenues from paid-for online
video in Western Europe will increase by close to a staggering 3000% between
2008 and 2012, delivering revenues in excess of 1bn Euros in 2012. Movie
rental downloads are leading the charge, closely followed by ‘download to
own’ movie content, with ‘download to own’ TV content and subscription-based
business models making a lesser impact. Going forward, there is also a huge
advantage for online video services to be tied into a hardware ownership
model: the installed base will provide these online video services with a
ready-made and ready-equipped customer base. Now in its third year, Driving
Digital Content will deliver industry insights and bring together prominent
figures from leading studios, other content owners and producers,
broadcasters, online service providers, mobile operators and consumer
electronics companies, ensuring conference delegates get the full picture.
Detailed Information can be found on the website. More:

projectiondesign powers retrospective by Japanese
artist Ryoji Ikeda
Reaffirming its commitment to supporting
groundbreaking audio visual material, Norway's projectiondesign
has supplied three of its DLP projectors to Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda for use in the major retrospective of his
work. Best-known as Japan's leading composer of electronic music, Ikeda uses
both sound and visual imagery to produce intensely physical experiences for
his audience. His new retrospective is being hosted by Museum of Contemporary
Art Tokyo, which opened on 2 April and will continue to 21 June 2009, is titled
'+/- [the infinite between 0 and 1]', and includes new commissions, sound
works and large-scale audio visual projections. Three F32 series will be used
to power 'data.tron [3 SXGA+ version]', an expanded
edition of Ikeda's floor-to-ceiling screen of art, which seeks to physically
overwhelm visitors with a staggering array of binary data such as the numbers
0 and 1. First seen at art installations in Europe in 2007, “data.tron' forms part of the 'datamatics'
project, a series of experiments in various forms that seeks to materialize
pure computer data, transforming it into new media experiences and
challenging the way we perceive the digitisation of
information. projectiondesign

Chief makes installations above
suspended ceilings obsolete
Chief Manufacturing is excited to present its suspended
ceiling kits CMS440 and CMS445. The CMS440 and CMS445 suspended ceiling kits
offer a wide range of installer-inspired features. Obstacles - like ducts or
air conditionings - blocking a regular ceiling plate installation are no
longer a hurdle during the installation. Routing the suspended cables,
ventilation systems or air conditioners can easily be bypassed. With the
suspended ceiling replacement tile kit, long columns reaching all the way to
the construction ceiling are no longer necessary. This makes the entire
installation much easier and more cost effective. Due to the pre and post
installation features, less items / products are required to complete the
job. Without a need for long columns above the visible ceiling, the often
unknown distance above the suspended ceiling is no longer a key concern. The
kits include four 7.6m long high-strength aircraft cables (rated at 150 lbs
each) and therefore site surveys only need to identify the length of the
column extending from below the suspended ceiling. Both ceiling kits have
above-tile storage options in order to store cables or provide power outlet
support. With these build-in locations for mounting power and signal boxes,
everything is kept neatly together, hidden from sight, above the ceiling. More: http://www.chiefmfg.com 9)

London’s most prestigious hotels, the 140 year old Langham
