One of the largest digital transit information systems in North America is using Minicom's Video Display System to deliver content to commuters.

Onestop Media Group (OMG) is a full service digital signage network operator.

Its digital media network for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) delivers real-time transit information, news, sports, weather, entertainment and advertising to double sided 40in LCD screens on subway platforms reaching over 1 million riders weekly.

As the network owner and operator, OMG funded the installation, sells the advertising inventory, and shares its profits with the TTC.

"Integrators like Onestop come to us because our video-over-CAT5 distribution system scales well for large digital signage installations, and because we make it affordable for them to deliver high quality, high definition video over long distances", says Saul Mishaan, President Minicom US.

Onestop Network chose Minicom because of its superior price/performance ratio.

"Our electronics design team evaluated several video-over-CAT5 solutions and Minicom's solution had the best quality image output and design for the rugged environment in which we are deploying our systems".

"Also, compared with other similar products, Minicom has the best price to performance available", said Steph Gagnon, Director of Operations Onestop Media Group.

The decision to use Minicom products was advised by Eclipse DS of Canada, a distributor that specialises in turnkey solutions for Digital Signage.
