Showcase Cinemas, known for providing a premium movie-going experience, sought to differentiate themselves from other exhibitors by offering luxurious recliner seating, cutting-edge laser projection, and Dolby Atmos sound. To enhance this experience further, Showcase Cinemas embarked on a project to revamp their outdated signage system. Through a collaboration with Deal Media and Phillips, they successfully implemented a state-of-the-art digital signage solution that transformed their theaters and captivated audiences.

When Showcase Cinemas expressed the need for a digital signage provider, Deal Media stepped in as the ideal partner. Touring all the theaters, analyzing requirements, and understanding the scope of the project, Deal Media devised a comprehensive plan. With the assistance of Phillips, the necessary supplies, including monitors, were procured, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.

The project involved a full refresh of digital menu boards and box office screens across more than 20 locations. Showcase Cinemas transitioned to the Carbon platform, offered by Deal Media, which facilitated efficient management of thousands of digital menu boards and signage implementations. The flexibility of Carbon allowed clients to easily update and manage their own content in real-time. Cutting-edge technology enabled screen synchronization for captivating lobby takeovers during seasonal promotions and special events.

Teaming up with Phillips, Showcase Cinemas replaced over 500 screens, ranging from 55 to 75 inches, with the vibrant D-Line at 700 Nits screens. The exceptional brightness ensured that the screens stood out, even in ambient lighting conditions. The new signage system provided the opportunity for engaging takeovers, showcasing the latest combo offers, resulting in a significant increase in combo sales.

The feedback from Showcase Cinemas, including executives and theater managers, has been overwhelmingly positive. The project’s success and dynamic content have revitalized the cinemas, breathing new life into the movie-watching experience. The professionalism and seamless transition offered by Deal Media and Phillips have made it a stress-free and pleasurable collaboration.

For any cinema seeking to replace their current menu board system and box office screens, the partnership between Deal Media and Phillips comes highly recommended. Their level of expertise and professionalism have elevated Showcase Cinemas’ signage to new heights, enhancing the overall cinematic experience.

LG's Signage Manager app lets store staff run e-paper signs from a phone

LG's Signage Manager app lets store staff run e-paper signs from a phone

LG Electronics announced LG Signage Manager on Nov. 11, 2026. It is a smartphone app for editing, scheduling and monitoring LG's E-paper Display without a PC. Updates go over Wi-Fi when the phone and the display are on the same network, which makes it a tool for on-site staff. The schedules staff set also drive the display's power management, so how often content changes affects energy use.

  • 01On LG's e-paper display, the content schedule a store manager sets in the app is also the instruction the display uses to manage its power.
  • 02LG Signage Manager runs updates and status checks when the phone and display share a network, which makes it a fit for staff on the shop floor and a weaker fit for chains that push content from head office.
  • 03Before a pilot, check two things: whether the app is available in your region, and what the battery readout shows at the update frequency your menus and prices actually need.

Broadcast vendors say resilient workflows start with fewer tools

Broadcast vendors say resilient workflows start with fewer tools

Panelists argued that resilience can start with questioning unnecessary integrations and pushing controls into the background through templating and automation. They also urged teams to price redundancy and failover paths, including the ongoing cost and carbon of capacity that sits idle. Sony’s Martin Lindsay said open standards such as C2PA are essential to keep provenance information interoperable across tools, platforms and distribution.

  • 01Every tool added to a broadcast chain brings another credential, integration and thing to patch, so panelists urged teams to question whether existing platforms can cover a need before adding another layer.
  • 02Every duplicate region, standby instance and failover path adds cost and carbon that most organizations aren't measuring, Humans Not Robots CEO Kristan Bullett said.
  • 03Business continuity is about keeping the program on air while issues are addressed, while disaster recovery is about restoring systems and content; Wierzan argued they need separate plans, owners and testing rather than being treated as the same discipline.

JBL 3 Series MkIII monitors add VESA-pattern inserts for wall and ceiling installs

JBL 3 Series MkIII monitors add VESA-pattern inserts for wall and ceiling installs

JBL Professional's 3 Series MkIII monitors add eight VESA-pattern mounting points and a subwoofer that defers to external bass management. That combination makes a desktop monitor line practical for wall, ceiling and immersive rooms. North America ships January 7, 2027.

  • 01Eight M4 inserts in a 75 × 75 mm VESA pattern are intended to enable wall, ceiling, stand and monitor-arm mounting, making surround and overhead layouts a more practical extension of the 3 Series MkIII.
  • 02The 310S MkIII subwoofer's external crossover bypass decides who owns bass management, and that choice belongs in the room design before anything is ordered.
  • 03North American availability starts January 7, 2027, more than two months after Asia-Pacific and EMEA, so Q1 installs specified now carry a delivery date with them.
