Scala and NEC, leading providers of digital display solutions, announced today the addition of the NEC Display Open Pluggable Specification (OPS-DRD) Digital Player to the Scala-certified Android operating system player family.
The NEC OPS-DRD system is an all-in-one, system-ready solution for managing dynamic displays for cost-sensitive, heavy-volume segments where high-performance video and connectivity are paramount. Combined with Scala’s Player for Android, it is an ideal solution for digital signage applications across wide-ranging industries such as retail, quick-service restaurants, finance and more. Scala is announcing the certification of the new player in conjunction with the release of a major upgrade to its core software, Scala Enterprise Release 11.
The all-in-one system runs on a quad-core processor and produces seamless, crisp playback for resolution up to 1080p and – most importantly – for 24/7 usage due to fan-less and solid-state components. External connections are bypassed with HDMI video, stereo audio, RS232 control and power passed internally from the display to OPS device, allowing for easy setup, which also includes the option of a wireless network connection.
Peter Cherna, Scala chief product officer told us “Adding the NEC player is a great fit for Scala, as its potential for broad application aligns with Scala solutions powering digital displays across wide-ranging industries. The easy set up combined with powerful computing and high-quality, 24/7 playback are perfect for anything from kiosks and POS systems to menu boards”.
Chris Feldman, NEC product manager for solutions added “Teaming up with Scala has allowed us to deliver the ideal all-in-one solution for managing dynamic displays,” said “Coupling NEC’s OPS-DRD media player with Scala-certified Android devices provides a platform to easily create and centrally manage the deployment of content. The OPS-DRD, combined with Scala’s Player for Android, sets the industry standard for digital signage applications across multiple industries.”
The NEC OPS-DRD system is a sleek, energy-efficient system with an ergonomic, space-saving design that measures just 17.5 cm x 11.8 cm x 2.5 cm and connects directly into NEC’s E705, E805, E905, and all V, P, and X series displays, creating a seamless installation. It can also be connected externally using the OPS-DOCK docking station. The NEC Display OPS-DRD Digital Player system is backed by NEC’s worldwide software support and three-year hardware warranty.
