Digital Signage, Not Only A Box!

When it comes to digital signage, people talk about decoding capability and numbers of graphic output, that’s it? Of course not, today’s digital signage is no more a standalone media player, it could be networked media player, it could be even empower by remote technology to replace traditional daisy chain switch.

In AAEON’s digital signage solution, we have 3 segmentation- value, mainstream, and intelligent. Value line has low power ATOM processor, is capable to handle full HD graphic; Mainstream line are mainly AMD solution, suitable for heavy graphic demanding media content; If you are looking for something more than graphic power, also in calculation power to handle complicated message detecting from sensors to decide what content to play, even do remote management, then Intelligent line is definitely your choice.

As standalone media player is not a trend any more, networked media player is emerging in the market, it saves a lot of hassles in maintenance and content update, in some field 3G media player is next upcoming demand. Today standalone media player is a highly price competitive market, where you can see consumer PC are popular in this segment, however, in networked or 3G media player, encryption and security are required, besides contents are variable according to audience if sensors are deployed in design, a reliable industrial media players can do a good job; furthermore, customization in 3G module integrated is what industrial PC is good at. 

Desire multi-display features? Thanks to innovation of graphic chipset technology, a lot of media player is already capable to handle 2-3 independent video output, what if you want more? Let’s see how to achieve this.  

While traditional daisy chain board or media switch still use proprietary TCP/IP, AAEON’s remote display technology use standard TCP/IP transporting by CAT-5 cable. The system includes one sender, and receiver units—all interconnected in a cascade concept. All work together to extend 1080p full HD with RS-232 and IR control signals with simply CAT-5 cable. Support remote booting when system fails. IP camera connection, audio broadcast. CAT-5 distances up to 100 meter.
