Cisco is branching out in many new directions, with a particular emphasis on video, executives said this week at the companys C-Scape analyst conference in San Jose. At the conference, President and Chief Executive Officer John Chambers demonstrated networked electronic signs using technology from Tivella, which has had a partnership with Cisco for a few years, according to Wyatt.The Cisco Digital Media System, introduced in September, lets enterprises create, schedule and publish content to desktops via the Cisco Video Portal interface. That content could include video on demand for training or live messages to employees. Through Tivellas technology, Cisco can bring that kind of content to monitors and TVs in stores and other public places, Wyatt said.
