“Digital Signage Your Way” at DSE 2012

Almo Rolls Out the Red Carpet Inviting Attendees to Build Signage Projects in Booth; Seven Video Walls, Two Test Drive Centers; Multiple Training Sessions

Philadelphia, PA — February 29, 2012 — Almo Professional A/V, the nation’s fastest growing audiovisual distributor, is rolling out a red carpet for attendees at next week’s DSE Expo 2012, March 6-9 in Las Vegas, NV. The Almo Pro A/V booth (#631) will showcase seven video walls in different configurations for visitors to peruse, as well as two Test Drive centers that give attendees the opportunity to try out content creation/management options. Almo will showcase the latest digital signage products resulting from new and exclusive relationships with manufacturers including NanoLumens, Planar, Christie MicroTiles and BrightSign. Almo Pro A/V is also sponsoring and participating in several educational sessions throughout the show.

“Our booth theme is ‘Digital Signage Your Way.’ We have made our booth a red carpet experience for attendees by allowing them to come in and explore in a hands-on environment with their very own Digital Signage Concierge to guide the way,” explained Melody Craigmyle, vice president of marketing for Almo Professional A/V. “The Almo booth experience is different because it’s not about one specific manufacturer. We work with our integrators to help them build one-of-a-kind systems for a specific project using displays, content management, signal distribution and everything else necessary for a full digital signage installation.”

The Almo Pro A/V booth will include the some of the industry’s newest products, including:

• NanoLumens, Inc.’s line of ultra-slim and lightweight flexible and rigid LED displays for use in spaces previously impossible with traditional displays. Almo Pro A/V is the exclusive national distributor of NanoLumens products.

• Planar Systems, Inc.’s large-scale video wall and digital display systems, including the new Silhouetteâ„¢ Display and Stand, a 10-foot tall sculptural implementation of video for architectural applications. It includes four LCD screens configured on a free-standing base, the required display and processing electronics, and all required installation services.

• The Christie MicroTiles JumpStart content management package, which allows content to be easily arranged in various shapes and resolutions on a large video wall.

The two Test Drive stations in the Almo booth are being driven with content management systems using AMX’s Inspired XPress and BrightSign’s Digital Sign Controller. Attendees can use these systems and publish projects live and on the fly in the Almo booth.
