iRevo Multimedia announced the launch of Digital Signage 2.0 platform during today’s Infocomm 2021 with Virtual Receptionist with AI and playback via Browser.
iRevo Multimedia, Inc. CEO Dhimant Bhayani explained how COVID-19 derailed the launch of Aldo Web Meetings and Aldo Presenter (originally planned for Q2 of 2020). “Over the past 15 months we embedded Aldo in iDS to support presenting on displays and to support A/V calling from iDS,” Bhayani said. “After successfully providing the Cloud based Digital Signage application on Sony Pro Bravia displays with Android OS, we have added support for IP Control of displays and playing signage projects on any device with a Browser, resulting in iDS 2.0.”
Building upon its original Cloud based offering, the iDS 2.0 comes equipped with an updated user interface and features-set suitable for use in a wide variety of use cases, ranging from restaurant menus for Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs), to touch interactive kiosks with One Touch Audio/Video Calling, to deploying a custom workflow in Digital Transformation projects.

“We built the iDS 2.0 to address the use cases beyond typical scheduled content playback,” says iRevo Multimedia, Inc. CEO Dhimant Bhayani. “One such use case example is a Remote Product Specialist. Imagine a display playing product information content but with a Touch to Call button.” This would provide store visitors with direct access to a product specialist that could answer any product related questions, thereby increasing the likelihood of converting casual visitors to dedicated customers.

The latest version is also able to run on any device with a browser.

Now, with the iDS 2.0, users can build a Private Broadcast Network targeting display network made up of Televisions, Tablets and Personal Computers.
According to Bhayani, “There are many such use cases for which iRevo will be providing ready-to-customize solutions, with ease, speed and without software development.”
