VISUAL CIRCUITS MEDIA MESSENGER CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SOFTWARE NOW MANAGES ALL VISUAL CIRCUITS NETWORK DIGITAL MEDIA PLAYERS
ROBUST, REMOTE SERVER MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY FURTHER SIMPLIFIES DIGITAL MEDIA NETWORK INTEGRATION

¾Visual Circuits Corporation today announced that the latest version of Media Messenger, its system management and scheduling software, has been extended over the full range of Visual Circuits Digital Media Servers: Firefly, Firefly SC, Mantis, and POPVideo players. Because existing scheduling and playlists integrate with Media Messenger seamlessly, no hardware upgrade is needed by in-service digital media players to take full advantage of this development. David Parish, Visual Circuits CEO, explains, The tremendous reception to our Firefly products, due in part to the intuitive Media Messenger software, highlighted the importance of extending the power of Media Messenger to other Visual Circuits products. Many of our customers have a variety of Visual Circuits digital media players in their systems. Offering one management tool compatible with the complete range of Visual Circuits products, simplifies administration effort and costs." Additionally, this revision offers new Visual Circuits customers a future-proof certainty: as they scale their Digital Media Network, Media Messenger will support their expanded system capabilities through any combinations of server and node hardware.

An unlimited use Media Messenger software license is available for $2400. The upgraded version of Media Messenger is complementary for existing Media Messenger customers.
