More on VITEC InfoComm 2018 products from Peer Jambor, marketing director:
“We really wanted to make it a platform you can build on; you can expand. In collegiate sports, they might start off smaller, but add on signage and another platform to complete the experience [later].
“We encounter all the time that our main competitor’s system for management is very complicated. They have to call support or have someone on-site which is very costly and time consuming.
“That’s one of the main advantages we have: it’s really an easy management to change signs at venues like the Sacramento Kings where they have over 200 events per year and need to constantly change their setup.”
