SPECIFICATIONS for DIDO Jr
DIDO Jr has the same specification as the the DIDO Pro with the exceptions of the Jr having half the INPUTS of a Pro, thus removing
the QUAD and TRI Mode capabilities.All else is the same!
DIDO 101
The DIDO Pro and DIDO Jr are ideal solutions whether doing video walls, multi-image viewing on a single screen, or single and multi image viewing in a rotated view! DIDO's patent pending technology makes it the only solution for real time multi-image rotation or portrait mode video walling.

Now let's examine
Retail applications
and how they can be
configured.
DIDO 101
DIDO products are currently in use by a host of retailers for various applications. Video Walling and Image Rotation are the most common. Such
stores as Hollister, 360°, ECKŌ, and Harley Davidson have DIDOs effectively deployed both
regionally and nationally.

Problem:A major retailer has portrait mode LCD panels
installed and has content produced for that aspect ratio. How do they then show live broadcasts on
those portrait mode screens?Solution:
Dido Jr! Here's how...

Recently, PRN, the self proclaimed 800lb Gorilla of the Digital Signage
world approved DIDO Jr for an application where one of the largest
retailers in the world needed an image rotation engine. This gives the retailer
the ability to do live broadcasts on their existing portrait mode network for
special events such as concerts, software/hardware debuts and
emergency situations. One DIDO Jr per store on the head end of the video
distribution network solves their problems.
Problem:A new high end car dealership in Irvine California wanted an eye catching video wall to transform the showroom into an exciting attraction destination.
Solution:DIDO Jr of course...

One DIDO Jr behind each of the 12 panels
can have their control ports loops so that they need only one
Serial Port.The same can be done with most commercial
panels. Enter the WACI NX Jr!
Don't forget to ask how they are controlling
their signage!Did you know...?
Aurora has a patent pending for portrait mode video walling.
Problem:A retailer wants to display images side by side to so
they can display a news channel with an image from a PC, such as a Power Point presentation or
advertising display file.
Solution:DIDO Jr of course...

Show dual images side-by-side or stacked in portrait
mode to maximize your panel's real estate. Use a TV tuner or DVD player
with a PC or virtually any source. Various resolutions can all be scaled to native resolution of the panel, up
to 1080i.
Houses of Worship are getting more and
more technologically advanced. Their
budgets often reflect their desire to have
the latest and greatest.DIDO Pro can be the
answer to their prayers.
DIDO 101
Often the goal is to again maximize the
real estate of the display, whether
projector or panel.Images from cameras
such as the minister and choir can be
grouped with hymn lyrics or scripture verses or weekly
announcements on the same screen.
DIDO 101
Broadcasting holds a exceptional
opportunity for the DIDO Jr. Many
broadcasts today have portrait mode panels
on set. Image rotation engines can cost as much as $20,000!
DIDO Jr @ an MSRP of $4500.00 is an
welcomed solution.
DIDO 101
Most Broadcast solutions require SD video instead of Aurora's DVI-D based input. No Problem! Commercially available converters are only a few hundred dollars and still make this an optimal choice for broadcasters. In fact, you can look for such a product available from Aurora in upcoming months.
Shows using DIDO products on set include The Today Show, CNN News, ESPN's Around the Horn, and NBC's Las
Vegas.

rentals. Events such as awards shows, college graduations and beauty pageants have all used DIDO products for years. Make
