andersDX, a user interface, embedded display technology design and integration specialist, has today launched a range of professional digital signage players running on the ARM-based #raspberrypi platform.
There are two main variants, a standalone small form factor unit, and interestingly an OPS (Intel’s Open Pluggable Specification) compliant device.
The OPS version is designed to slot directly into OPS capable display panels.
The players have been developed in partnership with Silver Curve, and use their graphics engine technology Aperture for maximum playback performance from the low-powered system.
They can be connected to content management systems from signagelive and Instoremedia, and OpenSplash player software is supported too.
A clever battery backup feature has been incorporated into the player, which lasts for 10 minutes, and is designed to cover any power supply hiccups on site without causing a complete restart.
Here’s an introduction to the player and the technology behind it featuring andersDX’s Paul Mullen and Silver Curve’s Bryan Crotaz.
The players are available through andersDX’s subsidary tinygreenpc.com, which supplies small low power computing devices, and has a starting price of GBP 280 (ex VAT).
