Visix Releases Version 1.23 Of Axis Signage Suite Enterprise Digital Signage Platform
Visix, Inc. has released version 1.23 of its AxisTV Signage Suite enterprise digital signage platform.
The release includes five new widgets, 64-bit OS support, enhanced workflows, improved interactive functionality, personal UI customization options, heightened sort and filter intelligence, expanded organizational tools and security policies, as well as the ability to customize every visual property for the company’s Touch room sign.
“This is a highly anticipated release filled with features requested by a rapidly growing user base,” said Sean Matthews, president and CEO of Visix. “This is the largest update we’ve released since launching the platform in 2017, and it expands and enhances every aspect of our platform – design, management and playback. Whether you’re an administrator or content creator, this release has new tools that will help you streamline workflows and produce better content for your audience.”
All applications included in the AxisTV Signage Suite
platform have been converted to 64-bit so clients can show higher
resolution video and more complex content. Version 1.23 also uses .NET
Framework 4.8, which includes the latest security and cryptographic
standards available.
The release includes expanded hierarchy
policies for user accounts and permissions, and new security policy
options including password rules, intrusion rules and auto-logout
settings. Administrators can create new user accounts through an easy
copy function, either manually or using Active Directory workflows, and
can also limit the message types assigned to individual users.
The
CMS now allows greater visibility into playback performance, with
options to receive notifications for system alarms when a player stops
replicating content or stops updating its snapshot. Administrators can
set how often players are scanned for alarm conditions using easy
configuration settings.
AxisTV Signage Suite users can now
customize the software’s UI with their own preferences to choose what’s
displayed or hidden in various areas of the CMS for a more personalized
experience.
Version 1.23 also includes heightened sort and
filter intelligence for more refined data mapping to external sources,
such as calendars, XML or JSON, and easier configuration of
data-triggered content using conditional logic.
The release also
includes new tools to optimize touchscreen performance, with controls
for how long an interactive hot spot is active, and how long before
another hot spot can launch content. This prevents players from having
to handle multiple touch requests at the same time by prioritizing
interactions on a first-touched, first-launched basis.
AxisTV Signage Suite v 1.23 includes enhancements to the fill-in-the-blank toolset, and five new drag-and-drop widgets for content creators.
The
new Media Directory widget lets clients create a mini playlist by
pointing to a folder to play still and video media files from a network
directory, which automatically updates content on screens when the local
files change.
The new Fill-In Text Block widget allows designers to
add fillable text blocks to any message or layout template. This gives
content managers a quick way to allow others to contribute, while still
controlling the branding and design of their screens.
The new Video
Capture Card hardware widget can control HDMI capture cards present on
Visix HDn players, letting customers display live video from
set-top-boxes and other video sources.
The new Book Exchange widget
and Event Calendar widget are part of the expanded functionality and
design controls for the company’s Touch meeting room signs.
Using
AxisTV Signage Suite, clients can publish schedules from their own
calendar app to Touch room signs. Version 1.23 of the platform allows
walk-up reservations at the sign for clients using Microsoft Exchange
and Exchange 365. Because bookings at the sign are immediately shared
with the calendar app, clients don’t have to worry about double
bookings.
