MONTREAL and CHICAGO — March 15, 2011 — Haivision today announced that it will provide, for a limited time, a free CoolSign Stand Alone digital signage system to any customer that adds a Haivision MakitoTM DVI encoder to a new or existing FurnaceTM IP video system. CoolSign is Haivision’s full-featured digital signage solution. The CoolSign Stand Alone system is an integrated hardware/software platform including both the CoolSign server and player components. The integration of Haivision’s CoolSign and Furnace systems enables users to establish live and controlled HD signage to every desktop via the license-free InStreamTM player and to flat-panel displays via Haivision’s low-cost StingrayTM set-top box.
