Intertise VisionCast™ Software

Intertise VisionCast™ software runs the Value Vision Network, Pet Vision Network and any proprietary in-store network implementations. Digital Signage, to be effective, must utilize flexible, powerful and reliable software. We built VisionCast™ from the ground up, after reviewing dozens of products already on the market, to ensure it could be used to power our own networks, as well as in-store networks and support franchising opportunities. We also built it to be totally flexible, easy to use and maintain.

If you are developing a digital signage network, installing digital signage equipment in your store or for your customers, take a look at the other software available on the market and then talk to us. Our software pricing and licensing is the most cost effective on the market and if you are interested in customizing it or buying the source code, let us know. You can also license our software as a franchise or a partner and save even more.

What is required to run a digital signage network and how complicated is it? This is THE question we get from our customers, so we've outlined below how the software works and what it's main features and capabilities are. There are a number of key components that are required to work in sync to make Digital Signage work and as you'll see, our VisionCast™ software suite covers all your needs. Below is a high level look at the software components and where they run in each key part of our networks.

First, the software that runs on each location player (PC), is preloaded or can be installed on any standard PC running the Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Home operating system with some configuration setting adjustments. The first component is the Intertise Media Player. This software runs the ads and other content FULL SCREEN and in the foreground (always on top), repeatedly and real time, so changes that take place in the background are seamlessly integrated into what the customer sees without interruption. Intertise Media Player can also be customized with different skins and screen sections, so you add other content, scrolling marquees and permanent logos.  Intertise Media Player is also responsible for tracking, counting and reporting the ads and content it plays for reporting purposes.

The second piece of software that runs on the location player PC is Intertise Download Manager. This software is responsible for communication, scheduling, running the Intertise Media Player, logging all activity and creating the instruction files for Intertise Media Player.

Our back office software runs on our Media Server and is used to setup and maintain locations and advertisers, setup schedules and instruction files that Intertise Download Manager reads. It manages the log files from each location PC which are uploaded at connection time and creates all statistical and management reporting. It also allows our Creative team to setup and preview ads and it manages other integrated content.
