- The Samsung Solum subsidiary has several “bar” screens designed for nightlife and high -end retail spaces at ISE 2025
- A network display interface (NDI) for high -resolution video streaming can manage screens up to 8k and 65 inch, and be used to provide direct assistance in retail
- Electronic shelves labels (ESL) could allow retail companies to compete with online stores in real time
Solum, a digital signaling company was released from Samsung a decade ago, offered a variety of catchy ideas for retail and commercial spaces on its stand at ISE 2025.
Showing that there is more in digital signaling than screens of only 16: 9, Solum presented a wall of options in unconventional forms – for example, it has a 35 -inch wide screen but only six inches high.
These “bar” screens are high resolution so that they can present text and clear and vibrant images.
The descriptor of the “bar” could also refer to his use case, as a spokesperson explained that these products are intended for locations such as bars, clubs or high-end retail sites which seek to create a modern and advanced aesthetic.
To illustrate this, Solum made fun of a wine store with bottles in glass boxes, with adjacent bar exhibitions reflecting the appearance of wine. He also showed a Spectra 6 e ink screen with an advertisement of wine that seemed identical to print.
Solum has also shown its range of electronic labels (ESL), which are more ecological than impressions.
Thanks to E-Ink, a store could update them at the same time, allowing brick and mortar stores to compete with the price with online retailers thanks to almost real dynamic price changes.
High power efficiency and resolution, low latency
Techradar Pro It has been said that a single rechargeable battery can power an ESL shelf, and that, if it was updated once a day, the battery would last ten years.
To enable them to increase efficiency for several daily updates, the representative said they explored other technologies.
Although it is not attracted to what they were, it seems likely that they are considering wireless power solutions, such as Wi-load technology on which we have written before, which would effectively feed ESLs in order to that they can be updated as often if necessary without time or cost implications.
Another interesting technology on display was a large screen designed for customer service, with an AI assistant capable of answering predefined questions and a range of network display interface (NDI) displays.
NDI screens allow you to send high resolution video to a network with extremely low latency. A suggested use case was that the sports stadiums show the live game which takes place at the time, but without noise of crowds or comments, for the benefit of those who look at the screens of hospitality.
The NDI standard can manage the video up to 8K, and Solum has compatible screens in sizes of 43, 50, 55 and 65 inches.
