Yes, We Can is aired from one booth to another at the CeBIT 2009 exhibition hall.  Yes, the companies are suffering from a raised cost of machinery parts due to the decrease in the value of currency.  Yes, consumers are holding their pockets tight in the economic recession.  But yes, we also survived from the war-torn economy of 1962, and yes, we survived through the IMF.  And therefore, yes we sure can manage to get going in a global crisis.

Meet Yes Man at CeBIT 2009

CEO Kim Seung-il of Kistel (www.kistel.co.kr) said, “The time is critical in the sense of the economy worldwide, but we are here to make the best of it and present our best.”  The difficult time has not deterred Kistel from preparing thoroughly to meet any possible visitors.  Kistel not only invested a lot of money to bring display equipments including HD IP set-top boxes, large monitors, and Infotainment Screens, but also have video clips on CDs and catalogues ready on table to clearly explain their product to visitors.

What is there to See

Kistel exhibits its i-ad subway information system; Infotainment bus information system; i-table; commercial infotainment system; and a set of a set-top box, optical transmitter, and optical receiver all in a booth unit at Hall 16.  Visitors can interact with Infotainment screens and the i-ad subway information system monitor screens show a high definition image that provides real-time subway information.

But the product that shines the most is Kistel’s slim aluminum set-top box with a fanless operation system.  This set-top box can be connected to an optical transmitter, a selector, and then to the optical receiver that can be connected to up to three LDC monitors in a resolution of 1600 x 1200.  “How good is a digital signage or information indication system if one can only be placed in one spot of the entire subway station  We wanted to produce a cost-effective digital signage system where a set-top box can be extended to more than one monitor,” CEO Kim noted.

“CeBIT 2009 is sending a signal to buck the international crisis mentality,” Ernst Raue, Managing Board Member at Deutsche Messe, declared. Kistel’s leading customized convergence solution is sending a clear signal that it can contribute to the Webciety in a near future.  Where then are the digital signage IPTV evangelists
