Here are some of the useful features hidden in the simple user interface of the Digital Signage Assistants.
Drag and drop for easy editing
The Digital Signage Assistant is designed so that all basic operations can be completed with a mouse.
Videos and still images can be arranged by dragging and dropping, and reordering can also be done as desired by dragging and dropping.
Once the contents are arranged, simply press the export button to complete the organization.
Support for both video and still images
We often hear people say, “It’s difficult to edit video, but I can make a campaign announcement with still images,” or “I want to insert a few seconds of this still image between the video.”
With Digital Signage Assistant, you can use not only video but also still images to organize your video.
Especially in the case of still images, the playback time can be specified in seconds for each material, enabling a rich variety of expressions to be realized in a short time.
For companies that have a nationwide presence, it is possible to use corporate videos as the basis of the organization, while using still images to insert campaign information for each region, for example.
Automatic scaling to output resolution
The resolution of video and still images collected from various locations does not always match the resolution of the output display.
Digital Signage Assistant automatically and non-destructively scales each input material to match the output resolution.
The Digital Signage Assistant automatically and nondestructively scales each input material to match the output resolution, ensuring a perfect fit for the output display resolution.
It also includes a scaling mode that preserves aspect ratio, making it popular for its high degree of flexibility regardless of the video material.
Image transposition processing for vertical layout
It also supports 90-degree rotation of video images, which is necessary for vertical placement of SHARP information displays.
The process of transposing vertical video to horizontal orientation can be specified for each video material, allowing for flexible application to only certain video materials delivered in different formats.
Automatically select optimal bit rate
For compressed video streams, it is essential to set the bit rate according to the resolution.
Digital Signage Assistant automatically calculates the optimal bit rate internally based on the output resolution and output frame rate you set.
The Digital Signage Assistant is designed to obtain optimal image quality by automatically performing the complicated bit rate selection.
This is a unique feature of the Digital Signage Assistant that takes into account busy field operations.
Internationalization support
The user interface has been internationalized.
The user interface can be operated in Japanese in environments where Japanese can be displayed, and in English in other environments.
The instruction manual is also available in English and Japanese.
You can use this convenient environment both in Japan and overseas.
Support for both Windows and macOS environments
It is natural that different sites have their own particular computer environments.
Digital Signage Assistant supports both Windows and macOS.
The same user interface can be used in both environments.

Writing to USB memory
The process of writing to USB memory devices specially compatible with SHARP information displays is as simple as inserting the USB memory device into the computer and pressing the write button.
Folder creation, which is required for information displays, is also handled automatically, eliminating concerns about on-site operation at a stroke.
