The service then allows remote playout of content via fiber or satellite to broadcast distribution platforms worldwide using an improved, user-friendly online interface.
WING Captive Audience compelling advertising delivery at the point of sale
Playlist management and customizable advertising delivery over retail signage networks are at the heart of WING Captive Audience. This latest WING solution combines all of the necessary hardware and asset management applications to initiate a new digital display network or upgrade an existing network, bringing video or multimedia content to television or PC screens at any number of retail points-of-presence.
