New Stand Alone Digital Signage Player and Server in One

Robust SP Series Combines Functions for Efficient Deployments

SAN JOSE, Calif., - March 6, 2012 - DT Research™, Inc., an industry leader in the development of digital messaging appliances for vertical markets, today announced a new line of digital signage players, the Player/Server Appliances (SP). An SP appliance performs as both a media player and a server, eliminating the need for a separate server device, and streamlining digital signage deployments. With pre-installed WebDT Player and WebDT Content Manager software, the SP appliances are ready to perform out of the box, ideal for events, presentations, reception areas, and test deployments. One SP appliance is also capable as operating as a server for up to ten digital signage player appliances, ready to create a network for targeted communications.

The SP1350 is a small form factor solid state player that incorporates an AMD Fusion Dual Core processor and Hudson graphics card in one design. This fanless, power-efficient player offers full HD display resolution, providing content with the best possible viewing experience, and a wireless network interface option.

The SP200 is powered by the Intel Core i3 or i7 processor, with full-HD/dual full-HD, and the capability to display content on one or two screens. The SP200 also offers an optional video capture card with HDMI, component, composite, and S-video inputs.

Both the SP1350 and SP200 offer the Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 operating system, making it flexible to integrate with third-party applications.

The scalable SP digital signage appliance line grows with the needs of the deployment and project, offering a streamlined digital signage set up in a single location and able to accommodate adding on players and locations. There are no recurring fees with the WebDT Digital Signage System, lowering the total cost of operating and giving complete control of content management. The comprehensive WebDT Content Manager software provides a navigable interface to schedule and plan content files from any location and also includes tools to manage signage appliance functions such as power on/off timing.
