We will give you $1000 off a stater kit of PADS4 Scheduler Designer and XPERT Viewer. You only need to make up the difference if you buy more licences in the future. The more you buy the more we will scale back this difference as well. A great time to start your PADS4 Digital Signage experience. Contact Us for details

What's more when you buy PADS4 products we will give you up to 20% off a PHILIPS 42" FULL HD LCD Panel BDL4245E, and either an AOpen DE7000 Media Engine or an Advantech DS220 Open Pluggable Slot PC. The hardware will be preloaded with Windows 7 and your PADS4 software. All the hardware will be fully configured and tested prior to delivery so you are ready to go. Another great PADS4 deal from SignIT.

PADS4 DIGITAL SIGNAGE SOFTWARE

Just some of the new features in PADS4 Digital Signage Software.

1. New Graphical User Interface- What you will notice right away is that all applications have been restyled to the newest Microsoft Office style user interface. This not only reduces the learning curve for everyone familiar with Microsoft products, but also increases productivity.

2. Data providers– To even better include real-time data from external sources PADS4 has new native data providers for Microsoft Exchange, RSS feeds, Microsoft Excel, text files, folders, ODATA, .NET and WMI. Existing data providers have been improved. Data providers can now be stored to reuse them in other presentations.

3. PADS Designer– The design window has been enriched with new items like a ruler, an elements window to easily access your page elements and a playlist window to quickly make playlist adjustments. In addition new zoom, rotation and drag-and-drop features enable you to design your presentations even more quickly.

4. PADS Content Library– PADS4 comes with a complete new Content Library system which is automatically synchronized across your entire PADS installation. So no matter where you are working, you will always have access to your pictures, videos and other content files. The PADS Content Library also ensures that each PADS Viewer will have access to your content to show it.

5. Simplified installation & configuration– In the setup you can now choose from predefined configurations and enter the key program settings to speed up the installation process. Viewers have become plug & play with the new automatic server detection feature. The license dongles have been replaced by a much more flexible activation mechanism. All configuration tasks have been centralized into our new PADS System Management application.  

6. Page elements – Many elements have been enhanced with new properties like reflection, flip, transparent shadow and property binding. Property binding enables you to adjust element properties real-time. Time zone and culture support for the formatted text, screen shot support for the web element and a rotation feature for the scrolling text are just a few of the many other new properties. Completely new are the interactive button element and the external application element.

7. PADS Scheduler– The PADS Scheduler application – formerly known as PADS Manager – has got a completely new calendar view. This calendar offers different views like day view, month view or timeline view to see at a glance what has been scheduled. Recurring schedules no longer have a separate view, but have been completely integrated into the same view. New schedules can now contain a complete playlist of presentations, where you can select the individual pages you want to be visible. To quickly schedule a presentation you can use the new drag-and-drop feature.

8. PADS Viewer – Performance has been improved to play your presentation even more smoothly. In case of a problem you can check the black box in which all relevant information about the problem and the time period preceding the problem is stored. PADS Viewer is available in different variants as a replacement to former products like PADSXPRESS.

9. Software Updates– With the built-in check for updates function you can simply download and install new versions of the PADS software.

10. Software Development Kit (SDK)– Behind the scenes we have placed a complete new ‘engine’ into the PADS system. This has resulted into a new SDK to develop custom solutions easier and more quickly.
