More about the PIPView
Having a huge range of features, while impressive in itself, is only part of the solution.
The DigiSHOW PIPView has been born out of years working with professionals in the corporate
and education markets to refine the solution.
This time and energy to understand the environment, define objectives and aspirations is clearly
available in a solution that will stand the test of time and provide a solid return for the investment.
What's Different?
The DigiSHOW PIPView is a combined multiple live image viewer and multiple media play out server in a
single unit. This unique solution combines two tried and tested technologies, previously only available
as separates, into a single unit option resulting in reduced cost of ownership, reduce component count,
real-time interaction, environment impact reduction, increased reliability and of course, improved
display performance where it matters most.
Adaptability
Modern business and education establishments have to be adaptable to changing demands and requirements
presented by their day to day activities. Part of any successful presentation, discussion or lecture
session will depend on how immersive the attendee’s experience of the session. Part of that immersion is the
environment, such as colours, textures and reinforcement messages. The DigiSHOW PIPView compliments these
experiences with live input from attendee’s and the adaptability
to change the display theme such as background images, colours,
positions, combined with input from pre-recorded presentations
or internet feeds and video conferencing.
This level of adaptability ensures the physical design can be closely mirrored on the display and offer a per
presentation change for extra impact.
Inspiring
Every day you are bombarded with on screen multiple images from the morning news, with picture-in-picture, split screen,
ticker tapes etc. Now with the DigiSHOW PIPView for this first time you too can create inspiring presentations with mixed
media on screen allowing you to reinforce your main presentation material with other selected imagery. Alternatively you can
easily share the same display space with other attendee’s and use the experience to inspire thought and interact more easily
and faster than ever before.
Connected
We live in a connected world, whether this is internet or physical such as laptops, the DigiSHOW PIPView handles these inputs with
ease. Connect a DVD player, video conference feed or high end graphics server using industry standard connectors and the DigiSHOW
PIPView will be happy to display their output full screen or in multiple moveable windows. Connect to a network and have live video
from your IPTV channels, or web pages with dynamic refreshing data without the need for additional hardware.
The usual outputs are available, along with the added feature for multiple output displays to be mapped to a single display surface to
create some spectacular environments.
Setup of the system is through an intuitive Windows interface for pre-creating inputs, playlist and layouts allowing you to create a
complete theme for a presentation.
Mixed Media
DigiSHOW has a long history of media playback, and the DigiSHOW PIPView draws on this well-earned experience and technology
to offer a solution that works seamlessly with all the rich media available today from stills, animations, PowerPoint, web,
IPTV and pre-recorded videos. Combine this with the freedom to create multiple playback windows mixed on screen with live
inputs. You begin to realise the power of the system to create immersive displays focused on delivering the right message
time and time again, with the freedom and flexibility to customise each presentation.
Simple
The DigiSHOW PIPView is flexible, easy and simple to use but with the power to perform time and time again. There is a
full Windows drag and drop interface for creating themes, layouts and playlists of content. This interface is fully
interactive, so much so, you will see your inputs and content playing while you move, resize and change running orders.
This simple approach allows for a very productive and intuitive operation of the system when timescales may be short.
Once a theme of layouts, play lists and media have been saved you can recall them at any time in any order directly
from the Windows interface or via external wireless touch screens linked to the system to create a fully immersive
environment.
DigiSHOW.PIPView introduces iPad Support
The product that allows multiple input multiple output multiple picture in picture can now be operated by the Apple iPad.
The PIPView is a device developed by FUTURESoftware Ltd, which allows multiple simultaneous live formats to be input and then
displayed along with stored formats via customisable templates.
FUTURESoftware Ltd is proud to announce that it is now easier than ever to control the customisable/multiple template layouts
on the DigiSHOW PIPView by using an Apple iPad. This means that the iPad becomes the touch screen controller for the PIPView,
which allows the user to easily choose layouts and inputs to match their on screen requirements by simply touching and selecting the icons and menus.
All standard Windows content can be used, simultaneously bringing in live content from a number of laptops, a video conferencing
system, live web sites, live TV and even stored files from the network. The flexibility is huge and the user interface makes it
really easy to switch around the look of the entire display as well as which content is shown in the main viewing area.
