What makes Scala different? Here are 12 factors that set Scala apart from the competition, and why you will be in good company when you choose Scala software for your signage deployments.
|
|
|
 |
QUALITY
|
|
|
|
|
|
Image quality with Scala is significantly crisper and cleaner.
Why?
- We drive the screen at its native resolution. No video stretching, just one-to-one pixels.
- Animations don't tear. Fly-ons are smooth.
- Text is antialiased in realtime (no jaggies!)

EXPERIENCE

|
|
|
|
|
We've been doing this longer than anyone else (since 1987 in fact)!
With more than 20,000 systems deployed worldwide, Scala is the world leader in software solutions for dynamic signage networks — that's more than all of our competitors combined!

SIMPLICITY
|
|
|
|
|
|
NEC has picked Scala as their global software partner for dynamic signage.
Scala Players are pre-installed on the NEC BlueFireVC controller. This dramatically simplifies the deployment of a network. Just plug it in, change the IP number and password, and go!

SCALABILITY
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scala networks have proven scalability, flexibility and reliability.
- Whether its 10, 1000 or tens of 1000's, the same software architecture has you covered.
- The same Scala network can also control interactive multimedia kiosks and displays.
- Our system has proven 24/7 reliability.

|
 |
CONTROL
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scala enables you to run YOUR OWN network.
We don't force you to use our servers. Have the confidence and security of running your own dynamic signage network.
And we will never be your competitor!
