Netpresenter Brings Flash and YouTube Content to Digital Signs and Screensavers

New Version of Digital Signage, PC Screensaver and Alert Player Boosted With
YouTube, Flash Rich Media, Video, Animation and Ticker Tape Functionality

NEW YORK, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Netpresenter
(http://www.netpresenter.com) launches Netpresenter Player 5.0, the next
generation in digital signage player software. Key new feature is support for
Adobe Flash content and YouTube videos, enabling delivery and playback of
these content types on PC desktops, large (digital signage) screens and even
mobile devices.
Because of the extended support in this version, users can include a
broad range of dynamic content to their presentations, including Flash
animations, live news feeds, live streaming video, TV channels, and even
YouTube videos. It also allows the addition of smooth running, CNN like,
ticker tapes to the screens, and transparent GIF images, often used for
weather and traffic maps. "The new generation Player allows users to really
spice up their digital signage and PC desktop presentations, screensaver and
alert messages. Making a presentation come to life has never been this easy,"
comments Frank Hoen, Netpresenter CEO.
The new version of the Netpresenter Player also offers so-called
dashboard functionality. This ensures current database content, including
sales graphs, live financial data, customer retention stats etc., can be
added to the Netpresenter presentation. "By feeding database content to
Netpresenter, slides can now contain even more types of information. Many
companies want to share figures on support calls handled, client wins and
other corporate statistics with their employees in real-time in order to give
staff the feeling they are valued and trusted. After all, research shows,
effective employee communication can spell the difference between retaining
employees and losing them*," Hoen adds.
Netpresenter Player 5.0 supports all Windows versions, from Windows 2000
through to Vista, including thin clients and Windows XP Embedded. Messages
can be prepared or amended via any web browser.
The new version of Netpresenters' Player software is available
immediately. For more information, please visit the website:
