For network operators and large networks with hundreds or thousands of downstream players and channels, enhanced system reporting tools and high-volume reporting options for proof-of-play and affidavits are now available. With ReflectView supporting an infinite variety of players, channels, dayparts and demographic segmentation, network operators and retailers can now leverage the ReflectView system to manage and deliver media to the correct location and quickly report on the success of a campaign.
"ReflectView 2007 represents another leap forward for retailers and network operators that plan on managing their own digital signage and in-store media networks," said Stan Woodward, chairman and chief executive officer of Reflect Systems. "ReflectView 2007 not only raises the bar within the industry but dramatically lowers the TCO for clients that require flexibility in player programming support, scalability and reliability, multiple channels and support for rich-media and interactive offerings."
Enhanced System Functionality
ReflectView 2007 leverages the existing drag-and-drop playlist scheduling capability and adds new tools for managing campaigns and groups of players and channels. "More and more retailers are recognizing the advantages that come from the implementation of dynamic in-store presentations," said Steve Vonder Haar, research director with Interactive Media Strategies. "Reflect Systems is among the leaders in developing a scalable, end-to-end solution that simplifies the process of weaving a wide range of content into a far-flung digital signage network."
ReflectView 2007 new player capability offers support for a wide range of media input and output options and supports a wider variety of display and management options for existing and new displays. ReflectView 2007 also offers the following upgrades and features for the individual components of the system, including ReflectView Server, Player, Publisher and Reporter:

rich media themes, allowing for the use of Microsoft's familiar and
ubiquitous PowerPoint application for simple content creation and
editing.

features for scheduling daylists, playlists and campaigns months in
advance in order to provide network operators the ability to make the
most efficient use of their networks.

content types and hardware configurations which enable multi-channel HD
