Feb. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Black Box, an industry-leading provider of multimedia (http://www.blackbox.com/go/AV) and digital signage (http://www.blackbox.com/go/iCOMPEL) technology, announced today that it will be distributing its newly updated AV, Multimedia, and Digital Signage Design and Sourcing Guide during Digital Signage Expo 2013 (DSE® 13) February 27–28 in Las Vegas.

This guide features educational resources and checklists to help simplify the job of having to choose compatible parts for a high-performance digital signage or AV distribution system. It includes tutorials, planning tips, and comparisons of:

•  Video formats (VGA, Composite, DVI, HDMI®, DisplayPort, and others).

•  AV distribution methods (in-line, CATx-based, fiber-based, IP-based, and wireless).

•  Components that typically make up an integrated digital signage/AV distribution system.

•  Video display methods and display configurations.

“The process can be quite overwhelming for those starting to design an end-to-end system,” says Brian Kutchma, VP of Sales at Black Box. “This guide is designed to simplify that process, whether you’re planning a system for digital signage, a corporate or school video distribution application, command and control, or medical imaging.”

Plus, the guide gives a comprehensive overview of the types of products found in the entire digital signage ecosystem and spotlights Black Box’s full range of solutions for digital signage, including:
