Communication Challenges

Managing digital content across large venues poses significant challenges for companies: a variety of displays, changing content, and last-minute adjustments require a system that is both intuitive and reliable. This is exactly where expovision comes in.

The solution: A centralized, intuitive CMS

expovision enables centralized control of all content via a user-friendly interface. Content can be quickly created, customized, and displayed on various screens—in real time and from any location.

Key features include:

• Centralized content management for all displays
• Easy content scheduling and playback
• Flexible adaptation to last-minute changes
• Intuitive interface for efficient work

Focus on user-friendliness

A key focus during development was on the user experience: even complex processes should remain simple and easy to understand. Thanks to clear structures and streamlined navigation, content can be managed quickly—without a lengthy learning curve.

Use at large events

expovision was specifically designed for use at large events and trade shows. The software helps provide visitors with targeted information, guide them along routes, and dynamically adapt content—a key advantage in fast-paced event environments.

A Look into the Future

expovision lays the foundation for a scalable and future-proof digital signage solution. Additional features and optimizations are already in the works to meet the growing demands of digital communication.

E-paper displays: The energy-efficient smart signage solution

E-paper, also known as electronic paper or E-Ink displays, is a particularly energy-efficient display technology. Unlike conventional screens, they only require energy when the image changes—the content remains permanently visible without any backlighting.

This makes e-paper the ideal solution for applications with static or rarely changing content—for example, digital signage, price labeling, or information boards in offices, stores, or public institutions.

Why e-paper? The advantages at a glance

• Ultra-low power consumption: One battery charge often lasts for many months or longer
• Easy on the eyes & glare-free: No flickering, no light emission—as pleasant as real paper
• Sustainable & resource-efficient: Low energy consumption, frequently recyclable materials
• Ideal for fixed content: Perfect for applications with low change frequency

Samsung Color E-Paper: Color meets efficiency

The new Samsung EMDX series makes e-paper even more versatile. The color displays are extremely thin, lightweight, and offer high-quality, paper-like display—with minimal energy consumption.

They replace traditional advertising media and enable sustainable digital signage indoors and outdoors.

Customized e-paper solutions for your company

As an experienced Samsung partner, we offer customized concepts—from the gradual conversion of existing systems to complete redesigns. We support you from planning to commissioning.

Smart signage + e-paper = future-proof communication

The combination of smart signage (centrally controllable via CMS) and e-paper creates flexible, digital signage solutions that display content efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner—without any permanent power consumption.

Conclusion: Energy-efficient digital signage with e-paper

E-paper displays offer a powerful combination of sustainability, efficiency, and user-friendliness. Combined with smart control, they provide a modern solution for companies that want to communicate in a resource-efficient manner.

This year marks our 30th anniversary, which we celebrated in style.

30 years of innovation, customer focus, and technological excellence. Reason enough to pause, look back, and above all, say thank you.

What began in 1995 as a small, visionary company has developed over three decades into an established, high-performance partner in the field of media technology solutions for events, installations, and broadcast projects.

30 years of sld mediatec – An interview with Managing Director Sebastian Kamm

From its founding to today – a brief review

On Sundays, managing director Sebastian Kamm organized the first small parties together with two friends—improvised, but with a lot of passion. The money earned from delivering newspapers was invested in the first sound system from Ohm, which expanded the technical possibilities.

Together with Liam and Daniel, he finally founded sld mediatec GmbH—with the clear goal of taking media technology productions to the next level.

Early on, sld mediatec recognized the potential of modern media technology and consistently focused on quality, innovation, and service. The early days were characterized by a passion for craftsmanship and a pioneering technical spirit. With a small team and a great deal of commitment, the first projects were realized—always with the goal of creating the perfect media presentation for customers.

30 years of development and innovation

Over the past three decades, not only has our team grown, but so too has our expertise and portfolio:

• Expansion of the rental division for event technology and implementation of initial large-scale projects in the event industry
• Expansion to include permanent installations for museums, educational institutions, businesses, and public spaces
• Development of comprehensive system solutions for overall media technology concepts
• Digitalization push and establishment of hybrid event formats
• Integration of intelligent control systems, smart AV solutions, and sustainable technology strategies

Today, we implement media technology projects of all sizes—regional, national, and international. Our strength lies in combining technical expertise, creative thinking, and partnership-based project support.

One thing has never changed over the years: our commitment to technical and personal reliability. We believe that good technology not only works—it inspires. And that trust is the best foundation for long-term cooperation.

"Small enough to be flexible, big enough to handle complex projects."

This guiding principle aptly describes what our work is all about: customized solutions with a high degree of technical excellence—and at the same time the ability to confidently implement even complex, large-scale projects.

Many thanks to our customers and partners for their trust—we look forward to successful future projects together!

September kicked off with a big boost for our team—eight trainees and one permanent employee started with us on Monday.

The induction day included presentations with important information, a tour of the company, and, of course, a welcome package for each new team member.

We wish Gabriella, Constantin, Lucian, David, Pascal, Alexander, Maxim, Christoph, and Arthur a great start with us! We are delighted to have you here!

After almost three years of construction, Confex opened on June 28, 2024. Now, for the first time, over 6,200 conference guests can gather in one place, 4,300 in the Confex Hall alone—in a flexible, fully digitalized space that allows for live and hybrid events at the highest global level.

We installed the 72-meter-long Media Mesh on the facade of the Confex. It is unique in Europe in terms of size, and we think it looks simply impressive! Incidentally, thanks to the special construction, the interior spaces behind it are hardly affected, and you still have a great view of Cologne Cathedral. We also equipped the interior with numerous LED displays and digital signage.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of this forward-looking project!

The 11th Entrepreneurs' Ball was once again a resounding success! For this special event, we installed a 170m² LED wall, over 100 moving heads, more than 70 motors, over 700m of trussing, and over 25km of cable. All of this was only possible thanks to excellent teamwork – it's always great to see what can be achieved with #teamwork!
