VGA-TO-YPbPr MODULATOR


This VGA to component video converter is a professional quality scan converter accepting VGA input resolution from 640 x 480 to 1600 x 1200 in 16.7 million-color depth. It converts RGBHV high definition video from set-top satellite receivers and HDTV receivers to component video for connection to your television's YPbPr (HDTV) input. Video can be output as S-Video or composite video for use with VCRs and standard resolution TVs. Switchable output for NTSC or PAL. For the best picture possible, selectable output resolutions are 480i, 480P, 720P, 1080i. This is an external display device and does not require any software for use. It simultaneous displays on the computer monitor and HDTV/TV. Pass-through function sends video directly to the computer monitor when the unit is powered down. On-screen video adjustments for color, tint, brightness, contrast, sharpness, centering and flicker via infrared remote control. 1: 1 analog to digital frame rate sampling. It has horizontal and vertical frequency detection to adjust picture position.


VIDEO CAMERAS / AUDIENCE MEASUREMENT


As the digital signage industry booms and out-of-home advertising grows rapidly, accurate and standardize metric for audience impressions are needed to measure and maximize advertising value. DIVD's proposed audience measurement solution (the "AMS") will permit retailers to measure the number of viewers and the level of their interest when advertising on digital signs, TV monitors, and other out-of-home displays. The AMS will allow retailers to:

  • Truly measure the effectiveness of its displays
  • Make educated decisions regarding advertising content
  • Optimize the placement of displays for maximum exposure
  • Adapt content in real-time based on audience demographics
  • Interface with leading content management systems

AMS generates true viewing data by capturing and analyzing facial images of people watching the displays. The patent-pending, high-resolution camera being used captures audience faces at wide angles (up to 120 degrees) and at distances of up to 12 feet. The camera is specifically designed for harsh lighting conditions. Other, more expensive, cameras can capture audience faces at up to 130 degrees and at distances up to 25 feet.

Viewers' faces are analyzed in real-time by the embedded "Black Box" to yield business-critical information such as true "face forwards" counts and individual exposure times. Further real-time classification algorithms determine the viewer's gender, age group, and ethnicity.

The AMS integrates with business applications via its API. The AMS can also emit a signal to the display/kiosk computer when a customer is present and signal the customer's demographics, i.e., gender, age group and/or ethnicity enabling the display/kiosk to change (customize) its GUI.

Standard features:

  • Time span attention measurement
  • Viewers counting
  • Gender counting
  • Adult/child counting
  • Content synchronization

Reports, accessible with username and password, over the Internet, include:

  • Daily/Weekly/Custom: Audience counting report
  • Daily/Weekly/Custom: Comparative audience counting report
  • Daily/Weekly/Custom: Content-based audience counting report
  • Daily/Weekly/Custom: Cumulative audience counting report


PRESSURE SENSITIVE MATS


The mats function as a normally open switch. When a person steps on the mat, the contact closes. When they step off the mat, it opens again. As long as a person is standing on the mat, the contacts remain closed.

Connections to the computer have traditionally been via serial plug (9 pin sub D). For the serial function, the software must query the port continuously looking for a contact closure. The query can be in the form of a signal (pulses) applied to one pin and a response connection waiting on another pin. When the mat is stepped on, the signal is passed and the software can initiate a sub routine for log on, etc.

As long as a user remains on the mat, the signal remains and the session is active. When the person vacates the security mat, the signal is lost and the kiosk software must initiate a separate routine to flush all buffers and memory elements removing the person's personal information.

The software then either sets a time delay to begin an attraction loop or reverts to a welcome screen before moving to an attraction or slide show depending on how the software manages the kiosk.

DIVD also offers a USB option for kiosk security mats. This option employs a USB Converter. When connected to the computer via the USB port, the USB Converter and security mat are recognized as a second (USB) keyboard.

The USB Converter receives the mats contact closure and sends a series of user defined keystrokes to the computer. A second set of keystrokes is sent to the computer when the person steps off of the mat. Both sets of keystrokes are configured using a utility (supplied).

The kiosk software accepts these keystrokes and has the know-how to interpret them. Each set of commands can then initiate routines for log on and automatic log off, etc.

The mats are available in almost any conceivable size and shape including thin version intended for concealment under existing carpeting.
