Gold Partner IMS Audio-Visual receives 2008 DIGI Award for Excellence in Creativity, Healthcare

By Minson Chen, President & CEO AGNPRO, October 2007

When Health Advocate, Inc., of Plymouth Meeting, PA, needed a striking multi-media experience, AGNPRO products provided the ideal solution.

The project was completed by AGNPRO Gold Partner IMS Audio Visual Inc., which brought its considerable expertise to the planning, design and installation of this complex and impressive A/V technology display.

The result was impressive. A “Welcome Wall” featuring a 50” 1080P HD display and an ultra large floating 130” diagonal HD rear projection screen are in the main Lobby Exhibit Area. Both displays in the Exhibit Area show automated content; each with a networked AGNPRO miniBox™ HD media player. The Exhibit area then opens into the Boardroom which features a Digital Gallery comprised of ten 32” flat panel displays showing automated content through ten networked AGNPRO miniBox™ networked media players. Health Advocate communicates with its staff throughout the headquarters with six strategically placed 50” HD flat panel displays showing up-to-the-minute information from AGNPRO oneBox HD™ Digital Signage Appliances.

The project uses AGNPRO solutions from each product line, with each product solving a specific digital signage challenge.

“This project is a perfect example of how our wide range of solutions and ‘out of the box’ product philosophy solve digital signage challenges for our partners and their end users”, said Minson Chen, President and CEO of AGNPRO. “We are pleased to work with quality partners like IMS Audio-Visual who have the expertise to implement the very best solutions for their customers.”

The DIGI awards are presented annually to honor excellence in digital signage technology, creativity and technology to integrators and manufacturers and are presented by The Digital Signage Group, a specialty distributor. This year’s awards are being presented in a special ceremony at Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas on February 27.
