GENERAL FAQ

Q4. Choose The Software (Desired End Results) First.

With enough money, and you can solve any of these problems. But it would have been easier, cheaper and faster to choose the right solution right from the start? Otherwise, you're trapped into doing video production that is costly to update and customize. Pick up that phone and call DMS before you are millions of dollars into the project. Choose the software first.

It will look much the same as today, but instead of VCR static, you will have "blue screens of death" all over.

That is, of course, unless you choose DMS as the critical software "enabling" component of your installation. Then, the world will look as good as the PhotoShop artists you hire to create your content. They'll produce an enormously faster rate than vector-artists or video production people. So, the world will be interesting, valuable to your audience, and always fresh, on-topic, relevant, going to your bottom-line.

DMS Is The De Facto Standard Software for e-Display.

You found the definitive website for issues concerning computers and e-Display screens. DMS is the de facto standard software for driving truly large-scale networks of e-Display screen signage. Scalable multimedia means that you can start out with one computer station for both creation and playback, then scale up to 10 to 50 remote playback locations for an advertising or corporate communication pilot program.

Produce Lots of Content Without Much Production.

When you are happy with your pilot program, you can scale your number of playback locations on your network up to hundreds or thousands of sites with e-Display screens, directly under your control and the control of your subordinates. You can deliver visually impactful, broadcast quality, television-like multimedia messaging without the tremendous bottleneck of continual video production.

PhotoShop With Effects Is More Effective Than Vectors.

But you might ask yourself, shouldn't I use more "popular" software for signage networks? Flashy software like that used for vector-based animated graphics on the Internet? This is indeed a choice, but DMS has a unique approach that keeps production cycles fast and production costs low. Use digital photography, fonts, and "canned" clip-art and animation. Glue it all together fast and professionally, with the "guiding eye" of a talented PhotoShop artist. Add screen transitions, wipes, and fades for eye-catching motion. Do it with hardly any more skills than the PhotoShop artist already possesses. Do this over and over on a daily basis, rarely getting hung up on the complications and technical nuances of vector-based graphics.

Play Back e-Display Multimedia The Way You Designed It.

And best of all, design in a way that exactly shows you what it will look like at the playback location. That's right! Put a e-Display screen right on the desk of your artist. DMS maps pixel-to-pixel to e-Display screens. What you see is exactly what you get. There will be few differences in appearance, performance, or timing at the playback location (when keeping the hardware the same at both locations). DMS was born for e-Displays.
