Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

Capital Networks Ltd., Markham, Ontario-based provider provider of dynamic digital signage content creation and management software, has announced support of the NEC Android OPS digital signage solution, the latest addition to the Audience digital signage software platform.

Capital Networks logoNEC Android OPS screens use the Open Pluggable Spec which allows the open-source Android player box to be installed in the back of the commercial display panels. The solution offers tremendous flexibility with regards to deployment with the player being integrated into any compatible NEC display, eliminating the need for mounting or cabling of an external media player.

The integration of the Audience content management system offers a simple but powerful digital signage solution allowing users to run high definition content in customized single or multizone displays which can include dynamic graphics, various video formats, automated data feeds and more.

Among benefits, are:

  • Durable and protected with industrial grade components rated for continuous 24/7 usage;
  • Highly Flexible with easy additional storage through SD card slot and multiple USB connections;
  • Extra low power consumption (12W max) helps save on energy costs;
  • Android 4.2.2 (Jellybean) Operating System.

With this solution, no external connections are required. HDMI video, stereo audio, RS232 control and power are all passed internally from display to OPS device, allowing for seamless, hidden integration and simplified installation. In addition, the powerful 1.0 GHZ Quad Core CPU provides more than enough horsepower for crisp full HD video playback.
