Seminar Highlights Innovative Solutions from JVC and FOCUS for the
Rapidly Growing Presentation and Audio/Visual Display Markets
FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. (Nasdaq:FCSE) announced today that
JVC is co-sponsoring their Digital Signage Seminar on June 9th in
Atlanta, during the upcoming InfoComm (International Communications
Industries Association Inc.) trade show. The seminar is designed to
give AV dealers the information they need to identify and capitalize
on digital signage opportunities and will include presentations by
JVC, FOCUS, and Crows' Nest Entertainment. This May, Crows' Nest
Entertainment successfully implemented a highly acclaimed digital
signage installation at the Bloomingdales' SOHO store.
"As a leading supplier of electronics products for presentation,
video production, and security applications, JVC recognizes the
importance of the digital signage market," explains Robert Harris,
Vice President of Marketing, JVC Professional Products Company. "The
ability to target the consumer at point of sale with attractive and
effective messaging, presents a cost effective alternative to
broadcast advertising to advertisers and retailers. JVC is dedicated
to providing products that maximize the appeal of the display, ease
installation and minimize maintenance."
"The JVC and FOCUS relationship developed in 2003 around our
DTE(TM) acquisition technology, which they market as JVC FireStore
DR-DV5000, and that's when we recognized a greater opportunity for the
digital signage market," added Brett Moyer, CEO of FOCUS. "Powering
JVC displays with Firefly MZ (TM), the multi-zone digital signage
network appliance that's getting accolades from the industry, helps us
reach out to dealers to help them meet their customers' needs."
The Digital Signage Seminar will be held on Wednesday, June 9,
2004 at the OMNI Hotel at 100 CNN Center. For more information or to
